CLEANING & DISINFECTING YOUR ROHO PRODUCTS
Cleaning and disinfecting are two separate processes. Cleaning must precede disinfection.
To clean the cover:
(first remove from support surface) Machine wash, gentle cycle,
in cold water (30˚C) with a mild detergent. May also wipe clean with neutral detergent and
water. Rinse thoroughly. Tumble dry low. DO NOT DRY CLEAN.
To disinfect the cover:
Use a dilution of one part household bleach to ten parts water. Quaternary type disinfectants
may also be used in concentrations recommended by the manufacturer. Rinse thoroughly.
Note: The cover can be occasionally machine washed in hot water (60˚C) for disinfection.
However, ROHO, Inc. recommends against repeated washings at high temperatures, as this
can accelerate degradation of the cover. Tumble dry low.
