Do the covers dry quickly after washing?
The speed of drying will depend on the cleaning product used, the air temperature and airflow. For faster drying use a cleaning agent with higher alcohol content, or towel dry after washing.
Avoid leaving cleaning agent residue on the covers as this will build up a small coating. This can easily be cleaned using warm soapy water/ gentle(ph neutral) dish washing detergent.
Is the material warm or cold?
We undertook thermaltesting of the covers. To read how it compared to vinyl beds and cotton covers- read our full article.
Will body sweat showon the covers?
Sweat or moisture from a persons body may show up on the covers when they come in direct contact with skin. This can be easily wiped or cleaned off. Remember, this is why the covers are great barriers as any reusable cotton/towelling would have absorbed and been there for the next clients.

How long will the products typically last?
Each Clinic ArmourProduct carries a limited conditional warranty for 12 months fromdate of purchase. Based on historical use of the fabric in Medical environments we have found that with normal use and cleaning practices, the products will likely last for a minimum of two (2) years depending on use and care. Like normal bed linen - even Clinic Armour covers will need updating and replacing. Harsh cleaning agents will shorten the life of the product.
