After several years of use, the chair can feel a bit stiff when adjusting the
seat height and the springs, so it is a good idea to lubricate the inner tube
with acid-free oil so it again functions optimally.

water and tightly wrung. Any incontinence cover should be
machine-washed on a gentle program.

help, add some pH-neutral washing-up liquid to the water.

washing-up liquid.
