(pronounced KLEEN-owt)

Whether in medical waiting areas, exam rooms or patient rooms, healthcare seating gets a lot of use by many different individuals, resulting in their getting dirty quickly. As hygiene and cleanliness are paramount in the world of healthcare design, most manufacturers catering to those environments incorporate a clean-out feature into their seating products. A clean-out is the space between a chair back and its seat that allows crumbs or any small item dropped into the chair to be wiped off easily and then cleaned off of the floor underneath.
