How to Clean and Maintain a Pressotherapy Suit
Why Proper Cleaning Matters for Client Safety and Device Longevity
A pressotherapy suit is a vital part of any professional lymphatic drainage system. Whether used in a spa, clinic, or at home, it comes in direct contact with the user’s skin and absorbs sweat, body oils, and sometimes even product residue. Without proper maintenance, it can develop odors, bacteria buildup, or performance issues. To ensure hygiene, comfort, and longevity of your Pressotherapy system, routine cleaning and inspection should be built into your workflow.
| Contamination Type | Where It Occurs | How to Address It |
|---|---|---|
| Sweat and body oils | Inside the leg, arm, waist chambers | Wipe with alcohol-free disinfectant cloths after each use |
| Odor or bacteria buildup | Fabric lining and zipper seams | Weekly spray with anti-bacterial fabric sanitizer |
| Dust or stains | Outer layer of the suit | Use damp cloth and mild soap (no bleach) |
Routine Maintenance: How Often and What to Check
Beyond wiping down the suit, regular inspection of connectors, zippers, and internal hoses is essential to keep the system functioning efficiently. A good rule of thumb: clean after every use, inspect weekly, deep-clean monthly.
| Maintenance Task | Recommended Frequency | How to Perform |
|---|---|---|
| Surface cleaning of suit | After each use | Wipe with medical-grade disinfectant wipes |
| Connector hose check | Weekly | Ensure no air leaks or cracking in tubing |
| Fabric sanitation | Every 2–4 weeks | Use antibacterial spray or steam clean (low temp) |
Common Cleaning Mistakes to Avoid
Using harsh chemicals or incorrect procedures can damage your pressotherapy suit or even void the warranty. Below are the most common cleaning errors—and how to prevent them.
| Mistake | Why It’s Harmful | What to Do Instead |
|---|---|---|
| Using bleach or strong alcohol | Can damage PVC fabric or fade materials | Use gentle, alcohol-free hospital disinfectant |
| Machine-washing the suit | Damages air chambers and electronics | Only spot-clean or steam low-temp |
| Neglecting zippers and seams | Dirt buildup can block air flow | Clean seams with cotton swab or soft brush |
