MAINTENANCE & CLEANING
11

1. Clean the seat and backrest thoroughly with a damp cloth and warm soapy water after each use.
2. Use a damp cloth to wipe clean the frame parts and armrests also.
3. For heavier stains a mild diluted solution may be used. A solution of 0.1% Sodium Hypochlorite is
recommended but ensure the seat/backrest is rinsed thoroughly with clean water to ensure full
removal of the solution. It should have no adverse reaction to the material. Over a long period of
time some fading may occur, but this will have no effect on product longevity and integrity.
4. Please ensure you thoroughly dry the chair after each use.
5. Harsh cleaning liquids, chemicals or abrasives such as a wire brush should not be used as these
may damage the surface finish of the chair.
6. Do NOT clean with phenols, acids or bleach.
7. Disinfect the round commode bowl after each use.
8. Wheels can be cleaned using a damp brush with soft bristles.
9. Check that any castors run free and rotate easily. Remove any build up of hair, fluff, dust etc.
lubricate if necessary with a very light mineral based grease.
