Cleaning and Disinfecting the AeroSwitch
To get the most from your AeroSwitch, keep it clean and disinfected. If the switch will only be used by one person,
routine cleaning and disinfecting should be sufficient. If, however, multiple persons will be using the switch, take
additional measures to clean and disinfect it after it has been used by one person before allowing it to be used by
someone else.
Routine Cleaning and Disinfecting
Wipe the AeroSwitch with a soft, lint-free cloth slightly dampened with water, and dry it with another soft, lint-
free cloth.
Do not spray or splash liquid directly on the switch
.
To disinfect the switch, moisten a clean cloth in a solution of 1/4 cup of vinegar and 1 cup of water.
