Chieftain working with Ciba®
Working with you towards a cleaner environment

A unique MRSA controlling Fabric Range

Strong, durable and non-absorbent, Chieftain is a unique anti-bacterial and flame retardant fabric Range. It offers designers and specifiers exciting choices from cool plains to eye catching patterns . This contract quality fabric will complement any environment from Healthcare to hospitality and all public seating areas.

Chieftain, more importantly is ideal for use in high risk Infection Control areas and has been developed incorporating an inorganic Silver Zeolite based antimicrobial ingredient, Ciba (R) IRGAGUARD (R) B 5000. This ingredient provides long-lasting effectiveness, counter-acting even the most infectious organisms such as MRSA and e-coli bacteria.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Stain Resistance
Chieftain is resistant to urine, most household stains, mild acids/alkalis, drinks and beverages as they are not absorbed by the vinyl and can be wiped off without any problem or lasting damage.

Some difficult substances such as lipstick, ball point pen ink and food colourings should be cleaned off immediately to avoid permanent staining.

Cleaning
Regular cleaning with warm soapy water and followed by a clean water rinse, will help retain their attractive appearance and durability. Heavy, ingrained soiling may be removed by scrubbing with a soft brush.

Strong detergents, solvent cleaners, polishes or patent chemical cleaners should not be used as they are unnecessary and may cause embrittlement and cracking of the material.

Additional Care
Special attention should be given to head-rest and arm-rest areas, as build-up of body oils in these areas, will gradually cause the vinyl to harden.

In cases where disinfecting is necessary, the vinyl surface can be cleaned with a 10% solution of bleach in water. This should only be used occasionally, as excessive use may damage the coated fabric
