IMPORTANT In cases of gross contamination the mattress cover should be cleaned first with detergent and water then with a
diluted solution of 1% Hypo Chlorite (10,000ppm). Rinse well with clean water and a damp single use non-abrasive cloth. Ensure
adequate ventilation.
3.3 Drying
Disposable gloves and aprons should be worn. If splashing could occur eye/face protection should also be worn. On removal of
gloves, hands should be washed. Ensure mattress cover is thoroughly dried before remaking the bed. Damp humid environments
have been shown to lead to the continuation of bacterial growth
Within the community setting, it may be desirable to launder the cover after removable from the foam core. In such cases the
cover should be laundered at no more than 80 degrees C. To avoid shrinkage of the cover only tumble dry on a low heat setting not
exceeding 40 degrees C and not for longer than 10 minutes. Covers must be thoroughly dried before re-fitting to the mattress.
3.4 Inspection
WARNING Inspect the inner and outer surfaces of covers and their zip fasteners regularly for signs of damage. If the cover is
stained, soiled or torn, the foam core should be examined. Damaged/soiled covers and mattresses should be reported to the ward/
department manager. If the core of the mattress is wet or badly stained, the mattress should be withdrawn from service. The Company
suggests that bed frame should also be cleaned in between each change of patient.
