CLEAN FROM THE GROUND UP Begin to clean the lift from the inside, working from the ground up. Use a disposable cloth and warm, soapy water. Finish by sanitising frequently touched surfaces with a household disinfectant. 3. HANDRAIL & LIFT BUTTONS Use a microfiber cloth to remove excess dust and debris and an antibacterial cleaning product to sanitise the handrail and lift buttons. Avoid corrosive detergents, as they may damage electronic components. 4. GLASS & STEEL SURFACES Use warm, soapy water for the glass and metal surfaces of the shaft and doors.
