cleaning, wipe with a clean cloth soaked in detergent solution and wring out. Depending
on the detergent manufacturer’s instructions the solution may be heated.
Wipe all surfaces of the equipment and the cloth should be re-immersed periodically and
the detergent changed frequently. The detergent should be rinsed or wiped off using a
clean cloth immersed in clean water and wrung out.
To disinfect make sure the equipment has been cleaned and dried and then wipe over with
a clean cloth and a compatible liquid disinfectant. After disinfecting clean with clean water
and dry.
When using detergent or disinfectants then please refer to manufacturers’ instructions and
if unsure then consult your local Infection Control Specialist for advice.
