CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS FOR HARD MANUFACTURING
CRIBS, BEDS & MATTRESSES
Any type of cleaner containing ammonia, alcohol, bleach or any other chemical that is
abrasive should never be used on our cribs or beds for any reason.
We suggest the use of a cleaner such as one that contains Quaternary Ammonium
Chloride (Quats). Quats will both clean the crib or bed as well as disinfect it without
oxidizing the epoxy coating.
MATTRESSES
HARD Manufacturing recommends the cribs and beds be washed by hand with a
non-abrasive cleaner of your facility’s choice and then thoroughly dried with a soft cloth or
towel. Our equipment should never be placed in a machine for cleaning or subject to steam
guns or pressure washers of any kind. Do not allow the crib or bed to air dry as pools of
water left on the mattress pan surface or near bolt holes may eventually lead to premature
corrosion.
CRIBS OR BEDS
Mattresses should always be allowed to dry in a fl at position, never in an upright position.
Failure to keep the mattress fl at during the drying process could lead to the foam inside the
cover to shift, creating permanent damage/lumps in the mattress.
Mattresses should never be put back on the crib if the cover is not thoroughly dry.
Failure to do so may cause premature corrosion on the pan mattress surface.
VINYL CURTAINS
Please note failure to follow the recommended cleaning guidelines stated by
HARD Manufacturing can cause permanent damage to the crib/bed and/or mattress
which will not be covered under warranty.
Vinyl curtains and the vinyl top/ceiling covers on Springfi eld Cribs, Critical Care II Cribs
and Monroe Beds can be cleaned with a non-caustic, non-alkaline emulsifi ed detergent to
remove oil, dirt, grease, etc. The detergent should be sprayed on or applied with a rag and
immediately wiped off . Be sure to dilute the detergent as per the manufacturer’s instructions
prior to use.
