Guide to Cleaning Fabrics & Vinyls – Please see the PDF download.
Remember that cleaning and disinfection are not the same:
- Cleaning is the process of removing dust, dirt, and staining from the surface of a fabric or vinyl to maintain its appearance and prolong its life.
- Disinfection is intended to kill germs – micro-organisms such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi – which can cause infection and spread disease.
- Some methods, notably using soap and water, bleach or steam – are effective at both cleaning and disinfecting, but certain methods can only be carried out on specific fibre types.
