Cleaning and Maintenance
It is recommended that your shower chair is serviced annually by your Showerbuddy Dealer or an author-
ised, competent service agent. In addition:
1. Regularly inspect all parts of the chair for defects. Any defective part should be attended to promptly by
an authorised service agent.
2. Clean the seat using a damp cloth and a mild cleanser. Always read the manufacturers instructions prior
to applying the cleanser. When using Sodium Hypochlorite (Bleach) on the seat, a solution of 0.1% Sodium
Hypochlorite should have no adverse effects on the cleaning of chairs. However, when using a solution of
1.0%, care should be taken to rinse the chairs thoroughly with clean water after application. Over a period
of time bleaching may occur, but the integrity of the product will remain unaffected.
3. Dry off the shower chair after use.
4. Do not oil or grease any parts.
5. Keep the castors free from lime scale, soap residue and hair by cleaning after use in the shower.
Caring for stainless steel.
Stainless steel has excellent corrosion resistance, but it is not stain or rust proof. Regular maintenance will
keep stainless steel clean and free of contaminants. In most applications stainless steel will not rust or stain
even after many years of service, but when used in certain environments such as concentrated chlorine or
other corrosive elements stainless steel requires proper care and maintenance. Do not leave stainless in
contact with iron, steel or other metals.
1. Clean stainless steel frequently with soap and water. Any cleaner safe for glass is usually safe for
stainless steel; apply with a cotton cloth.
2. Use a coating such as a good wax to help safeguard the stainless steel.
3. Remove discolouration or rust spots as soon as possible with a brass, silver or chrome cleaner. Irrevers-
ible pitting will develop under rust that remains on stainless steel for any period of time. Apply a mild
cleaner such as Ajax or an equivalent with a wet cotton cloth. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry. Do not use
abrasives such as sandpaper or steel wool on stainless steel.
4. Do not clean with mineral acids or bleaches.
5. Do not store near any chlorine product.
