Care & Cleaning
Wipe vinyl surfaces with a mixture of water and tea tree oil, a
natural disinfectant. Add 1tsp of tea tree oil to a 1L or 1qt spray
bottle of water. A mixture of mild soap and water may be used to
remove more persistent dirt. Ensure cleaner does not leave an oily
residue, or make surfaces slippery.
CAUTION: Chemical-based cleansers used around Reformer
feet may cause permanent marking on floors. The warranty
does not cover this damage. We highly recommend avoiding
chemical-based products and suggest placing a non-slip mat
under the machine.
Avoid spraying liquid directly onto surfaces. Never use oil
lubricants as they may damage rollers.
