The product is to be cleaned with hot water or a mild soapy cleaning agent.

▶ Do not use an autoclave or other type of steam cleaner.

▶ Avoid aggressive cleaning agents containing acids

▶ Never spray the product directly with a high pressure cleaner.

▶ Avoid use of abrasive, corrosive or chlorine-based cleaning or disinfecting products.

▶ To remove limescale marks on the aluminum parts, use 30% household vinegar to 70% water and afterwards wipe the parts with a cloth wrung out in clean water. In countries with relatively high levels of lime in the water supply, it may be necessary to remove lime scale deposits from the aluminum parts using a de-scaling agent such as acetic acid. Test this first on an area that is not visible when the product is in use.

▶ Maintenance

Remove dust from the wall mount of the sideways adjustable support arm once a month. Wipe with lubricant.

Check whether the connection part of the product is loose, whether there are cracks on the guide rail, whether the wall track notch is severely worn, etc. Once these situations occur, you should stop using it and contact a professional to evaluate and repair it in time.

When choosing bathing stools and other aids for the elderly, several key factors need to be considered to ensure safety and comfort. Here are some suggestions:

1. Safety

Non-Slip Design: Make sure the surface of the bathing stool has non-slip material to prevent sliding and falls.

Sturdiness: Choose a sturdy and stable bathing stool, preferably with anti-slip rubber feet to prevent slipping.

Weight Capacity: Ensure that the weight capacity of the bathing stool can support the user's weight to prevent accidents.

2. Comfort

Height Adjustable: It's best to choose a height-adjustable bathing stool so it can be adjusted according to the user's height and needs.

Comfortable Seat Cushion: Select a soft and comfortable seat cushion to increase comfort during use.

Armrests: Some bathing stools come with armrests, which provide additional support for the elderly when standing up and sitting down.

3. Convenience

Easy to Clean: Choose a material that is easy to clean, such as plastic or stainless steel, to avoid mold and bacteria buildup.

Lightweight and Portable: If frequent moving or multi-functionality is needed, consider a lightweight and foldable design for easy storage and transport.

4. Adjustability and Multi-functionality

Removable Seat Cushions or Armrests: This allows for adjustments or cleaning based on the user's needs.

Bathtub Fixtures: Some bathing stools come with bathtub fixtures to securely attach to the edge of the tub.

5. Seek Professional Advice

Consult with a Doctor or Caregiver: If there is specific health or physical issues, it's best to consult with a doctor or caregiver for customized advice.

Other Considerations

Brand and Quality: Choose reputable brands and manufacturers to ensure the product meets safety standards.

User Manual: Before purchasing and using, carefully read the user manual to ensure correct installation and usage.

Lastly, it's important to choose bathing stools and aids based on the individual needs and health conditions of the elderly person. It's a good idea to have the elderly person try sitting on it before purchase to see if it's suitable and comfortable.
