Latex usually floats 10–12 hours. Ask for Hi-Float to make them last longer. Foils float for days.

Helium balloons: care & our guarantee

Every helium balloon is filled in our Worle shop with pure, undiluted helium from an official UK helium supplier, and every balloon is checked when it's inflated. We use pure helium because it's the premium way to fill balloons and it's why ours float for so long.

We don't make the balloons. They come from different manufacturers, and how long a balloon floats depends on the brand, the size and the temperature. Some last for months, some for days, so we can't promise exactly how long any one balloon will float. What we can promise is that if a balloon is faulty, we'll put it right.

How long will my balloon float?

  • Foil balloons often float for days or weeks, sometimes months. After about 48 hours it's normal for a foil balloon to soften and look a little less plump while still floating. That's helium slowly escaping through the foil, and it isn't a fault.
  • Latex balloons usually float for 8-12 hours. With Hi-Float added they normally last around 24 hours. We don't guarantee latex balloons beyond these times.

Top tip: make a soft foil balloon look brand new

Pop a drinking straw into the valve at the neck of the balloon and gently blow in a little air. Because we fill with pure helium, the balloon will look plump again and still float. You can do this again and again.

If something goes wrong

  • Contact us as soon as you can with a photo of the balloon, your name and your order number or receipt: WhatsApp 07365 001155 or email info@sweetsnthings.co.uk.
  • Foil balloons: report a fault within 24 hours of collection. If the balloon is faulty from the manufacturer and hasn't lasted 24 hours, we'll replace it.
  • Latex balloons: report a fault within the balloon's float time (8-12 hours, or 24 hours with Hi-Float).
  • After these times, a balloon gradually losing its float is normal and isn't a fault.
  • Whatever's happened, we'll always do our best to help. Often a quick tip is all it takes.
  • Balloons not bought from us but inflated by us are filled without a guarantee.

Looking after your balloons

  • Keep balloons out of direct sunshine and hot cars, and away from heaters. Heat makes helium expand and can pop a balloon.
  • Cold makes helium shrink, so balloons can droop outside on a chilly day and perk up again indoors.
  • Keep them away from sharp edges, rough or textured ceilings and pets' claws.
  • Always pop and bin burst latex balloons where small children can't reach them.
