Remove the armrests, the seat, the lid and the splashguard – clean each part with a non-abrasive cleaner and then rinse them off thoroughly.
To cut down on skin infections it is important to clean the armrests and seat very thoroughly, as this is where your loved one’s skin has the most contact with the commode.

With regards to the underside of the seat, the splashguard and the frame immediately next to them, these will be the areas which get covered with urine and feces, so they will also require a thorough cleaning. The cleaning should remove any marks and deposits with a non-abrasive cleaner. Now clean the same parts again with disinfectant. Once you have finished washing with disinfectant, you can rinse and dry the different elements that you have removed.
