Startex™ is highly resistant to wide array of disinfectants.
Wiping of the smooth surface of the Startex™ can be done with
the following commonly used RTU (Ready to Use) products:
STARTEX™ COMPATIBLE DISINFECTING WIPES
14
1. Remove all gross contamination from surface i.e. urine, feces, blood with absorbent material i.e. cloth, paper towels
2. Ensure area is clean by wiping the surface with one of the approved RTU (Ready-To-Use) cleaning agents
3. Disinfect; liberally wipe the surface again with RTU wipes (avoid pooling of the disinfectant)
4. Wipe dry after recommended dwell time (1-3 minutes – refer to each mfg. instructions)
5. No matter what disinfectant chemistry is used, it is best practice to wipe the surface with a damp cloth and mild soap and finally a damp cloth (with liberal amounts of water)
▪ Startex™ may be easily washed in a washing machine with neutral detergent (Tide, Persil) in warm water (60°C or 140°F)
▪ Air drying is the method of choice, but cold air drying machine cycle is also safe for the fabric
