Using this inflatable Santa is a piece of cake. First, find a flat outdoor area or yard where you want to set it up. Then, just plug it into a standard outlet, and within minutes, it will self - inflate and be ready to light up your space. When it comes to maintenance, after the holiday season, unplug it and let it deflate. Gently fold it up and store it in a dry place. Make sure to keep it away from sharp objects to avoid punctures. Since it's made of weather - resistant and waterproof polyester, it can handle normal outdoor conditions, but in extreme weather like heavy storms or strong winds, it's a good idea to bring it inside to prevent damage.
