Cleaning Instructions
Cleaning and Disinfection Guidelines
Prolevo products are manufactured from polyurethane and should be cleaned in accordance with the user’s
protocol for the cleaning of mattress covers. There are some precautions which are detailed below.
Where a policy does not exist for cleaning, Prolevo recommend the following for both the polyurethane and
dartex covered products:-
Cleaning
• Weekly cleaning of the product with soap/ detergent and water, rinsing with clean water and drying
thoroughly.
•
The pump used to inflate the product can also be cleaned in the same way, with soap /detergent, and then
allowed to dry
NB - Depending on patient and continence status, more frequent cleaning or disinfection may be required
Disinfection
• Where there is visible contamination (e.g.faeces/blood/urine), this should be removed from the product using
soap I detergent and water, followed by rinsing with warm water. Following this, a disinfectant solution I wipe
should be used which provides between 1,000 and 10,000 ppm available chlorine (this will depend on local
protocol), followed by a clean water rinse and thorough drying of the product.
Precautions
The following points should be considered when cleaning Prolevo products
• Abrasives and scourers should not be used
• Phenol- based disinfectants should not be used
• The product must be dry before use
• Frequent cleaning with a concentrated disinfectant solution will reduce the life of the cover
•
Where new disinfectants are introduced, clarification will be needed to confirm that they are suitable for
polyurethane or dartex surfaces
Protective equipment should be worn when using disinfectant solutions, as per local protocol
