All Inflatables will fade to some extent, due to UV exposure. Even if you notice UV bleaching, your inflatable is fine and will still function properly.

However, as mentioned in the Care Guide, prolonged sun exposure from being left outside will fade any material, inflatables included. If the inflatable is stored outside folded or rolled, the pattern of Sun Bleaching will become more apparent, due to the contrast of creating a zebra-pattern, due to only portions being exposed.

Outside of exposure to chemicals such as household Bleach, prolonged UV exposure is the only source of discoloration, other than mineral residue from some water sources.

To avoid further bleaching, please store the inflatable indoors, out of direct sun, as per the care guidelines, and any pattern may even out over time as the inflatable is used.
