14.4 Cleaning
Regular care and maintenance will prevent unnecessary wear and damage to
your wheelchair. The following is general advice recommended by Karma.
For severe soiling of the upholstery or damage to the surface finish, contact
Karma or your local authorized supplier for information.
14.4.1 Upholstery, cloth / air mesh
For normal cleaning, wash the upholstery with hand warm water and a mild
nonabrasive soap. Use a soft cloth or brush. Before the surface dries, wipe off
any water/soap residues with a clean, dry cloth. This procedure may be
repeated to remove stubborn dirt or stains.
If necessary, the cover may be removed before cleaning. See also the
washing instructions on the label of the upholstery materials.
14.4.2 Metal surfaces
For normal cleaning it is best to use a soft cloth/sponge, hand warm water and
a mild detergent. Wipe down carefully with a cloth and water, and dry off.
Remove scuff marks from semi-matt surfaces with soft wax (follow
manufacturer’s instructions).
Remove scuff marks and scratches from shiny surfaces using car polish,
either liquid or paste. After polishing, apply soft car wax to restore the original
surface gloss.
14.4.3 Plastic covers
For normal cleaning, wash plastic surfaces with a soft cloth, mild detergent
and hand warm water. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use
solvents or abrasive kitchen cleaners.
Never use aggressive chemical cleaner or cleaning fluids. These will
damage the surface and structure of the material.
Never use a sponge with a hard surface. This will damage the surface and
structure of the material.
