Note on the cleaning and disinfecting of furniture- If you aren’t sure how a surface will react to a cleaning product, always test it in a small, inconspicuous area first.
- VS cannot guarantee the ability of disinfectants to fight pathogens (like COVID-19); please refer to the CDC for specific guidance for your environment. VS does not make any claims regarding the level of disinfection offered by the major cleaner types listed.
