MATTRESS CLEANING

These instructions are intended to provide recommended cleaning methods for stretcher mattresses.
RECOMMENDED CLEANING METHOD
• Hand-wash all surfaces of the mattress with warm water and mild detergent cleaner.
• Dry thoroughly.
• Apply disinfectant solution either by spray, solution or pre-impregnated wipes (do not soak mattress).
• Clean per hospital protocol for mattresses.
• Wipe up excess disinfectant.
• Rinse with clean water.
• Allow surface to dry.

RECOMMENDED DISINFECTANTS

IMPORTANT: DILUTE ALL DISINFECTANTS IN ACCORDANCE WITH MANUFACTURER'S DIRECTIONS
When used in concentrations recommended by the manufacturer, diluted bleach, diluted phenolic, or diluted quaternary
germicidal disinfectants are recommended. Chlorine Bleach, typically 5.25% Sodium Hypochlorite, should be used at
a dilution ratio of 1 part bleach to 10 parts water.
RINSE OFF CORROSIVE CLEANERS
These products are NOT considered mild detergents. They are corrosive in nature and may cause damage to your
stretcher mattress if used improperly. Mattresses must be rinsed with clean water and dried thoroughly after using
corrosives such as quaternary, phenolic, or chlorine bleach. Failure to properly rinse and dry the mattress leaves a
corrosive residue on the surface, likely causing premature corrosion.
Iodophor type disinfectants are not recommended for use because staining may result.
The following table lists the recommended cleaner types for each mattress cover material (see definitions below):
