CARING FOR YOUR SLING
4.1
WASHING YOUR SLING
4.1.1
For general cleaning where, cross infection is not an issue, and to maximise the life of your
sling, wash gently at 40°C. Use a mild soap solution or a non-biological detergent without
bleaching additives. Do not add bleach or stain removers as they will fade and weaken the
fabric.
4.1.2
Air dry, cabinet dry or tumble dry on a cool cycle (below 60°C). Do not tumble dry on a hot
setting; do not place on hot pipes or heaters; keep away from flames.
4.1.3
Do not iron your slings.
4.2
DECONTAMINATION AND INFECTION CONTROL
4.2.1 For good hygiene, we recommend that slings are not shared. If you need to hoist more
than one person, it is strongly recommended that each person is allocated their own sling.
4.2.2 DOH guidance HSG95/18 recommends washing at 71°C for not less than 3 minutes plus 8
minutes for mixing to achieve decontamination.
Lower wash temperature will increase the life of the slings.
