Merrithew® has more than 30 years of experience building Reformers that last. Like any piece of sophisticated equipment, sometimes unexpected things happen, so it’s best to be prepared.
The Equipment Care Kit, which comes with everything you might need to perform standard repairs and maintenance, is the ace in your deck of cards on a Friday afternoon.
It’s good practice to buy the kit when you purchase your Reformer so you have it on hand just in case. If you think about how much time and stress it will save you waiting on replacement parts, it’s worth the investment.
Product, care and how-to maintenance manuals are available on the Merrithew website to guide you through the replacement process step-by-step. Merrithew’s friendly customer care team also offers support via phone and email.
“You may feel hesitant the first time you replace a part, but it will empower you to have control over your equipment and you will feel so much better and more confident once you do. Once you’ve done it once, the big mystery is over and you can give yourself kudos,” says Merrithew Customer Care Specialist Ken Anderson.

- Clean the rollers and the rails with a damp cloth on a daily basis
- Clean the vinyl with a wet rag on a daily basis or after every client
