Sanitization

It’s important to sanitize all types of mobility equipment to maintain hygiene and prevent the spread of germs. Some of the products that we can sanitize include wheelchairs, scooters, power chairs, lift chairs that can be wiped down, and hospital beds.

Sanitization should not ruin, rust, or fade your equipment if it is done properly. The type of equipment and materials used for sanitization can affect the outcome, so it’s important to use appropriate cleaning solutions and techniques recommended by the manufacturer.

It depends on the type of sanitization being done. For example, steam sanitization uses high-temperature water vapor to kill bacteria and viruses, while disinfectant wipes typically use a solution of chemicals, such as quaternary ammonium compounds, to disinfect surfaces. The specific chemicals used can vary based on the type of sanitization and the equipment being cleaned.

It is recommended to sanitize your equipment after each use or at least once a day, especially during times when there is an increased risk of infection, such as during a pandemic. However, the frequency of sanitization may depend on the level of use and the specific circumstances, so it is always best to follow the manufacturer’s guidelines or consult with a healthcare professional for personalized recommendations.
