Six Tips for a Balloon Care Brainiac

We want you to enjoy your balloons as long as possible, so here are some smart care tips on how to keep them fresh:

  1. Keep balloons weighted down to prevent getting caught in a tree or power line.

  2. Latex balloons don't like intense heat and direct sunlight, so when possible, keep them indoors.

  3. Metallic foil balloons conduct electricity. Keep them anchored down and away from power sources.

  4. When they deflate, discard them properly. Important! ALWAYS keep deflated or popped balloons away from children to avoid risks of choking. Children can choke or suffocate on uninflated or broken balloons; adults should always supervise young children—especially those under eight years old—with balloons.

  5. Despite the funny voice helium can give you, it should never be inhaled.

  6. Never release balloons into the air.

Now that you know the basics, enjoy your beautiful balloons! And remember, follow The Balloon Council Motto: “Don’t let go. Inflate. Weight. Enjoy!”
