11 Cleaning & Care
Information
How to Maintain
When cleaning the product we recommend
that you use only warm water and a
nonabrasive detergent. Never use organic
solvents or dry cleaning fluids.
Upholstery and fabrics
1. The upholstery and fabrics can be
removed and machine washed and tumble
dried at a low setting. The standard covers
can be washed at 40 degrees Celsius and
the Infection Control covers at 90 degrees
Celsius. Please remove the foam before
washing the head support, posterior support
and pommel covers. All other soft upholstery
can be placed directly in the washing
machine.
2. If the upholstery is to be cleaned in-situ,
the best cleaning method is a 'wipe & dry'
technique.
3. Staining should be removed as quickly
as possible with absorbent cloth, towels or
a sponge. Routine soap and warm water
sponging is effective for ordinary soiling
and minor spills. Be careful not to over wet
the fabric, as this will cause the staining to
spread.
4 Antiseptic cleaning agents can be used
on more stubborn stains. These may require
a safe solvent such as Isopropyl Alcohol or
Mineral Spirit. A half cup of household bleach
to 5 litres of water can also be used as a
useful disinfectant.
5 Always ensure the product is dry before
use.
Metal and plastic components
1. Soap and water or antibacterial spray can
be used for daily cleaning.
2. For deep cleaning a low pressure steam
cleaner can be used.
3. Do not use solvents to clean plastic or
metal components.
4. Make sure the product is dry before use.
