RECOMMENDED CLEANERS/DISINFECTANTS
CLEANING & DISINFECTION
To reduce the risk of electric shock:
- Always unplug this furnishing from the electrical outlet before cleaning.
DANGER
Reference the Recommended Cleaners and Disinfectant list (MMINML0008-EN) that came with the table
or on our website www.shop.spatables.com under product information.
OAKWORKS® recommends a prepackaged wipe for cleaners/disinfectants to ensure best distribution
of disinfectant for the required kill time, without leaving excess residue and/or overexposing components
therefore minimizing the potential for damage to materials. Please read and follow disinfectants manufac-
turers’ directions for cleaning and disinfection.
OAKWORKS® does NOT recommend the use of cleaners/disinfectants containing Hydrogen Peroxide,
Acetic Acid, or Phenolics. These chemicals can cause damage to the appearance and/or material
integrity of various components. Also, while the recommended cleaners/disinfectants list includes
products containing Quaternary Ammonium compounds (“quats”), not all products containing quats are
approved for use. Some contain additional detergents and/or surfactants which can be detrimental to some
materials.
A note on Bleach: While a 10% sodium hypochlorite (household bleach) solution (EPA No.: 5813-100 or
equivalent) can be an effective disinfectant and is dilute enough to be benign to most materials, it alone is
not an effective cleaner and a separate product must be used for the initial cleaning steps of the procedure.
Because of possible chemical incompatibilities between various cleaning products and bleach, utmost care
must be taken by the user to avoid potential exposure to harmful or toxic by-products of the combination.
Also, because bleach leaves a potentially corrosive residue as it evaporates, it must be rinsed with clean
water after disinfection.
CLEANING PROCESS
Follow the cleaners/disinfectant manufacturers’ directions for use. Please note that cleaning and disinfect-
ing an OAKWORKS® table is a two part process. First it must be cleaned of any visible soil, then it can be
disinfected. The table should be cleaned as soon as possible after use. Please follow these procedures for
best results:
1. Using a fresh wipe or wipes, clean any visible soil off of the table, working from the top to the bottom of
the table.
2. Throw the used wipe(s) away.
3. Using a fresh wipe or wipes, thoroughly wipe all surfaces of the tabletop and any high-contact areas
such as handles, handsets, etc., making sure they remain wet for the disinfectant manufacturer’s rec-
ommended contact time.
4. Throw the used wipe(s) away and allow the table to dry.
To reduce the risk of electric shock:
- Always unplug this furnishing form the electrical outlet before cleaning.
