14.4 Cleaning and your wheelchair

The wheelchair should be wiped over once per week with
a slightly damp, not wet, cloth and any fluff or dust that has
accumulated around the motors should be blown or dusted
away.
CAUTION!
• Make sure that you dry all parts of your wheelchair if it
becomes wet or damp after cleaning or if it is used in a
wet or damp atmosphere.
WARNING!
• It is important that should the wheelchair be used by more
than one person it is cleaned thoroughly to ensure there is
no cross infection
14.4.1 Cleaning and inspection of your seating
WARNING!
• Tears, dents, wearing or slackening of upholstery
particularly near to metal could result in poor posture or
lower levels of comfort and pressure relief.
Cleaning instructions for seating:
You can wash all parts of the covers with a gentle-wash
detergent at 40°C. You can spin-dry the covers, but do not
dry them in a dryer. You can remove all parts of the covers
independently of each other and wash them separately. Take
out the foam inlays prior to washing and close the Velcro
fasteners!
Where upholstery cannot be removed, clean regularly to
prevent build up or soiling. Clean with a damp soapy cloth
however disinfectants may be used in dilution as specified by
their manufacturer. Ensure surfaces are rinsed well with clean
water and dried thoroughly.
Cleaning instructions for Jay/Jay Comfort seating:
Clean regularly to prevent build up or soiling. Clean with a
damp soapy cloth and rinse well with clean water. Dry the
surface thoroughly. A soft brush with soapy water may be
used to remove stubborn dirt. Ensure surfaces are then rinsed
and dried.
Some chemical colourings, e.g. ball point pen, food colourings
or clothes dyes should be removed immediately to prevent
long term staining.
Hygiene measures when being re-used:
Prior to the wheelchair being re-used, it must be carefully
prepared. All surfaces which come into contact with the user
must be treated with a disinfection spray.
To do this, you must use a suitable disinfectant for rapid
alcohol-based disinfection of medical products and medical
devices.
Please take into account the manufacturer's instructions for
the disinfectant you are using.

• Disinfectants may be used in dilution as specified by their
manufacturer.
• Ensure surfaces are rinsed with clean water and dried

Cleaning instructions for all and Recaro
CAUTION!
• You should remove stains on your seat as soon as
possible.
• After a long period of use, you should clean the cover of
your seat with a standard commercially available dry foam
cleaning agent.
• You should always clean the whole surface and not just
individual spots in order to avoid unattractive edges. The
longer you wait the more difficult it will be to remove them.
• Avoid powerful rubbing with aqueous solutions. This will
roughen up cover fabric.
• Dirt stains (eg. beer, blood, cola, red wine etc) are best
removed with the dry foam cleaning agents or with a mild-
action detergent.
• Please follow the respective instructions for use when
treating the covers.
• The covers should be allowed to dry for at least 48 hours
after cleaning with foam cleaning agents.
• Grease stains (eg. ballpoint pen, lipstick, chewing gum
etc). Use a proprietary stain remover. Carefully rub the
soiled location on the surface only with a clean cloth
impregnated with the stain remover.
• Use only a very small quantity of stain remover.
• Test a small inconspicuous area first.
• The upholstery material must not be saturated, since the
stain remover might then attack it and destroy it.
• Do not use a hose or a pressure washer to clean your
chair.
WARNING!
• Always read the label on any commercial or domestic
cleaning substances.
• Always follow the instructions carefully.
