No! Do not treat a sofa with Lysol to get rid of lice. Try using 100% Pure Tea Tree Oil and water. Use 10 Drops per 2oz of water in a spray bottle. Spray everywhere that has been possibly infected with lice or their nits (eggs). Let sit for a half hour to an hour, then vaccum. The more you vacuum, the more you cut down on nits and possible re-infestation. Also it is a good idea to take stuffed animals and decorative pillows and tightly bag them for 2-3 weeks or until lice are completely gone.
To get rid of lice on your head, here's something that worked for me and my family. Take 2 teaspoons of Tea Tree Oil and Mix with 7 Tablespoons of Olive Oil in a sqeezy bottle, similar to those used in dye kits. Saturate Hair, leave in overnight. Nits slide off easily with Olive Oil. Wash hair with baby shampoo then comb with nit comb. You can put conditioner in to make it easier to comb through hair if you want.
You can also just use Tea Tree Oil and Water too. Same idea as listed above for spraying the house. Only, saturate hair, put on shower cap, leave on for an hour. Saturate again, comb out nits/lice. Wash with baby shampoo or even a shampoo with tea tree and peppermint oils. Up to you.

Will rubing achool work on furinture to get rid of head lice?
No, it will ruin the furniture.Head lice can not survive long off the human head. Along with a treatment for the lice infestation on the human head, clothes, towels, bedding, combs and brushes, which came in contact with the infested individual, can be disinfected either by leaving them outside for at least 3 days or by washing them at 60°C(140 degrees F) for 30 minutes. An insecticidal treatment of the house and furniture is not necessary. If you are worried about furniture vacuum it well and do not use it for a week and all the lice will have died.
