12 Cleaning & Care
Information
How to Maintain
When cleaning we recommend that you
use only warm water and a non-abrasive
detergent. Never use organic solvents
or dry cleaning fluids.
Upholstery and fabrics
1. The upholstery and fabrics can be cleaned
by hand whilst in place. When cleaning we
recommend that you use only warm water
and a nonabrasive detergent.
2. The best cleaning method is a 'wipe
& dry' technique.
3. Staining should be removed as quickly as
possible with absorbent cloth, towels
or a sponge. Routine soap and warm water
sponging is effective for ordinary soiling and
minor spills. Be careful not to over
wet the fabric as this will cause the staining
to spread.
4 Antiseptic cleaning agents can be used
on more stubborn stains. These may require
a safe solvent such as Isopropyl Alcohol or
Mineral Spirit. A half cup of household bleach
to 5 litres of water can also be used as a
useful disinfectant.
5. The pelvic and trunk harnesses can be
machine washed at 40 Deg C. Make sure
all bolts and fasteners are removed first as
they may cause damage to your washing
machine. Store these in a safe place and out
of reach from children.
6 Always ensure the product is dry
before use.
Metal and plastic components
1. Soap and water or antibacterial spray can
be used for daily cleaning.
2. For deep cleaning a low pressure steam
cleaner can be used.
3. Do not use solvents to clean plastic or
metal components.
4. Make sure the product is dry before use.
