14. Cleaning and disinfection
The nursing home bed must be cleaned and disinfected at regular intervals (e.g. as specified
in the hygiene plan), as circumstances dictate (e.g. soiling after a particular episode) or at
least before each change of resident as per the hygiene plan.
Danger!
If electrical components come into contact with fluids, this can significantly increase
the risk of electric shock or fire. This means you must disconnect the bed from the
power supply prior to cleaning/disinfection.
Attention!
Damaged surfaces should be repaired/replaced immediately as they cannot be
cleaned/disinfected properly and allow fluids to penetrate. This creates a risk of
infection and damage to the bed.
Please note!
The nursing home bed may not be cleaned/disinfected in automatic washing units
or with spray water. Only wipe cleaning/wipe disinfection is permitted.
Please note!
If you are unsure, check first whether the cleaning agent/disinfectant is suitable for
the relevant surface by applying some to an area out of sight.
Please note!
Following cleaning/disinfection, it is important to ensure things are properly neu-
tralized and there is no moisture or cleaning agent residue on any surfaces.
14.1 Cleaning
The surfaces of wissner-bosserhoff furniture products comply with the requirements of EN
12720 for the surfaces of furniture in terms of resistance to chemicals and are therefore
highly resilient to the normal kinds of stress they might typically encounter.
It is essential, however, not to use any cleaning products or cleaning agents that contain cor-
rosive or abrasive ingredients and act like a scouring agent.
Only all-purpose, weakly alkaline cleaning products (that create soap suds), with tensides or
phosphates as the active cleaning ingredient, should be used. Dose the all-purpose cleaner in
accordance with the specifications of the cleaning agent manufacturer.
