Cleaning
Broda chairs should be wiped clean with soap and water.
Diluted household strength ammonia or chlorine based
cleaner, as well as a hospital grade cleaner may be used if necessary.
For best cleaning results, certain parts on the chair should be removed: Instructions for removal of the following
parts are in this manual: Ensure that the entire chair including removable and non-removable parts is thoroughly
cleaned.
Pay close attention to the frame, sockets, fasteners, parts and casters, for an even, thorough clean.
Remove parts for cleaning if desired:
1) Commode Seat
2) Swing Away/Removable Arms
3) Footrest
4) Commode Pan and Basket
Thoroughly clean all removable parts and padding, as well as the frame and components around the parts and
padding that have been removed. To help maintain the function of the gas springs, we recommend keeping them
lubricated after each use. A white food grade grease may be used. Solvents such as those found in spray lubricants
should not be used.
Broda chairs should not be cleaned with petroleum-based cleaners. Any petroleum-based products that come in
contact with any vinyl surface should be removed as quickly as possible.
Frequency and method of cleaning the chairs should be determined by facility infection control protocols. If visibly
soiled, thoroughly clean the chair immediately as per the cleaning instructions in this manual.
The cleaning instructions in this manual are guidelines only. Results may vary under actual conditions. The
information does not relieve the user of proper and safe use of the product and all cleaning agents and consideration
for the overall cleaning maintenance of the chair. Cleaning and care instructions must be followed in conjunction
with facility infection control protocols.
Broda will not accept warranty or liability claims on chairs that have not been cleaned according to the instructions
or cared for in proper regard for patient, caregiver and third-party safety and hygiene. The use of certain agents may
be harmful to the surface appearance and lifespan of the vinyl. Broda assumes no responsibility resulting from the
use of such cleaning agents to the vinyl.
Touch up paint is available for the powder coated frame. Please call Broda’s Customer Service Department if touch
up paint is required. Do not leave Broda chairs outdoors as the frame is not UV protected. Leaving the chairs
outdoors could cause the paint to peel.
