Keep it rolling. Your guide to caring for your rollator.
Your rollator is part of your daily life. It carries your shopping, joins you on morning walks and waits patiently by the door. A few simple habits will keep it safe, smooth and looking its best for years to come.
The good news? Caring for a rollator is easy. Most of it takes just a few minutes — a quick wipe here, a glance at the brakes there. Below you'll find everything you need to know, whether your rollator lives indoors, outdoors, or a bit of both.
The basics — for every rollator
No matter which model you have, these habits apply:
Check the brakes regularly. Squeeze the brake handles and make sure the wheels stop firmly. Test the parking brake too — it should hold the rollator still when you sit down or lean on it. If the brakes feel loose or spongy, they may need adjusting. Never use a rollator with brakes you don't trust.
Keep the folding mechanism clean. Dust and grit can build up in the joints over time. Wipe them down now and then, and make sure the rollator locks securely into position every time you unfold it.
Look over the wheels. Spin each wheel and check that it turns freely. Remove any hair, threads or debris that may have wrapped around the axles — a common culprit for wheels that feel sluggish.
Tighten what's loose. Once in a while, check that screws and fittings are snug. Handles, seat and basket should feel solid, with no rattling or play.
Use it as intended. Your rollator is built for support while walking and resting — not as a transport chair or a step stool. Respect the maximum user weight and load limits for the seat and basket, and it will reward you with a long life.
Caring for your indoor rollator
An indoor rollator lives a gentler life, but it still appreciates a little attention.
Wipe it down weekly. A soft cloth with mild soapy water is all you need. Pay attention to the handles and seat — the places your hands and clothes touch most. Avoid harsh cleaning agents or abrasive sponges, which can dull the finish.
Keep the wheels floor-friendly. Indoor wheels pick up dust, crumbs and pet hair. Clean them regularly so they roll silently and don't leave marks on your floors. A slightly damp cloth works well.
Mind the tray and basket. If your rollator has a tray, wash it like you would any kitchen surface — it often carries coffee cups and plates. Remove and clean textile baskets according to their care label.
Watch for wear on soft parts. Hand grips and seat surfaces are the first to show wear indoors. If a grip becomes loose, cracked or slippery, it's time to replace it. Spare parts are available for all our models.
Give it a home. Park your rollator somewhere dry and level, away from radiators and direct heat sources. Fold it as often as you like — with the brake wires running hidden inside the frame, there's nothing to snag or pinch.
Caring for your outdoor rollator
Your outdoor rollator faces weather, terrain and everything in between. It's built for it — but a little care goes a long way.
Rinse off the day. After walks on gravel, sand, salted winter pavements or the beach, rinse or wipe down the frame and wheels. Salt and grit are the biggest enemies of moving parts. Dry it afterwards, especially around the brakes and folding joints.
Never use a pressure washer. It forces water into bearings and the brake mechanism. A garden hose on gentle flow, or a bucket and cloth, is perfect.
Check the tyres. Outdoor wheels take the hardest hits. Look for embedded stones, cuts or uneven wear. Worn tyres reduce grip and braking performance — replace them before they become a problem.
Trust the hidden brake system — but keep it tuned. The brake wires run inside the frame, fully protected from rain, dirt and snagging, so there's nothing to clean or untangle. What you may notice over time is that the brakes gradually need a firmer squeeze. That's normal wear, not a fault — the brakes simply need adjusting, a quick and easy fix.
Let it dry before storing. If your rollator gets properly wet, let it dry fully before parking it in a hallway or cupboard. Trapped moisture can cause corrosion over time, even on quality frames.
Store it indoors when you can. Your rollator handles rain and shine on the go, but it shouldn't live outside permanently. Overnight storage indoors, in a garage or under cover protects the finish, the textiles and the mechanics.
Winter deserves extra attention. Road salt is corrosive. During winter months, wipe down the frame and wheels more often, and keep an eye on any bare metal parts. If you use your rollator less in winter, store it clean, dry and with the parking brake off.
A quick seasonal check-up
Twice a year — spring and autumn are perfect — give your rollator five minutes of full attention:
- Test both brakes and the parking function
- Spin all wheels and clear the axles
- Check the folding mechanism locks securely
- Tighten any loose screws or fittings
- Inspect grips, seat and basket for wear
- Wipe down the full frame
That's it. Six steps, and you're set for another season.
