2. Rinse the cover with clean water using a single use nonabrasive
cloth.
3. Dry the cover thoroughly.
Heavy soilage
Where the mattress is badly soiled, we recommend cleaning with a
dilute cleaning solution at 176 °F / 80 °C in the washing machine.
Large spillages of blood should be absorbed and removed
with paper towels first, followed by:
1. Clean up all spillages of bodily fluids i.e. blood, urine, faeces,
sputum, wound exudater and all other bodily secretions as soon
as possible using a 1% Chlorine Solution (10,000 ppm).

IMPORTANT!
Polyurethane coated fabrics can absorb liquids for short
periods causing a temporary change to the polyurethane
characteristics. The mattress cover swells temporarily
and is more vulnerable to physical damage for a period
after it is completely surface dried, by which time it will
revert to its previous state.
3. Dry the cover thoroughly.
