Cleaning recommendations
During this time of increased risk of contracting serious illness, we suggest frequent and regular cleaning of all equipment, props, accessories and other high-touch surfaces.
In order to keep your Merrithew equipment and props clean we recommend using one of the following solutions:
Clorox® Hydrogen Peroxide Disinfecting Cleaner
This kills bacteria and viruses in 30 seconds.
BLEACH-RITE® Disinfecting Spray with Bleach, Current Technologies
This is a hospital-grade pre-mixed cleaner with bleach diluted 1:10.
Dispatch® Hospital Cleaner Disinfectant Towels with Bleach
This kills most bacteria and viruses in 1 minute.
Bleach and water solution
The Center for Disease Control (CDC) recommends a solution of 5 tablespoons (75 ml) of household bleach to 1 gallon (3.8 l) of water as an effective disinfectant that can kill up to 99.9% of germs on surfaces.
To use this method of cleaning, mix the solution and place in a spray bottle. Spray the equipment thoroughly and wipe with a cotton cloth, allow to solution to remain in contact for 10 minutes. Rinse with warm, clean water to remove any residue. Note, leaving the solution for longer than 10 minutes has no added benefit. The item may be used as usual once surfaces are completely dry.
Bleach, even when diluted can remove or change colour from fabrics. To reduce the risk of bleaching fabrics, rinse surfaces thoroughly with water.
