Heavy soilage
Where the mattress is badly soiled, we recommend cleaning
with a dilute cleaning solution at 80 °C in the washing
machine.
Large spillages of blood should be absorbed and
removed with paper towels first, followed by as
above.
1. Clean up all spillages of bodily fluids i.e. blood, urine,
faeces, sputum, wound exudater and all other bodily
secretions as soon as possible using a 1% Chlorine
Solution (10,000 ppm).
2. Rinse with clean water using a single use nonabrasive
cloth.
3. Dry the cover thoroughly.
IMPORTANT!
Polyurethane coated fabrics can absorb liquids for
short periods causing a temporary change to the
polyurethane characteristics. The mattress cover
swells temporarily and is more vulnerable to
physical damage for a period after it is completely
surface dried, by which time it will revert to its
previous state.
