Washing and Disinfection
1. Remove all loose and removable covers and
wash these in a washing machine following
the washing instructions for each article.
2. Spray the wheelchair with detergent, for exam-
ple a car-cleaning agent with wax, and leave
on to work.
3. Rinse the wheelchair with a high-pressure clean-
ing or ordinary jet of water depending on
how dirty the chair is. Do not aim the jet towards
bearings and draining holes. If the wheel
chair is washed in a machine the water must not be
hotter than 60 degrees.
4. Spray the chair with alcohol for disinfection.
5. Leave the chair to dry in a drying cabinet.
Remove parts where water has collected for
example in end tubes, ferrules etc. If the chair has
been washed in a machine, blow-drying
with compressed air is recommended.
