12 Cleaning & Care
Information
How to Maintain
When cleaning we recommend that you
use only warm water and a non-abrasive
detergent. Never use organic solvents
or dry cleaning fluids.
Upholstery and fabrics
1. The upholstery and fabrics can be
removed and machine washed at 40°C and
tumble dried on a low setting.
Please remove the foam from the
following covers before washing:
Headrest
Shoulder support
Backrest cushion
Seat base cushion
All other soft upholstery can be placed
into the washing machine intact, after
removing bolts and fastenings.
2. They can also be cleaned by hand whilst
in place. When cleaning we recommend
that you use only warm water and a non-
abrasive detergent. Microfibre cloth is good
for cleaning the fabric.
3. Staining should be removed as quickly
as possible with absorbent cloth, towels or
a sponge. Routine soap and warm water
sponging is effective for ordinary soiling
and minor spills. Be careful not to over wet
the fabric as this will cause the staining
to spread.
4 Antiseptic cleaning agents can be used
on more stubborn stains. These may
require a safe solvent such as Isopropyl
Alcohol or Mineral Spirit. A half cup of
household bleach to 5 litres of water can
also be used as a useful disinfectant.
5. The pelvic and trunk harnesses can be
machine washed at 40 Deg C. Make sure
all bolts and fasteners are removed first as
they may cause damage to your washing
machine. Store these in a safe place and
out of reach from children.
6 Always ensure the product is dry
before use.
Metal and plastic components
1. Soap and water or antibacterial spray
can be used for daily cleaning.
2. For deep cleaning a low pressure steam
cleaner can be used.
3. Do not use solvents to clean plastic or
metal components.
4. Make sure the product is dry before use.
