Upholstery Care & Cleaning Instructions
Proper care is essential in ensuring the durability and reliability of TransMotion Medical upholstery. In general, all products
should be:
1.
Cleaned
2.
Disinfected (in accordance with facility policy)
3.
Rinsed
4.
Allowed to air dry
It is important to note that the terms “disinfecting” and “cleaning” should not be used interchangeably.
Disinfectants alone will not provide adequate cleaning since they do not have the appropriate properties to cut grease or oil
and remove grime, hair or skin oils. The appearance, feel and performance of your upholstery may diminish if not cleaned
properly.
Cleaning:
Remove hair, grime and body oils. Your upholstery should be cleaned on a regular basis with a damp cloth soaked in a
mild soap and water solution. Avoid harsh detergents or chemicals that could damage the finish of your product. If
disinfecting with manufacturer approved chemicals or bleach, the upholstery MUST be wiped off using clean water on a
damp cloth and allowed to air-dry as a final step. Failure to rinse upholstery with clean water can result in a build-up of
residues that, over time, may lead to drying, cracking or other undesirable changes to appearance, feel and performance.
Retain all instructional tags for future use.
Contact the manufacturer of the fabric used in your upholstery for a current list of approved disinfectants. TransMotion
Medical Customer Care can assist with identifying which upholstery was used with your Stretcher-Chair.
For customer supplied and non-standard materials, please refer to the individual manufacturer’s cleaning instructions.
