Bean-Filled Pool Float Maintenance and Cleaning Instructions

Before You Use Your Big Joe Float

  • Inspect first: Check your float’s seams and fabric to ensure there are no tears or holes.
  • Loose beans are normal: Due to our unique fill process, you may notice a few beans inside the float or loose in the box.
  • Zippers: For safety, zipper pulls are removed before shipping. If you need to open your float, make sure to fully close all zippers before using it in the pool.

Important: Big Joe pool floats are designed for use by people in pools only. Using them in rivers, lakes, oceans, or allowing pets to use them may void the warranty.


Cleaning & Care Instructions

Keep your Big Joe pool floats looking bright and feeling great with simple, regular cleaning.

How to Clean:

  1. Rinse off debris: Use a hose to remove loose dirt, sand, or leaves.

  2. Prepare a cleaning solution: Mix 3 parts water to 1 part mild dish soap in a spray bottle or bucket.

  3. Scrub gently: Use a soft cloth or sponge to wipe the entire surface.

  4. Rinse thoroughly with clean water to remove soap residue.

  5. Air dry completely before storing or using again.

Care Tips:

  • Avoid bleach or harsh chemicals—they can damage the material.

  • Store floats in a shaded, dry area when not in use to prevent fading or mildew.

  • Promptly rinse after use in saltwater/chlorinated pools to reduce chemical buildup.
