Built to Last: The Ultimate Aussie Mambobaby™ Care Guide

How to protect your investment from the harsh Australian elements.

One of the main reasons parents choose the original mambobaby float australia over cheap inflatables is durability. While a PVC ring often ends up in the bin by the end of January, a PearlFoam™ float is designed to last for years—often through multiple children. However, the Australian environment—with its high UV levels, salt-water pools, and heavy chlorination—requires a bit of "TLC" to keep your float looking and performing like new. Here is how to clean your mambobaby float correctly.

The Post-Swim Routine

Whether you’ve been at Bondi Beach or in the backyard pool, follow these three steps after every use:

  • Rinse Immediately: Always rinse the float with fresh tap water. Salt and chlorine can break down the textile fibers over time if left to dry.
  • Unzip for Airflow: You don't need to remove the cover every time, but unzipping it slightly helps the PearlFoam™ core breathe and dry faster.
  • Dry in the Shade: Avoid leaving the float in direct, scorching midday sun to dry. Hang it in a well-ventilated, shaded area like a veranda or laundry room.

Deep Cleaning the Textile Cover

If your float has been through a heavy summer of sunscreen and snacks, it might be time for a deep clean. Our mambobaby maintenance tip is simple: the cover is machine washable! Simply unzip, remove the foam core, and wash the cover on a cold, gentle cycle with a mild baby-safe detergent. Do not tumble dry—air drying in the shade is the best way to maintain the shape and UV-protective properties of the fabric.

Part Maintenance Action Frequency
Textile Cover Gentle machine wash (cold) Monthly or as needed
PearlFoam™ Core Wipe with damp cloth Rarely needed
Sun Canopy Rinse and air dry flat After every salt-water use

Winter Storage: Preparing for the Off-Season

When the weather cools down and you’re storing your baby float for winter, make sure it is 100% dry. Storing a damp float in a dark garage can lead to mildew. We recommend keeping it in a breathable bag or its original packaging in a cool, dry place. Because it’s non-inflatable, you don't have to worry about the plastic becoming brittle or cracking like a folded inflatable would.

Did you know? Unlike PVC floats that end up as landfill, the Mambobaby™ is a durable baby pool toy that can be passed down to siblings or friends. It’s the more sustainable, eco-friendly choice for the Australian environment.
