Proper cleaning and maintenance extend the life of your equipment and ensure safety for patients and crews. Here’s how to keep your First Responder stretcher mattresses and straps in optimal condition.
Daily Cleaning Routine
Use an EPA-approved disinfectant or hospital-grade wipe. Wipe all surfaces of the mattress, including corners and seams. Pay special attention to areas around straps and buckles.
Do Not Use:
- Harsh abrasives or steel wool
- Bleach-based cleaners in high concentration (unless verified safe by the product label)
- Submerging mattresses in water
Weekly or Between-Shift Checks
Inspect for tears, cracking, or worn buckles. If foam appears misshaped or if vinyl shows signs of deterioration, remove from service until replaced.
Strap Care Tips
Straps can accumulate grime quickly. Clean them with disinfectant wipes or a damp cloth. If buckles become loose or straps fray, replacements are available through FirstResponderProductsByCasco.com.
Storage Tips
- Store products in a dry, temperate location
- Do not fold or compress mattresses for long-term storage
