Draining the water from the splash pad prior to storage is an important step in preventing mildew build up.Press down gently on the edges of the pad to push out whatever water you can while the pad is still on the ground.Lift the pad from the side opposite the hose attachment allowing a majority of the water to drain.Place the pad on a hard outdoor surface and, starting at the end opposite the hose attachment, begin rolling the pad up towards the attachment, forcing out the remaining water.Hang the splash pad outdoors and allow to air dry.Your splash pad is now ready for storage.
