Cleaning and Disinfection of the Surfaces
Hygiene and Care of the Stainless-Steel Surfaces
The regular cleaning of stainless-steel surfaces is recommended for hygienic as well as aesthetic reasons and serves to
remove grease stains or fi nger marks. These can be easily removed with commercially available chlorine- and acid-free
stainless-steel cleaners. We recommend applying Prestan to the surface in question.
Most stainless-steel care products contain silicone oil. Using these products can make your work a lot easier. They
eff ortlessly remove any fi nger marks, but do not necessarily prevent new ones. Depending on the intensity of use, the
protective layer remains in place for a few days. Microfi bre cloths slightly moistened with water have also provento be
very eff ective.
Never use abrasive agents such as scouring powder, scouring milk or steel wool as these may cause scratches. Brushed
surfaces must always be wiped in the direction of the fi nish. For this purpose, we recommend using a microfi bre cloth.
After cleaning, we recommend always wiping stainless-steel surfaces dry with a lint-free cloth to remove water stains or
residual cleaning agent.
Disinfection of Stainless-Steel Surfaces
Do you put emphasis on a germ-free surface? Here, too, stainless steel proves to be extremely robust. Any commercially
available chlorine-free disinfectant can be used.
Tests have shown that stainless steel is considerably easier to disinfect thanother materials and even a lot less
disinfectant is required in order to meet hygiene requirements.
The Most Important Facts at a Glance:
Eff ective and generallysafe to use on surfaces are
• Soft sponges or microfi bre cloths,
• Soapy water (to remove greasy stains),
• Diluted vinegar (to remove lime),
• Sodium bicarbonate (to remove coff ee stains),
• Soda (to remove tea stains),
- Alcoholic solvents (to removeglue) and
• Special stainless-steel care products (for cleaning and conservation).
Caution is called for with
- Disinfectants containing chlorine and cleaning agents containing bleach (risk of corrosion).
Never use:
- Scrubbing sponges (scratches and extraneous rust),
- Scouring powder (scratches)
- Silver polish (corrosive).
The glass display of the doctor's device can be wiped clean. DKL recommends using
wipe disinfection. Only use disinfectants that do not have a protein fi xing eff ect.
