Keeping your wheelchair clean is also important because the dirt can not only get into your bearings and other moving parts it can also be tracked into your house and make your house dirty and damage your floors. So, the wheelchair must be cleaned from time to time, with special attention to the wheels. The best way to keep your house clean on a regular basis is to use Wheelchair Tire Covers, such as RehaDesign Slippers and Socks.
