  • Do not allow the disinfectant to dry on the surface.

CLEANING AND DISINFECTION OF CASCO NYLON MATTRESS COVERS

  • Do not Launder. To remove ordinary stains or dirt, wipe fabric clean with soapsuds and lukewarm water. Rinse with water and allow it to dry.
  • To remove hard to clean spots, spot clean using a brush with a non-abrasive household cleanser. DO NOT, use harsh cleaners and solvents.
  • Phenolic-based disinfectants and diluted solutions od sodium hypochlorite (bleach) or hydrogen peroxide disinfectants (in a concentration level up to 7.5%) can be used on the Casco nylon cover. All commercial use of these disinfectants must be performed per the solution manufacturer’s instructions. Test solutions on less visible area for colorfastness prior to cleaning. Iodine based disinfectants are not recommended as solutions for cleaning cover fabric due to potential staining of contacted surfaces.
  • Make sure to rinse thoroughly with water after using any cleansers to completely remove any remaining chemicals from the fabric surface.
  • NOTE, continuous use of cleaners and disinfectants will eventually degrade fabric. Avoid use of cleanses/disinfectants when not necessary.
