9. Cleaning and recycling
9.1 Cleaning
In order to lengthen the life of your wheelchair, it is suggested that you clean the
wheelchair periodically (if not daily), especially after it is used in the rain or snow. We
suggest that you don’t use your wheelchair in the rain or snow. If you are traveling and
get caught in the rain, we suggest you try to find shelter while waiting it out. If you
can’t find shelter, proceed to your destination.
9.1.1 Frame
Wipe the frame with a damp cloth.
9.1.2 Upholstery
When cleaning the upholstery, use warm water and a mild soap.
Upholstery cleaner/foam can also be used, but avoid other cleaning solvents.
9.2 Post-consumer recycling
A post-consumer recycling plan should follow the Environmental Protection
Administration’s regulations. The items listed below are for reference only as local laws
and regulations may vary.
There are many organizations in many countries/regions you can find on the
Internet that will accept used goods for charity. Please search the Internet to help
less fortunate individuals and protect our planet for future generations. If you do
not have access to the world wide web please use your local phone directory, ask
for operator assistance or go to your local government center for more
information. Earth Day is every day.
Check with your local recycling center on where and how to recycle your
wheelchair as this information varies from region to region.
