CLEANING & DISINFECTING YOUR ROHO PRODUCTS CONTINUED
To clean the Mattress Overlays and Accessories:
Remove all linens and/or straps. Close valves and place in large
sink. ROHO, Inc. recommends using a liquid dish washing or laundry
detergent or other multipurpose detergents used for general cleaning.
Dilute following product label directions for surface cleaning. Use a soft plastic bristle
brush, sponge, or wash cloth to gently scrub all surfaces. Rinse with fresh water and air
dry. DO NOT expose to direct sunlight.
To disinfect Mattress Overlays and Accessories:
Repeat cleaning instructions above using a solution of 1 part household liquid bleach per
9 parts of warm water. Follow safety guidelines on bleach product label. Keep the clean
product wet with bleach solution for 10 minutes. Rinse thoroughly with fresh water and
air dry. NOTE: Most germicidal disinfectants are safe if used following the disinfectant
manufacturer’s dilution directions.
NOTE: Disinfection required between multiple end-user use.
DO NOT:
• machine wash or machine dry the mattress overlay or accessory.
• use abrasives such as steel wool or scouring pads.
• use caustic, automaic dishwasher detergents.
• use cleaning products containing petroleum or organic solvents including acetone,
toluene, Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK), naphtha, dry cleaning fluids, adhesive removers, etc.
• allow water or cleaning solution to enter the mattress overlay or accessory.
• expose mattress overlay or accessory to ultraviolet light or ozone gas cleaning methods.
• use oil-based lotions, lanolin, or phenolic-based disinfectants on your DRY FLOATATION
products or Thyroid Pillow as they may compromise the integrity of the material.
Note on Sterilization: Follow Cleaning and Disinfection guidelines above. ROHO products
are not packaged in a sterile condition, nor are they intended or required to be sterilized prior to
usage. High temperatures accelerate aging and may cause damage to the product assembly.
If institution protocol demands sterilization, open the valve(s) and use the lowest temperature
possible for the shortest time possible. Gas sterilization is preferable to steam autoclave, but
neither are recommended. In any process using pressure, ensure all valves are open to prevent
damage to the product. ROHO, Inc. highly discourages sterilization methods using temperatures
greater than 200° F (93° C) for DRY FLOATATION products or the Thyroid Pillow and 160° F (71°C)
for Air Floatation Mattress Overlays.
