The Ernie and the Bert require little maintenance: 

  Check daily that all the fastenings, clamps and adjusting screws are properly fixed; 

  Attend  to  daily  hygiene.  The  standing  frame  can  be  cleaned  using  general  domestic  cleaning 

agents  that  do  not  contain  chlorine.  Ensure  that  no  residues  of  soap  remain  on  the  standing 
frame as this could cause skin irritation; 

  Keep the Ernie and the Bert clean: for example, clean the wheels every week; 

  Lightly  spray  the  moving  parts  with  silicon  spray  once  a  year  (note:  silicon  spray  may  leave 

stains on surfaces).
