Cleaning the office chair is as important as cleaning the office desk.
If you've just ordered your new office furniture, it's time to take the time to look after the furniture you've invested in and learn how to clean it. To ensure that your office furniture, especially leather furniture and chairs, maintains its usual appearance, you must take special care and attention in its maintenance.

How to clean your office chair?

To remove light contamination such as dust or debris, we recommend wiping the seat frame and leather upholstery with a slightly damp microfiber cloth during regular office cleaning.
Here are some tips for cleaning different types of office chairs:

• Cleaning fabric office chairs:

Depending on the type of use of the chair, a deeper and more careful cleaning should be done once or twice a year to remove color, stain, odor and sweat from the office chairs.
Baking soda is an inexpensive material for cleaning the most dirty fabrics. To clean a fabric office chair, first rub baking soda with a sponge evenly on the surface of the fabric and leave it on for a few hours to work. Then wipe the baking soda from the seat surface with a cloth and clean the rest with a vacuum cleaner.

• Care and cleaning of leather office chair:

The inherent property of leather makes it very easy to maintain, strong and durable. Leather can be maintained and cleaned with high quality care products.
 To clean the leather, you have to do it in several steps; First, clean the dirt and discoloration from the leather seat with a vacuum cleaner; Preferably do this with a vacuum cleaner equipped with a soft brush. Then clean the surface pollution with a cloth moistened with warm water. If possible, it is better to use distilled water, because the chlorine in tap water can damage the leather coating over time.
 You can then treat the surface with a leather care lotion or milk to keep the leather moist and supple. Avoid using wet wipes and multi-purpose sprays in the supermarket, because they may contain chemicals that will damage your office furniture; Instead, you can use a milder cleaner that has been tested and proven to work on leather.
When choosing a leather care set, make sure it is suitable for the type of leather of your office chair; Smooth leather, saddle leather, pure aniline, nubuck or synthetic leather each require different cleaners.
 

• Cleaning the plastic office chair:

Plastic seats are usually not sensitive and do not have a special trick to clean, especially when it comes to black color; But if white plastic is used long-term, dirt, paint wear, or stains may settle. Most dirt on a plastic chair can be removed with a warm, damp cloth. If the contamination is still not removed, you can use special plastic cleaners.

• Cleaning the metal office chair:

Dust the metal with a clean, dry microfiber cloth. Heavier dirt can also be removed with a damp cloth. To avoid streaks on the seat, it should be dried immediately after getting wet. If your fingerprints remain on the metal office chair, you can clean it with a glass cleaner.

Guide to cleaning the stain from the office chair:

If you act immediately after the stain occurs, you can usually prevent the material from sticking to the fibers. Otherwise, there are specific cleaners and solvents you can use for each type of stain.
 Here are some tips to remove stains:

• Remove liquids and other dry residues with a spoon; and extract looser particles.
• In the case of liquids, if you act immediately and place a paper towel over the liquid, it can absorb the liquid.
• Grease and oil stains can be removed with a warm, moist, lint-free cloth or sponge and gently rub on the seat in circular motions.
• Stains containing oil, due to their hydrophobic nature, require a suitable cleaning agent to be removed.

More details about cleaning leather office chairs or furniture:

Leather office furniture is more popular and sensitive than other furniture, that's why we will continue to provide more tricks for cleaning and maintaining this type of furniture:

• Clean your sofa or leather chair regularly:

Leather is a durable material that gets better over time if taken care of. However, without a regular cleaning routine, your office sofa will soon start to look a little worn.
It is best to take care of your leather office furniture at least once a week, although you may want to increase this time to twice a week if you use the office furniture a lot (for example, waiting room furniture).
Make sure to clean all parts of your sofa or office chair evenly, as it is likely that after cleaning, there will be a slight change in the surface.

Your skin tone is created. After cleaning and using special lotions on leather office furniture, allow the furniture to dry naturally and avoid sitting on it until the work is finished. In this way, the material in the corners of your sofa remains without wrinkles; You can speed up this process by opening windows and creating proper ventilation in the office environment.

• Condition your leather office furniture regularly:

Leather contains oils that need to be replenished every so often. They contribute to the softness and smoothness of the coating, but regular use can reduce its natural properties. That's why it's important to use a special softener on your office furniture that gives it a new life and prevents it from drying out and cracking.

• Place your office furniture away from sunlight and other heat sources:

We mentioned in the previous section that conditioning the sofa helps to keep it soft and supple, but many people do not know that long-term exposure of leather furniture to sunlight and other heat sources is one of the main reasons for dryness and cracking.
Of course, it's impossible to keep your office furniture completely away from light and heat, but minimizing exposure to light can extend its life.

• Smooth your leather office furniture to maintain its natural shine:

One of the best features of new leather furniture is its beautiful and natural shine. The most effective way to maintain this quality is to regularly smooth the finish with a microfiber or soft cloth, which will keep the leather shiny and not looking tired.
 Polishing leather furniture is also a great way to reduce the appearance of scratches on your office furniture. The easiest way to remember to do this is to smooth the furniture after it has been cleaned and dried.
