cl maintenance
It is recommended that your shower chair is serviced annually by your Showerbuddy Dealer or an
authorised, competent service agent, in addition:
1. Regularly inspect all parts of the chair for defects. Any defective part should be removed promptly.
2. Clean the seat using a damp cloth and a mild cleanser. Always read the manufacturers instructions
prior to applying the cleanser.
When using Sodium Hypochlorite (Bleach) on the seat, a solution of 0.1% Sodium Hypochlorite should
have no adverse effects on the cleaning of chairs. However, when using a solution of 1.0%, care should
be taken to rinse the chairs thoroughly with clean water after application. Over a period of time
bleaching may occur, but the integrity of the product will remain unaffected.
3. Dry off the shower chair after use.
4. Do not oil or grease any parts.
5. Keep the castors free from lime scale, soap residue and hair by cleaning after use in the shower.
Caring for stainless steel.
Stainless steel has excellent corrosion resistance, but it is not stain or rust proof. Regular maintenance
will keep stainless steel clean and free of contaminants. In most applications stainless steel will not
rust or stain even after many years of service, but when used in certain environments such as
concentrated chlorine or other corrosive elements stainless steel requires proper care and
maintenance. Do not leave stainless in contact with iron, steel or other metals.
1. Clean stainless steel frequently with soap and water. Any cleaner safe for glass is usually safe for
stainless steel; apply with a cotton cloth.
2. Use a coating such as a good wax to help safeguard the stainless steel.
3. Remove discolouration or rust spots as soon as possible with a brass, silver or chrome cleaner.
Irreversible pitting will develop under rust that remains on stainless steel for any period of time. Apply
a mild cleaner such as Ajax or an equivalent with a wet cotton cloth in the direction of the grain of the
finish. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry. Do not use abrasives such as sandpaper or steel wool on
stainless steel.
4. Do not clean with mineral acids or bleaches.
5. Do not store near any chlorine product.
