5. Cleaning
•Use mild detergent with warm water to wipe down framework on at least a weekly basis more
frequently if required.
•Do not use an abrasive cleaner as this may damage the frame and nullify your warranty.
•It is recommended that the potty is thoroughly cleaned after every use, using an appropriate
cleaning agent.
Use of power/jet washing & industrial washing machines:
•If either of the above is used to clean equipment care must be taken since high-pressure water
can be penetrative.
•Care should be taken that frames are not placed too close to high-pressure water jets.
•After cleaning ensure any residual water is removed from the framework as it could cause
permanent rusting of the frame (leave frames open in a warm environment for several hours to
ensure all internal moisture evaporates).
•We cannot offer advice on industrial washing machines with regards to specific machine settings,
as these will be dependant on the manufacturer’s instructions.

flaking or cracking paint. Any undue signs of damage should be noted and reported to the

the product until advice has been sought from the supplier.
