The use of neat bleach, abrasive products or
similar surface cleaners is not recommended, as
damage may be caused to the cleaned surfaces.
PPE must be worn during cleaning and
disinfection to prevent the risk of infection.
Care should be taken not to leave any cleaning
residues on the handgrips or seat which may
leave them slippery when used.
It is advisable to remove the carry bag and any
other attachments from the rollator.
General Cleaning:
•
Use a regular household cleaner and a damp
cloth. Start with the cleanest parts of the rollator
and systematically move to the dirtiest parts.
•
Extra care should be taken around areas where
excess dirt or dust may gather. The cloth should be
changed during the cleaning process if it becomes
soiled.
•
Wipe down with a clean cloth, moistened with a
mild detergent and diluted in warm water (40˚C).
•
Rinse with cold, clean water and a clean cloth
and allow to dry fully before use.
Disinfection:
•
Mop up any fluid with paper towels.
•
Clean the rollator using the instructions
provided in 'General Cleaning'.
•
Wipe all surfaces of the rollator with a
disinfectant (e.g. 70% IPA solution).
•
Allow contact time and wipe with a clean cloth
or rinse, in line with the manufacturer's instructions
for the disinfectant.
•
Allow to dry fully before use.
