Cleaning and Care Instructions

To maintain the appearance and condition of the healthcare vinyl:

• Wipe the surface using a soft cloth and warm, mildly soapy water.
• Use mild soap or soap flakes for routine cleaning.
• Remove any soap residue with clean, cold water.
• Dry the surface using a clean, soft cloth.
• For ingrained dirt, gently clean using a soft brush.
• Clean spills promptly to minimise the risk of permanent staining.

Avoid: Bleach, solvents, abrasive cleaners, synthetic detergents, wax polishes, aerosol sprays and aggressive chemical cleaning products, as these may damage the vinyl surface.

Some substances, including ballpoint pen ink, food colourings and lipstick, may cause permanent staining if not removed promptly.
