Balloon Facts:*Latex helium balloons can float 1-4 weeks  if the inside is treated  with a water soluble plastic before filling with helium. An untreated 11 inch helium latex balloon normally floats 14 hours!

*Giant-size latex balloons can be used more than 1 time. Deflate the balloon and put it into your dryer on "warm"  for 15 seconds until it resumes it's original size.

*To personalize a single latex balloon: air inflate balloon to its maximum size, say 11 inches, and don't tie. Write message with permanent marker, deflate. Toss in warm dryer 10-15 seconds.  Re-inflate with helium one inch smaller (10 inches)   Sell!
