Cleaning

NOTE

Do not wash items with holes or other defects which might permit entry of water
into the air chamber until after such defects are repaired. Exception of this is in
instances when sufficient air pressure can be maintained in the mattress during
cleaning to prevent the entry of water.

When the proper Quartermaster or commercial type laundry equipment is
available, tightly-stoppered and leak-free mattresses may be tumbled, using two 3-
minute rinses in cold water followed by a laundry sour rinse, When this method is
used, exercise care to prevent over washing or use of excessive heat. Petroleum
base solvents or other cleaning compounds which may have an injurious effect on
the mattresses will not be used. Cleaning will be accomplished in such manner as
to insure against damage to the coating. Thoroughly clean stoppers and wing
tubing with castile soap or by other antiseptic, nontoxic, and nonirritating process.

1. Place mattress requiring cleaning on a flat surface with plug tightly in place and scrub thoroughly,

using water and a mild soap or detergent which will have no harmful effect on the fabric.

2. During the cleaning process, examine partially or wholly inflated items for bubbles or other indications

of leaks and clearly mark such areas for repair.

3. Rinse thoroughly in clear water after scrubbing.
