much water).
• Let product dry according to disinfectant manufacturer's recommendations to
ensure maximum efficiency.
• If necessary, rinse according to the disinfectant product manufacturer's
recommendations.
• Change wipes when cleaning the least contaminated areas to areas of
medium or to highly contaminated areas.

• Always dry the bed thoroughly after it has been cleaned.
Cleaning tough stains
Quickly wipe away any traces of pharmaceutical solutions or other staining
products in order to avoid permanent damage to the surface.
To remove tough stains, use standard household cleaners and a soft bristle brush.
To loosen heavy, dried-on soil or excreta, you may first need to saturate the spot.
