"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "Keep your balloon in tip-top shape by inflating it gently and avoiding over-stretching. Deflate completely after use and store it flat in a cool, dry place away from sharp objects. The matte-coated mylar material is durable for indoor/outdoor use, but if it gets punctured, it's a quick fun replacement. Rinse if needed after poolside photos!"
