3. Maintenance / Care

The product does not require any special maintenance. It can be washed in a washing machine at
60° C and is suitable for low dryer temperatures (45 – 50° C). When using non-standard washing
agents, bleaching agents, softener or other chemical washing additives, the functional properties of
the product can strongly degrade. The robust material can be disinfected with the usual wipe
disinfectants. Check the compatibility before use where required on the basis of the disinfectant's
instructions. We recommend the use of alcohol- and aldehyde-free agents, e.g. Trionic®. Before
