View the collection in our Finish Library Care + Maintenance SANITIZING HOW TO SANITIZE YOUR STEELCASE PRODUCTS DO NOT use disinfectants unless the material is specifically approved for this. Disinfectants will damage many surfaces and fabrics. When planning how to clean your Steelcase products, ask yourself: Is this necessary? Fabrics rarely transmit contagions. Studies show viruses stay active on porous materials a much shorter time than nonporous surfaces. SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, is mainly spread via aerosol. Coronaviruses on surfaces and objects naturally die within hours to days.* Even for microbes that are spread via surface, soap and water are enough*. This removes microbes from surfaces, which lowers the risk of transmission. Focus efforts on high-touch, multi-user surfaces. What little risk there is of surface transmission is limited to places that a lot of people touch often, like conference room door handles or tables. Once you’ve decided which surfaces to clean, see our instructions for how to clean Steelcase standard hard and soft surfaces.
