Care of Wood Head and Foot Panels
Hill-Rom
®
wood products are treated with a resin based sealer and finish which
provide resistance to abrasion, staining, fluids, and fire.
Clean the headboard and foot panel by wiping with a soft cloth dampened with
a suitable cleaning solution: wipe with a dry cloth. Use diluted ammonia,
detergent, and bleach solutions to clean the wood surfaces.
CAUTION:
Many disinfectant cleaners, if used in high concentrations, have a
softening effect on any painted or finished surface.
The Centers for Disease Control recommend EPA approved hospital
disinfectants, used at the manufacturers’ suggested dilutions or bleach at 1:100
dilution (1/4 cup to 1 gallon water) to clean environmental surfaces such as the

LTC bed.
Do not allow a wet cloth to lay on the wooden surfaces. Immediately wipe up
any liquid spilled on the surface to prevent possible damage to the finish.
Apply a liquid furniture polish to the wood surfaces to protect the finish.
