We recommend using a haz-tab/chlor-clean tablet (predetermined bleach strength) added to warm water. This solution is safe to use and store.
The covers have been tested with strengths up to 5% of a bleach solution, which converts to 50,000ppm so the strength level is well within its specification quality.
After testing, we also recommend that microfibre cloths give the best cleaning results as the longer thicker fibres really get into the grain of the fabric to give a thorough clean.
This material is also safe to be cleaned using Clinell wipes.
General Guidance:
-
Wipe clean routinely with a microfiber cloth lightly dampened with cold water only and then dry with a clean absorbent cloth.
-
Soak up spillages as soon as possible with an absorbent dry cloth to prevent staining.
-
If soiling has accumulated, use a mild proprietary cleaner (non-alkaline).
-
Take care to remove all soap residues and dry with a clean absorbent cloth.
-
Remove body fluids and extreme soiling immediately (within 15 minutes) with cold water, then apply approved infection control protocol: Haz Tabs, Chlor Clean or Shield Plus etc.
-
As the concentration of bleach can vary greatly among proprietary brands, we recommend these be avoided but in extreme circumstances, a 5,000ppm chlorine bleach solution may be used.
-
Remove product residues and then dry with a clean absorbent cloth.
-
Do not tumble dry.
-
Do not dry clean.
-
Do not immerse in water.
-
Do not apply solvents, alcohol or any other chemical cleaners.
-
Do not steam clean.
-
Note, dyes and pigments from indigo jeans, ball point and felt tip pens may permanently stain.
