11.1 cleaning general:
The wheelchair should be wiped over once per week

with a slightly damp, not wet, cloth and any fluff or
dust that has accumulated around the motors should
be blown or dusted away.
Make sure that you dry all parts of your wheelchair if it

becomes wet or damp after cleaning or if it is used in
a wet or damp atmosphere.
It is important that should the wheelchair be used
•
by more than one person it is cleaned thoroughly to
ensure there is no cross infection. You should use
a proprietary disinfectant for this task. Please pay
attention to the manufacturer`s instructions of the
disinfectant you are using.
