Cleaning and Maintenance
It is recommended that your shower chair is serviced annually by
Chiltern Invadex or an authorised, competent service agent, in addition:
1. Regularly inspect all parts of the chair for defects. Any defective
part should be removed promptly.
2.Clean the seat using a damp cloth and a mild cleanser. Always read the
manufacturers instructions prior to applying the cleanser.
Using Sodium Hypochlorite on the seat
A solution of 0.1% Sodium Hypochlorite should have no adverse effects
on the cleaning of chairs covered in Ambla/Amblon. However, when
using a solution of 1.0%, care should be taken to rinse the chairs
thoroughly with clean water after application. Over a period of time
bleaching may occur, but the integrity of the product will remain unaffected.
3.Dry off the shower chair after use.
4.Do not oil or grease any parts.
5.Keep the castors free from limescale, soap residue and hair by
cleaning after use in the shower.
Caring for stainless steel
Stainless steel has excellent corrosion resistance, but it is not stain or
rust proof. Regular maintenance will keep stainless steel clean and free
of contaminants. In mosts applications stainless steel will not rust or stain
even after many years of service, but when used in certain
environments such as concentrated chlorine or other corrosive elements
stainless steel requires proper care and maintenance.
1. Clean stainless steel frequently with soap and water. Any cleaner
safe for glass is usually safe for stainless steel; apply with a cotton cloth.
2. Use a coating such as a good wax to help safeguard the stainless steel.
3. Remove discolouration or rust spots as soon as possible with a brass,
silver or chrome cleaner. Irreversible pitting will develop under rust that
remains on stainless steel for any period of time. Apply a mild cleaner
such as Ajax or an equivalent with a wet cotton cloth in the direction of
the grain of the finish. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry.
4. Do not use abrasives such as sandpaper or steel wool on stainless steel.
5. Do not clean with mineral acids or bleaches.
6. Do not leave stainless in contact with iron, steel or other metals.
7. Do not store near any chlorine product.
