✔ ✔
Protect surrounding surfaces and clothing from

When using strong cleaning agents, such as bleach or alcohol, it is advisable to first test them in an incon­spicuous area to be certain they will not damage the upholstery, plastic or metal surfaces of the Simplicity Chair. (Results may vary under actual conditions.)
CAUTION
Cleaning agents, other than household bleach
or rubbing alcohol, may contain harsh or
unknown solvents. Also, these other cleaning
agents are subject to formula changes made
by the manufacturer without notice.

High-Level Disinfection
The Simplicity Chair's upholstery material is formulated to withstand high-level disinfection, which is required in medical/dental applications. Disinfectant products that contain sodium hypochlorite (household bleach) can be used full strength or with gluteraldehydes.
Intermediate-Level Disinfection
This level of disinfection is achieved by applying either rubbing alcohol or a solution comprised of one part household bleach (sodium hypochlorite) and nine parts water. Because sodium hypochlorite is easier to apply, its use is preferred over rubbing alcohol. To achieve intermediate-level disinfection, rubbing alcohol must remain puddled on the upholstery's surface until evaporation is complete.
Upholstery
The Simplicity Chair's upholstery is comprised of a sulfide stain, oil and mildew resistant material which provides outstanding protection in difficult medical and health care environments. This material contains antibacterial/antimicrobial agents that are effective against some of the following microorganisms:
