Cleaning the Vicair O2 cushion cover
The cushion cover can be machine washed. Follow the washing instructions on the label attached to the inside of the cover.

Cleaning the Vicair O2 cushion
Your Vicair O2 cushion can be machine washed at 60°C using an anti-crease cycle and mild detergent. You do not need to remove the SmartCells before putting the cushion into the washing machine. Make sure the topside of the cushion is not placed against the glass of the washer door. Do not load the machine with more than half of its maximum load weight. Spin speed should be reduced. When using a machine with agitator, make sure that the cushion can move freely within the drum. Do not use any chlorine bleach and do not dry clean. Do not tumble dry your Vicair O2 cushion, but let it air dry (5-6 hours). You can use the sling to hang dry your Vicair O2 cushion.
Please note: when washing the Vicair Active O2, first remove the Foam inlay. The Foam inlay cannot be machine washed. 

Disinfecting your Vicair O2 cushion and cover
Clean the cushion and cover as instructed above. Preferably use an antibacterial detergent. After washing spray your cushion and cover with a disinfectant. Bend compartments outwards to make sure the spray gets into the gaps.
