Daily Procedures

When using strong cleaning agents such as rubbing alcohol or bleach, it is advisable to test first in an inconspicuous area. Other cleaning agents may contain harsh or unknown solvents and are subject to formula changes by the product manufacturer without notice. Should you desire to use other cleaning agents, carefully try them in an inconspicuous area to determine potential damage to the material. Never use harsh solvents or cleaners which are intended for industrial applications. To clean stained or soiled areas, a soft white cloth is recommended. Avoid use of paper towels.

Cleaning products may be harmful/irritating to your skin, eyes, etc. Use protective gloves and eye protection. Do Not inhale or swallow any cleaning product. Protect surrounding area/clothing from exposure. Use in well ventilated area. Follow all product manufacturer’s warnings. Cybex and its vendors cannot be held responsible for damage or injuries resulting from the use or misuse of cleaning products.
