Cleaning and disinfection of fabrics

The facts 

Some users are uncertain when dealing with fabrics and open-pored surfaces such as those used for absorbers. But let us trust the facts: Textiles are not considered to be the main carrier of the virus so far, because viruses do not survive as well on soft surfaces like fabrics as they do on smooth surfaces like plastic, laminate, metal and glass. On textiles, viruses are more likely to be trapped and therefore less likely to spread. Textiles are therefore not the biggest risk factor and we can reduce the residual risk even further through cleaning and disinfection measures.

Cleaning and care

As a general rule, regular cleaning will keep your fabrics looking good for longer. There are some simple guidelines for this.

Vacuuming: 

Schmutz und Staub können sich wie ein Schleifmittel auf den Stoff auswirken. Regelmäßiges Absaugen verhindert, dass sich der Stoff vorzeitig abnutzt.Dirt and dust can act like an abrasive on the fabric. Regular vacuuming will prevent the fabric from wearing out prematurely.

Stains:

Remove stains quickly by absorbing excess liquid before it soaks in or dries. Use upholstery shampoo or liquid soap and warm water if necessary. Never cover wet fabrics, especially wool, and always ensure that a clean cloth soaked in soapy water is wrung out well.

Deep cleaning:

For a more thorough cleaning, wool, polyester and Trevira CS can be dry cleaned or steam cleaned. Polyester and Trevira CS can also be machine washed if the upholstery is removable.
