Cleaning the Regal
Intensive Care Unit
Ordinary deposits of waste and fluids can usually be removed with
soap and water. Stubborn deposits may require scrubbing with
“stainless steel” wool, nylon, or plastic scrubbers and/or the use of
commercial cleaning products. Always scrub in the direction of the
“grain” of the metal. Rinse with clear water and dry thoroughly with
a clean, soft cloth.
Minor scale build-up and some hard water spotting may be
removed by washing with vinegar, followed by a neutralizing rinse of
clear water, and a thorough drying with clean, soft cloths.
For heavy deposits of scale, 5% oxalic acid (use warm), 5-15%
sulfamic acid, or 5-10% phosphoric acid may be used. As always,
rinse with clear water and dry thoroughly with clean soft cloths.
Avoid prolonged use of chlorides (such as chlorine bleach),
bromides, iodides and thiocyanates. Never allow salty solutions to
dry on the stainless steel.
Note: NEVER power-wash the
Intensive Care Unit.
The clear acrylic portions of the doors and divider panels can be
cleaned with plain soap and water, or with a mild commercial glass
cleaner. Always use clean, soft cloths and keep in mind that hard
scrubbing can scratch the panels. Thoroughly rinse with cold water
and dry completely. Clean any heavy deposits of animal fluids off
the door and divider panels as soon as possible before they harden.
The wire grill divider and the metal frames of the doors are stainless
steel and should be cleaned in accordance with
Stainless Steel
Cleaning Procedures above.
The removable orange PVC floors are best cleaned with a hose, a
quality brush (not a wire brush), and any commercial soap or
detergent. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a clean, soft cloth. Clean
any heavy deposits of animal fluids off the floors as soon as possible
before they harden.
