We’ve spoken a lot about what to consider before investing your hard earned money into a stairlift and we’ve spoken about your safety and the benefits of reconditioned, new, heavy duty and curved stairlifts, but what can you do to make sure your stairlift stays in an efficient working condition?
Always Read Your Guides
Once you’ve decided which stairlift is suitable for your home, once friendly staff have taken time to carefully install your stairlift into your home, it’s time to pull out the handbook and boil the kettle.
The instruction manuals aren’t there for decoration, and a lot of the time they’ll give you good information on how to care for your stairlift as well as how to safely work it. With your cup of tea brewed, have a seat and take the time to see how you can ensure that your stairlift stays in its superb condition for years to come.
Grab Your Duster
Just as with the rest of your house, your stairlift will need cleaning too. Dust and dirt can build up anywhere, so it’s important for the smooth running of your stairlift that you keep everything in tip top form.
Regularly cleaning your stairlift isn’t hard work and staying on top of it will make things even easier. Take a simple duster or damp cloth and gently run it over the tracks and seat; there’s no need to use detergents or solvents as these can cause more damage to your stairlift than good. A simple dusting will work wonders.
Keep it in Working Order
The last thing you want is a stinted or very slow journey up and down your stairs. Your stairlift is there to make movement around your home easier, not harder. Taking care of the moving mechanisms of your stairlift is good for a constant, smooth running stairlift.
Stairlift specific lubrications and oiling the moving parts of your stairlift can greatly help movement and reduce the risk of damage to your tracks and moving parts over time.

Keeping your stairlift in the best condition possible on your own can only get you so far. For a full maintenance you can benefit from, it’s a good idea to have your stairlift serviced annually.
