Can AURA be used to clean upholstery and sofas?

Yes — and upholstery is one of the Laurastar AURA's most impressive use cases, because it's one of the hardest surfaces to clean thoroughly by any other method.

Here's what AURA delivers on sofas, armchairs, and cushions:

•    Deep purification without soaking: DMS steam superheated to 150°C penetrates deep into the padding to sanitise the fibres, then evaporates rapidly. Furniture is ready to use within minutes with no risk of mould growth from residual moisture.
•    Pest and odour elimination: The high-temperature steam kills 100% of dust mites and bed bugs hidden inside the fabric, and neutralises odours — pet smells, sweat, mustiness — at the source rather than masking them.
•    Allergen reduction: The Textile Nozzle significantly reduces concentrations of pet dander, pollen, and other allergens embedded in upholstery fibres.

Use the Textile Nozzle on the seat, back, and armrests, working in slow, overlapping passes. For cushions and pillows, the same technique applies.
