Cleaning and Care

One of the best ways to keep Ultrafabrics

looking great and germ-free is through proper

maintenance and regular cleaning to prevent

excessive dirt from accumulating. Cleaners

and disinfectants recommended by the CDC to

combat viruses like COVID-19 have been tested

on Ultrafabrics materials with no adverse

effects when cleaning guidelines are followed.

W E L L N E S S A N D H E A LT H C A R E7

Recommended cleaners and disinfectants include:

○ Mild Detergent or Soap and Water (prior to disinfection)

○ Bleach-based Disinfectants including 1:5 bleach/water solution

○ Alcohol-based Cleaners and Disinfectants (at least 70% alcohol)

○ Quaternary-based Disinfectants

○ Hydrogen Peroxide-based Disinfectants

As always, when using any cleaner or disinfectant, it is important to

follow the manufacturer’s instructions, not saturate the surface of

our fabric, and remove all residue with a clean, damp cloth so the

surface of our fabric will not be damaged.
