Routine Cleaning
Remove the cover and quilt and inate the Handy Pillow Lift. Sponge clean with a non abrasive
proprietary liquid cleaner or disinfectant and dry thoroughly. Do not dry using hot air. The cover
can be machine washed up to 40°C; low heat tumble dried and medium heat ironed. Do Not dry clean or
use bleach. Restrict the quilt washing temperature to 40°C for maximum product life.
Disinfecting
The quilt and cover should be removed and the Handy Pillow Lift be fully inated. The Handy Pillow Lift
should be pre-cleaned by washing with detergent and water and then disinfected
of household liquid bleach and water (1 part bleach to 10 parts cold water). Leave the solution
on the Handy Pillow Lift for approximately 10 minutes before thoroughly rinsing off with clean cold
water. Do not dry using hot air.
The quilt can be thermal disinfected at 71ºC for 3 minutes, followed by tumble drying.
NOTE: ‘Normal ‘ setting tumble dry temperatures (70ºC) can reach 80ºC and therefore, a ‘Low‘
temperature (40ºC) setting should be used. If thermal disinfection of the quilt at 71ºC for 3 minutes
is repeatedly carried out, degradation of the quilt’s performance can occur.
