GENERAL CLEANING PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: When solvent type cleaners are being used, care should be exercised.
KEEP AWAY from fire or flame and use in a well ventilated area.
CAUTION: High pressure wash or “hosing down” chairs is not recommended.
CAUTION: Use of vinyl “conditioners” or “protectants” is not recommended. Vinyl
“conditioner” or “protectants” can cause plasticizers to migrate out of the vinyl
causing it to become “boardy” and eventually embrittled. This will prematurely age
your vinyl and is not covered under warranty.
Some institutional cleaners or disinfectants may cause discoloration of the vinyl. Use of cleaners,
other than those recommended by the vinyl manufacturer, is at the clinics own risk.
Follow the
vinyl manufacturer’s cleaning recommendations.
If you are unsure of your vinyl pattern
and color, please call Champion’s customer service department with the serial number from your
chair. The serial number can be found on the back frame of the chair on the left hand side.
Certain medications may produce a metabolite in the patient’s perspiration which can stain or
discolor fabric. If you have any questions, please call Champion’s customer service department at
800-998-5018.
GENERAL CLEANING – VINYL
IMPORTANT: For specific cleaning instructions, please see manufacturer’s cleaning
instructions included in the Vinyl Cleaning Instructions also on this in-service disk.
Chairs are constructed of various vinyls; depending upon the customer’s preference. Each vinyl
manufacturer has a cleaning process that they endorse for their product. Each manufacturer
produces their product with a protective finish to help keep staining agents from penetrating the
vinyl and becoming a permanent stain.
It is always important to remove a spill as soon as
possible after it happens, as this reduces the possibility that the stain will penetrate
the protective coating and migrate into the vinyl, becoming a permanent stain.
All manufacturers recommend a process of several different steps for cleaning their vinyl. It is
especially important to use all steps, in order, when working on a complex spill (one that has
several different potential staining agents).
BEGIN
by cleaning with a non-abrasive, all purpose household cleaner using a soft cloth or damp
sponge. Rinse with clean water.
Follow with solvent type cleaner using a soft bristle brush or soft cloth. Use at full strength.
Follow with a clean water rinse and pat dry.
CAUTION: Limit use of strong active solvent cleaners per manufacturer’s
instructions; unlimited use may remove the protective finish on the material
NEXT
use strong active solvent cleaners. This may be used with a soft cloth,
again limit use
per manufacturer’s instruction; unlimited use may remove the protective finish.
This
