CARE & CLEANING
HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR UPHOLSTERY:
In order to maintain the quality and ensure the life of the
C
elesta
G
emini
™
,
here are some preventative steps that can be taken to protect the upholstery
on the chair and accessories.
IF T
•
Protect your
C
elesta
G
emini
™
and accessories with sheets and
fleeces. We offer both fitted sheets and thick fleeces that
protect your upholstery fabric against oil stains while offering
comfortable 100% cotton flannel softness to your clients.
You can also preserve your face rest and bolsters with 100%
cotton flannel covers and fleeces.
• Clean your upholstered items only when needed with a mild
detergent or Green Windex. A diluted 1/100 bleach solution for
disinfecting can be used. Dry the table immediately after cleaning
to remove excess cleaning solution. Using strong cleaners, such as
alcohol, acetone, higher concentrations of bleach or other products
that contain high concentrations of these substances, can shorten
the life of your fabric, or discolor it.
Note: Damage caused by these
cleansers will not be covered under the warranty.
• Avoid extremes in heat. Very cold temperatures can make your
fabric prone to cracking. Very high temperatures can cause the
fabric to stretch permanently.
• Avoid exposing your products to direct sunlight for extended
periods of time. This can lead to fading and cracking of the fabric.
• Use an anti-slip pad to prevent oil from reaching the upholstery
and to keep your sheets from slipping.
Caring for your
C
elesta
G
emini
™
upholstery fabric involves more than just
protecting it from general abrasions, cuts and punctures. We offer most
of the products mentioned above in our therapeutic equipment catalog.
Therapeutic equipment may be reupholstered for a charge, but you can
lengthen the life of the upholstery fabric on your table by following these
quick and easy suggestions.
GENERAL CARE OF EQUIPMENT COMPONENTS:
•
Use only a mild solution of 4:1 diluted non-alcohol cleaner such
as 409
®
, Fantastik
®
or some other non-abrasive cleaner to wipe
down the metal and wooden surfaces of the chair. Apply with a
damp (not wet) lint-free cloth. Be sure excess liquid does not
drip onto, or into, any of the electrical controls or mechanisms.
Be sure that the unit is unplugged before cleaning these areas.
Wipe these areas carefully with a lint free cloth.
•
The electronic powering mechanism of your
C
elesta
G
emini
™
requires no general maintenance or lubrication.
•
The wooden cabinetry of the equipment can be polished with any
polish approved for wooden surfaces. Spray, or pour, the polish
onto a soft cloth and be careful not to get it onto other surfaces.
IMPORTANT
CAUTION
Before cleaning with any
liquid cleaner be sure to un-
plug the power cord from the
power outlet. Do not operate
the table in standing water.
