CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
3.1 Cleaning After Each Use
Commode Pan
1. Remove the Commode Pan and empty its contents.
2. Wash the pan with a multi-purpose disinfectant cleaning solution. Use a toilet brush if needed.
3. Rinse well before storage or re-use.
NOTE: A soapy hot water wash followed by a disinfectant spray can be substituted for a multi-purpose
disinfectant cleaning solution
Molded Seat
1. Spray with a multi-purpose disinfectant cleaner and scrub with a soft brush as required.
2. Rinse with a water spray before storage or re-use.
DO NOT IMMERSE
the shower chair seat in water or cleaning solutions.
3. For a more thorough cleaning, remove the seat from the shower chair to allow better access to
the underside of the seat around the opening or aperture area of the seat.
See section 2.4 for seat removal instructions.
3.2 Cleaning As Needed
Adjustable Tension Back Upholstery
1. Remove the plastic buckles and tri-glides from the back upholstery straps, paying attention to
how the straps are wound through each component as they are removed.
2. Remove the back upholstery from the back frame and machine wash with a mild detergent in
warm water on a normal or gentle wash cycle. Include the H-strap, pelvic and chest straps if they
were ordered with the chair and require cleaning.
3. Install the back upholstery and other positioning straps on the chair and allow to dry.
DO NOT
dry the back upholstery in a clothes dryer or damage to the upholstery may occur.
4. Install the back upholstery on the back frame and assemble all plastic buckles and tri-glides onto
the straps.
5. Adjust the back upholstery straps to the desired tension.
Frame, Armrests, Adjustable Footrests, and Other Components
1. Spray the frame and components with a multi-purpose disinfectant cleaner, and scrub with a soft
brush and rinse with water.
2. If necessary, spray the frame and components with a diluted (10 parts water to 1 part solution)
calcium/lime removal solution, scrub with a soft brush, and rinse thoroughly with water.
DO NOT
mix a calcium/lime remover with any other liquid or toxic fumes may result.
It is recommended that a qualified Raz dealer check over all fasteners and subassemblies on a
continuing basis or if there is cause for concern to the shower chair’s performance.
It is highly recommended that the rinsing of Raz Shower Chair components occur in a well drained area
with an industrial steam cleaner (e.g. Intersteam) or a commercial pressure washer.
Several times each year the chair and its components should be wiped down with a diluted calcium/lime
removal solution to reduce deposits, followed by a hot water rinse.
To minimize the risk of mildew buildup the entire chair should be wiped down with a soft dry cloth after
the final rinse and before storage or use.
