Maximum washing temperature 30 deg. C, using water only, to remove stubborn stains a little mild
detergent is useful, but must be wiped clean with warm water. Above this temperature can
damage the canvas and leave residue. If desired cleanliness is not achieved R Healthcare advises
the canvas is replaced.
To remove sever stains and potential contamination, from such things as bodily fluids, R
Healthcare suggest steam clean. This type of cleaning in down to local risk analysis and infection

After any type of cleaning we recommend the wheelchair is thoroughly dried and inspected to
ensure, parts such as wheel and castors, have not been damaged and are still functional.
