How to Clean Ponte Giulio Products

As the COVID-19 virus travels around the world, our distributors and customers may ask how to clean Ponte Giulio grab bars, shower seats and other bathroom safety products.
Each product may have different recommendations based on the materials used to manufacture the item. To check a specific product, consult the technical data sheet located on our website at www.pontegiulio.com for specific instructions.
However, we can offer the following basic cleaning instructions:

1.Wipe product using a soft, moist cloth soaked with liquid soap and warm water.
2.Non-abrasive cleaners like 409 or Fantastic diluted with water may be used.
3.Do not use abrasive or grainy cleaners, abrasive detergents, strong acids or chlorine bleach since they will not improve the cleaning of the equipment and may lead to finish, color or product deterioration.
4.Rinse with clean water.
5.Dry with a clean, soft cloth

This cleaning procedure can be done as often as necessary. Items that are used daily should be cleaned after use.
Handwashing recommendations from the CDC should be followed including washing hands often with soap for at least 20 seconds, especially after using the restroom, before eating or preparing food and after coughing or sneezing and avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth.
