Cleaning and Disinfection
Upholstery
Upholstery should be cleaned weekly with a mild
liquid soap and water mixture. afterwards, wipe
upholstery with a clean damp cloth.
MTI’s standard policy on disinfecting MTI medical
equipment is to use a 10% sodium hypochlorite
(bleach) and 90% water solution. If stronger or other
disinfecting and cleaning solutions are used, the
surface is at risk to be damaged or possibly cause
discoloring, cracking, or other types of damage to the
surface. See current CdC guideline for disinfection
and Sterilization in healthcare Facilities.
MTI understands that many customers prefer to use a
pre-mixed disinfecting solution in a spray or wipe. It is
MTI’s recommendation not to use sprays because over
time the overspray will cause damage to the surfaces
if not immediately wiped up. MTI recommends hand
towels or wipes to avoid the possibility of overspray.
once the approved contact time has been obtained,
remove and dry excess liquid remaining on the surface.
