6. Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and hygiene of your cushion.

• Cover Care: The cushion cover is removable and can be hand washed. Follow the care label instructions. Do not machine wash, tumble dry, iron, or bleach the cover.
• Foam Care: The foam insert should not be washed. If it becomes soiled, gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild detergent, then allow to air dry completely away from direct heat or sunlight.
• Inspection: Regularly inspect the cushion and cover for any signs of wear, tears, or damage. Replace if significant damage is present.
• Storage: Store the cushion in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

7. Troubleshooting

• Discomfort: If you experience discomfort, re-adjust your sitting position. Ensure the cushion is correctly placed and not bunched up. If discomfort persists, consult a healthcare professional.
• Cushion Flattening: Over time, foam products may show some compression. Ensure the cushion is used within its recommended weight limits. If the cushion loses its supportive properties significantly, consider replacement.
• Cover Damage: If the cover is torn or damaged, it should be replaced to protect the foam and maintain hygiene. Contact NRS Healthcare for replacement covers.
