Machine Wash and Disinfect the Cushion
IMPORTANT:
Machine washing can cause wear and damage, including cuts and tears to the cushion and the detachment of required product information.
Washing and disinfecting the cushion by hand and air drying is strongly recommended.
Warnings:
- DO NOT allow water or cleaning solution to enter the cushion. Make sure the inflation valve(s) are closed.
- Sensor Ready Cushion: Make sure the Smart Check is detached from the cushion. Water in a cushion with Sensor Ready (SR) technology can result in
damage to the Smart Check and cause a false reading when using Smart Check.
- High water temperature may cause cushion discoloration and label detachment.
- DO NOT expose cushions to temperatures above 70°C (158°F), which may damage cushion components.
-
For machine washing or disinfecting, make sure the washing machine capacity is sufficient. A washing machine that isn’t large enough may not remove all soil
or contaminants from a cushion.
- Using a damaged cushion will reduce or eliminate the benefits of the cushion and increase risk to skin and other soft tissue.
Prepare the Cushion for Machine Cleaning:
1)
Remove the cover and close the inflation valve(s). Examine the cushion for damage, and patch any holes (refer to Repair Kit instructions provided
with the product).
2) Remove stains or odors as needed: Place the cushion in warm water and a disinfectant cleaning agent. Gently scrub, using a soft plastic bristle
brush, and rinse with clean water.
3)
Deflate the cushion: Open the inflation valve and roll up the cushion, starting at the corner opposite the valve. After you have removed as much air
as possible,
close the inflation valve
.
4) Inspect for any sharp edges in the washing machine that may damage the cushion.
Machine Wash the Cushion:
Place the cushion in a laundry bag and then into the washing machine. When folding the cushion, make sure the air cells face outward.
Use warm water (85º - 105ºF / 30º - 40ºC) and laundry detergent or machine- and cushion-safe cleaner/biocide, placed in the detergent dispenser.
Gentle cycle: Use a machine setting that does not include a high-speed spin cycle.
