Due to the global Coronavirus outbreak, everyone is encouraged to spend all their time at home to decrease the spread of the virus. ​COVID-19 has made people more cautious and try to take precautions to avoid getting affected. Even though washing your hands well is one of the most important ways to prevent the spread of COVID-19, it is also crucial to fight against bacteria and harmful pathogens in your home by keeping it clean.

Since everyone is in self-isolation at home, individuals should properly clean, disinfect, and sanitize household surfaces to reduce your exposure to dangerous germs and keep your family healthy.

When cleaning your home, upholstered furniture is usually forgotten. ​Make sure you keep your loved ones safe by using some of these measures in your day-to-day life. Here are some tips for sanitizing upholstery furniture.

- Wear gloves to protect you from harmful pathogens
- Vacuum often, especially in small areas such as the crevices
