Can PVC loungers be disinfected with harsh chemicals without damage?
PVC loungers are popular for their durability and comfort, but many owners wonder if they can be disinfected with harsh chemicals without causing damage. The answer is yes, but with caution.
PVC is resistant to many chemicals, but prolonged exposure to strong disinfectants like bleach or ammonia can degrade the material over time. To safely disinfect your PVC lounger:
1. Dilute harsh chemicals (e.g., 1:10 bleach-to-water ratio).
2. Apply the solution with a soft cloth, avoiding excessive scrubbing.
3. Rinse thoroughly with water to remove residue.
4. Dry completely to prevent moisture buildup.
For regular maintenance, mild soap and water are often sufficient. Always test a small, hidden area first when using new cleaning agents. By following these steps, you can keep your PVC lounger clean and sanitized without compromising its longevity.
