Quaternary / Isopropyl disinfectants are recommended for urethane. Phenolics should be avoided on
urethane.
Disinfectants, all products: All fabrics may be cleaned with a 1:10 dilution of household bleaches containing
5.25% sodium hypochlorite as recommended by the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta, Georgia. There is
no harmful effect on the fabric. Disinfectants applied at full concentration or in highly concentrated solutions
will decrease the useful life of fabric. Iodophor type disinfectants used on fabrics may result in staining.
Soils or Stains: Use neutral soapsuds and lukewarm water. Do not use harsh cleansers, solvents or detergents.
Hard-To -Clean Spots: Use standard household / vinyl cleansers and a soft bristle brush on troublesome spots
or stains. Presoak heavy, dried-on soil.
Laundering Vinyl-laminated or Rubber-coated fabric is not recommended. Laundering may substantially
decrease the useful life of the fabric.
Laundering Polyurethane-coated fabric: Machine wash with detergent up to 120°F. Some surface wrinkling
may occur; this wrinkling has no adverse effect on the fabric properties. Hang or tumble dry thoroughly at
140°F before storage.

washing of stretcher is not recommended and can void warranty.
