For antiseptic care of furniture, gentle compositions with caring components are used: polishes, oils, ammonia, etc. It is safe to carry out antiseptic cleaning for most surfaces with such means as:

It's good if you have an air purifier at home. It serves as additional protection. Absolute medical alcohol 96% from a pharmacy cannot be used as an antiseptic. Ethanol works more effectively in combination with water.
