Cleaning & Maintenance
Ambla is resistant to most mild acids, alkalis, drinks and household stains. Clean with a damp soapy cloth and rinse well with clean water. Do not use solvents, bleaches, abrasives, synthetic detergents, wax polishes or aerosol sprays (chlorine-releasing agents at levels of 1-10000 parts per million should pose no problems as long as the material does not endure long soakings at the higher concentrations). Disinfectants may be used in dilution as specified by their manufacturers. These include Haz-Tabs and other disinfectants commonly used in hospital infection control programmes. Rinse well with clean water. Ambla surfaces are NaDCC compatible.
Ambla fabric protects against C. difficile, MRSA & E. coli.
Ambla is an Antimicrobial Vinyl
As a direct response to the challenge of infection control all production of Ambla contains an antimicrobial agent.
This is incorporated in to the vinyl formulation itself at the production stage. It is not a surface treatment and therefore retains its effectiveness after regular cleaning. Amongst other benefits it resists the development of mould and mildew and helps prevent musty or stale odours.
Ambla is tested on a regular basis to ensure the antimicrobial additive remains effective.
Ambla containing the antimicrobial agent is effective against the spread of MRSA, E.coli and other harmful bacteria on its surface.
Clostridium difficile can not multiply on Ambla surfaces under normal aerobic conditions

Infection Control in Healthcare Environments
The increase in MRSA infections and the issue of hygiene and cleanliness in hospitals has been widely discussed in the media.
The complex problem of infection control is a focus of attention for specialised health care professionals. Cleaning routines are designed to prevent the spread of MRSA, E coli and other bacteria which can occur through direct and indirect contact. In the case of direct contact, personal hygiene is a very important factor. MRSA and other harmful bacteria can also be spread indirectly through contact with infected surfaces. In this respect the choice and care of furnishing fabrics in the hospital environment have important roles to play.
Vinyl coated fabrics are commonly used on furniture in hospitals. A key characteristic of vinyl surfaces, as opposed to most fabrics, is that they are hydrophobic. They do not absorb water, they do not retain dampness and they can be completely dried after washing. Research has confirmed that the viability of MRSA bacteria is greatly reduced in dry environments.
Ambla Performs
