C. Cleaning

can accelerate the natural degradation of the foam. The effect will vary depending on
the chemicals used. Verify that the degradation has not progressed to the point the
cushion should not be used, according to the instructions for use provided with the
product, failure to do so can result in serious injury.

clean covers or use industrial washers and dryers to clean cover. Do not steam auto -

cover matches up to the back of the foam base. Note - If utilized in an institutional
setting, write the residents name with a permanent marker on the content label of
the cover. This will ensure the return of the correct cover to its matching cushion
