Vinyl Vibe Studio

Big Vinyl Vibe Studio update.

VVS now offers discounted international shipping rates through DHL eCommerce!

In many cases these new rates are up to 50% cheaper than previous international shipping options, making orders far more accessible for customers outside the U.S.

The tradeoff is longer delivery times compared to premium carriers, but this opens the door for a lot more people around the world to finally access VVS products without shipping costs being completely overwhelming.

International shipping has been one of the biggest hurdles since launch, so I’m really excited to finally have a more affordable option available.

More improvements are on the way. Thank you all so much for the support.

Much love, & many happy fins!

Hey everyone! Did you know squeaky clean has officially launched. A first of its kind cleaner for soft vinyl, built from the ground up specifically for inflatable pooltoys. It’s designed to minimize plasticizer loss from cleaning, and be gentle and on print/paint.

Available in 3 sizes and 2 varieties: ready to use in a spray bottle, or a concentrate that you dilute.

I’m really excited to finally share this.

Over the past few years I kept running into the same question:
“What should I use to clean my pool toys?”

So I did what most people do.
I searched, learned, tested things… and honestly kept coming up short.

The deeper I got into it, the more I realized something important:

Soft vinyl isn’t just physically delicate.
It’s chemically sensitive too.

Most cleaners out there aren’t made for vinyl at all.
They’re made for dishes, hands, or general surfaces.

And a lot of them contain ingredients that can pull plasticizer out of the material over time
(SLS, alcohols, solvents, degreasers, oils, etc.)

Even when they seem fine, they can still be working against the material.

At a certain point I just stopped trusting what I was using on my own collection.

So I decided to build something from the ground up specifically for this:

Squeaky Clean
A cleaner made for soft vinyl and pool toys.

The goal wasn’t to make something fancy.
It was to make something I could actually trust.

Something designed to:
• Clean without aggressively pulling plasticizer
• Be gentle on prints and finishes
• Work with the material instead of against it
• Remove the guesswork completely

This is actually the project that eventually became Vinyl Vibe Studio.

This is the first release, and I’m calling it a beta launch because I want real feedback from real people. That’s how this gets better.

If you check it out or try it, I’d genuinely love to hear what you think.

Hard to believe he’s over 10 years old. Got some late night motivation to work on his restoring him. Finished reinforcing his legs, 1 was done some time ago, did the other 3. He’s getting a full plasticizer treatment, simply soft V1. He’s coming along great

ATBC is now in stock and ready to ship!

I know there are some pretty strong opinions about this plasticizer, I myself know I have contributed to the way it’s viewed in our community and so along with the release I wrote a blog post to clear the air.

https://vinylvibestudio.co/blogs/news/unpacking-atbc-a-complicated-legacy-in-the-pool-toy-community

ATBC has a long history of use in our community. I know plenty of people use it and swear by it. While it’s not the plasticizer I personally reach for, if it’s something you’ve used and something you’re comfortable with that’s a valid choice.

Everyone has the right to choose what’s best for them and their toys. I will support that any way I can. However, I do encourage experimentation. so from now till January 1, if you purchase a 16oz bottle of ATBC, you’ll get a 4oz bottle of one of our other plasticizers for free.

Just subscribe to our emails, add a 16 ounce bottle of ATBC to your cart. Then add one of our other plasticizers: DBS, DINCH, DOTP, or TOTM. The discount will be auto applied

Thank you for a wonderful grand opening and for your support!

Much love & many happy fins!

I’m starting a new movement, toys aren’t trash.
Pooltoys deserve love, they aren’t disposable, they are restorable. Play your part hug a pooltoy, when they leak, fix them. Scars don’t ruin something, they tell their story.
