DELAMINATION:
Delamination is when the layers within
the structure of the mattress cover
separate. This can be caused by using
incorrect chemicals or too high a
concentrate of cleaning chemicals on
the surface.
HOW TO PREVENT DELAMINATION:
OSKA
TM
V-GUARD
TM
Technology covers
incorporate a special layering system
to make them much more resistant to
delamination than many other mattress
covers. However, to help prevent
delamination:
1.
Always abide by the cleaning
instructions
2.
Avoid using chemicals with too high
concentration.
3.
Ensure cleaning chemicals are always
thoroughly rinsed off before allowing
to dry
4.
The V-GUARD
TM
covers can tolerate
up to 10,000ppm chlorine but using
a weaker solution of 1,000ppm will
reduce the risk of a high concentrate
being left on the surface
5.
Ensure the covers are thoroughly dry
before using or storing the mattress
STRIKETHROUGH:
Strikethrough occurs when the fibres
in the mattress covers start to break
down. Small cracks develop, which on
inspection, may not be visible. This
means fluids and other contaminates
can pass through the cover and
contaminate the core of the mattress.
HOW TO PREVENT STRIKETHROUGH:
Covers are most susceptible to
strikethrough damage when they
are wet. During cleaning, extra care
should be taken to avoid abrasion
of the surface. OSKA

Disinfect in situ using 0.1% sodium
hypochlorite solution (1000ppm
available chlorine). Wipe off
any residue with clean water.

The fabrics are able to be washed
in warm soap water at up to 95°C.
All cleaning agents and
disinfectants must be thoroughly
rinsed off and the item dried before
storage.
Spin and tumble dry on a low
setting (not more than 130°c. The
fabric surface may wrinkle but
this will not impede function). The
operator ensures it is removed as
soon as all moisture is removed.
The fabric must not be left sitting
on the heated bowl of the drier
when drying is complete.
Do not mangle.
Do not iron.
Store in a cool dry area.
Avoid excessive pressure and
always thoroughly dry fabric before
re-use or storage. Do not fold away
wet or store in damp conditions.
Keep away from sharp objects.
Regularly check the inside of the
cover for any signs of leakage
If the cover leaks then the
waterproof barrier has been
broken and a new cover should be
purchased from OSKA
