X-Static Cleaning Guide

General Cleaning Recommendation:

• Load Fabric into washer (Do Not Overload).

• Use the usual hospital protocol (rinse, drain, etc.), for washing cubicles and note maximum temperature of

200°F

• Detergent with a maximum pH not to exceed 12.

• Oxidative bleaching agents should not be used as these will damage X-Static silver antimicrobial fiber.

These include sodium, hypochlorite, hydrogen peroxide, and per(oxy)acetic acid (PAA).

• A thorough rinse is essential to remove traces of surfactant, as residual detergent will adversely affect the

X-Static silver antimicrobial.

• Do not overload washer or dryer.

• Fabric softeners should not be used.

• Always ensure that the fabric is thoroughly dried with heat. The dryer exhaust temperature should not exceed 200°F.

• Washers and dryers should be inspected regularly to ensure there are no rough spots that could damage the fabric.

• As is the usual procedure with laundering synthetic cubicle curtains, after the dry cycle is complete, curtains should be quickly removed to avoid over exposure to the heated drying cam.

• Silver is a natural element and may tarnish. This does not affect the biocidal properties of the material.

• Always process one single cubicle first before processing bulk cubicles. A thorough examination & evaluation of the test cubicle should be reviewed to make sure that the proper results are attained.
