Health and hygiene

Is it worth checking the sofa when someone is ill?

·

If someone at home has been ill, upholstered furniture is usually part of the general cleaning. Follow the material's care instructions and clean visible dirt with a suitable method.

Is a sofa a special source of concern during illness?

Check for visible dirt, the condition of the textile and the care instructions. Regular upholstered furniture cleaning does not replace the guidance of the Health Board or a healthcare professional if there is a risk of infection.

What to do with the sofa?

If something gets on the sofa, such as vomit, gently blot it up right away. See also stain and cleaning topics. Otherwise, continue with regular care, including vacuuming.

Does regular sofa cleaning destroy pathogens?

Our cleaning removes dust and dirt deep from the fabric, but we do not claim that it destroys viruses or bacteria. We have no confirmation of that.

When should you order cleaning?

If the sofa needs cleaning anyway, for example because of odor, stains or hair, you can order a regular sofa cleaning. We do not offer separate illness-related cleaning.

This article gives general household and hygiene information, not medical advice. In case of a more serious illness or risk of infection, follow the guidance of a doctor or the Health Board.
