Cleaning Sofa By Rubbing Alcohol. Will The Fumes Hurt Me?
Question: I was cleaning my sofa with rubbing alcohol and I wondering if the fumes will hurt me.
Brief Answer:
No, unless the exposure is massive
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Cleaning the sofa with rubbing alcohol is fine. It is done routinely. I do not think the fumes can hurt you or anyone around.
The alcohol evaporates quickly and disappears.
Do not worry; you won't be hurt by it unless the exposure is massive.
Hope it is clear to you.
