Written by PHS Medical | May 7, 2020 6:01:58 PM

Day in and day out, your tables and equipment will endure a beating from consistent use. To sustain such use, your equipment must remain in the best possible condition. Because you have made a valuable investment for your practice, it is important to do everything possible to ensure a long and productive life for your purchase. 

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. By properly taking care of your table's upholstery you can extend the life of your equipment and business.

After Each Patient...

Clean your table with a mild cleaning solution. 

• Solutions of 10% mild household liquid dish soap and warm water work best. This ensures no over use of chemicals and will keep upholstery colors vibrant
• After cleaning with solution, rinse with clean water and thoroughly dry

For Stains...

• Make a solution of Fantastik® and water OR Formula 409® and water [1:1 ratio]
• Use a water dampened cloth, rub and dab gently until stain lifts
Rinse with clean water and dampened cloth 

Difficult Stains? 

• Dampen a soft [white] cloth with a solution of household bleach and water [10% bleach/ 90% water]
• Rub gently and rinse with a water dampened cloth until bleach concentration is gone

Try a Disinfecting Wipe

• An easy alternative to mixing solutions is the disinfectant wipe called Protex Ultra Disinfectant WipesMany Pivotal Health customers use these wipes.

What NOT to Use

  • Using improper cleaning agents can crack, dry out and destroy your vinyl.
  • Using cleaning agents other than those recommended above will VOID your warranty.
  • Do not use any cleaning agents that contain alcohol, harsh chemicals or abrasives.

    Please call our service department if you have questions on a cleaning agent before using it.
