If you spend 40 hours a week working at a desk, you know that it can get pretty dirty. You probably take some time every few weeks to dust it off and wipe it down.
But did you ever think about cleaning your office chair? Whether your seat is upholstered, mesh, or leather, an office chair is a prime target for dirt and spills. Cleaning office chairs on a regular basis keeps them comfortable and extends their life.
Upholstered Chairs
For optimal dirt and dust removal, upholstered seating should be professionally cleaned once a year. To maintain your upholstered office chair year-round, vacuum the fabric with an upholstery attachment and wipe down the plastic arms with a sanitizing wipe or soap and water. If you spill something on your upholstery, follow the manufacturer's guidelines for cleaning and spot-removal procedures. You can usually find cleaning instructions on a tag or online.
Mesh Chairs
In recent years, mesh-backed chairs have gained popularity in offices. The stretchy material is comfortable because it adjusts to your shape and movement. According to eBay, mesh chairs are also durable and have improved ventilation over upholstered chairs, which make them easier to keep clean. In most cases, you can vacuum mesh fabric or spot clean it with mild soap and water.
Leather Chairs
Treating stains on leather can be difficult, and you should always consult your manufacturer's instructions before attempting to deep clean it. If you do spill on your leather office chair, however, Better Homes and Gardens recommends blotting with a clean, dry microfiber cloth. For older stains, try gently dabbing with warm water and clear, mild dish soap. Extremely dirty leather chairs may require professional treatment.
Check Office Chair Mechanics
While cleaning office chairs, it's also a good time to check for issues such as loose or sticky mechanisms. Your chair should roll easily, and you should be able to adjust the height smoothly. If the wheels, or casters, are clogged with dirt and hair, they will stop rolling. Re-lubricating or replacing the wheels may save you the need to purchase a new chair.
