MAINTENANCE OF THE CUSTOM HOME CHAIR
To
make sure that the Custom Home Chair remains satisfactory it is necessary to carry out
simple maintenance.
3.1. CLEANING THE CUSTOM HOME CHAIR
During
•
use the Custom Home Chair will require cleaning. This can be done by simply
applying a warm damp cloth with a mild detergent to the inside surface of the seat to
remove any soiling and towel dry.

The cover
MUST
be removed prior to any
cleaning of the inner customized foam moulding.
If
•
the Chair remains slightly damp simply leave for a short period at room temperature
to dry.
The
•
customised foam moulding is manufactured from an open cell foam and is sealed
in an air permeable but waterproof plastic liner. This liner must not be removed under
any circumstances or the foam will very quickly become contaminated and unsuitable
for use.
If
•
this plastic liner is damaged or worn out you will need to contact
Specialised
Orthotic Services
(see contact details on the back of this booklet) directly.

clean the outside of the seat or the frame simply wipe down with a warm damp
cloth (a mild detergent may be used) and wipe dry.

usage, for cleaning of removable cover please refer to wash label on the inside of the
padded cover.

remove the cover simply undo the zips at the rear of the cover (for Foam Cast refer
to section 3.3), taking care to guide any straps etc. through the cover before removing.
Make

a note of how the cover came off so you understand how it needs to be refitted.
When

placing the cover back on the seat after cleaning, please note that the inner
label should be positioned at the top of the seat to ensure correct alignment of the
straps and general fit into the Custom Home Chair.
