Caring for your equipment: cleaning & maintenance
Keep your DME safe, clean, and working with simple upkeep.
Key takeaways
- Wipe down with mild soap; avoid harsh chemicals on electronics and cushions.
- Charge power batteries regularly and don't let them fully drain.
- Report wobbles, noises, or weak brakes early — we service and resupply.
Keep it clean
Wipe equipment down regularly with mild soap and water per the manufacturer's guidance. Avoid harsh chemicals on cushions, fabrics, and electronics.
Batteries
Charge power wheelchairs and scooters on a regular schedule and don't let batteries fully drain — it shortens their life.
Check it over
Look at tires, brakes, bolts, and the frame now and then. Report wobbles, unusual noises, or weak brakes early.
Replace consumables
Filters, tubing, cushions, and dressings wear out — we set up easy resupply so you're never caught short.
We service it
Repairs and preventive maintenance are often covered for Medicare-purchased equipment, and rentals include servicing. Just call.
