Cleaning and disinfection
Clean all areas that come in contact with user or caregiver with a disinfectant solution. To
prevent the spread of germs, disinfectant wipes should be used on a regular basis. Keep frame
dry and apply a non-toxic, hypoallergenic and biodegradable lubricant to all moving parts. After
longer storage periods, and before further use, the entire chair needs to be serviced, cleaned,
and disinfected.
Cleaning of frame:
Frame is to be kept dry and free of dirt and should be wiped off with a non-toxic, hypoallergenic
and biodegradable wipe. Lubricant should be applied to moving parts as needed to maintain
easy folding and adjustment. All contact with salt water should be avoided. If the chair is used
in salt-water environments, corrosion may occur. In the event of salt-water exposure, the frame
should be wiped off with a moist towel as soon as possible. Water and a soft cloth are sufficient.
Lubricant should be reapplied to all moving parts.
Cleaning of fabric cover:
Seat and back upholstery can be easily removed, washed, air dried and reattached to the
chair. Use standard detergent to wash fabric. Cushioned parts can also be removed from
chair, washed or wiped off with a moist cloth. Before reattaching them to the chair, make sure
they are completely dry. Use standard detergent to wash fabric. Use gentle cycle and cold
water. Hang Dry. Parts that are permanently attached may be wiped vigorously with a moist
cloth. Allow sufficient time to dry before placing user in chair. Storage Store your chair in a
clean, dry area and avoid extended exposure to moisture. After extended storage periods, and
before reuse, the entire chair needs to be serviced, cleaned and disinfected.
