Wheelchair Maintenance Guideline

Your wheelchair needs constant monitoring and care to stay in its optimum condition. You need to be attentive while cleaning your wheelchair and keep the cleaning sessions as regular as possible.

At first, you need to check the tires for wear and tear. Those are the main part of the wheelchair so you need to see if you need to replace the tires. Also, wash the tires regularly as they collect dirt from wherever you go. Use a hose to rinse the tires after every ride or pour water from a bucket to keep them clean. If the fabrics of the chair are removable, wash them separately. If the fabrics are fixed, use a vacuum or a soft cloth to get rid of any debris or dust that might have been collected there, especially in the seating area. The headrest and seating portion can be sweaty from being in contact with skin all the time so you need to be more attentive on those parts.

Take a soft cloth dipped in soapy water solution to wipe over the frame of the wheelchair. You can use cleaning products but avoid using anything too harsh as it can damage the surface. You can also use that solution with a soft sponge to scrub over any stubborn stains that might be visible on the covers or headrest of the chair. Take a dry cloth to wipe over the entire chair one last time and let it dry off on its own before using it again. Keep the bearings and other moving parts well-lubricated. If any part turns out to be faulty, replace it immediately.
