How to clean a fabric office chair?

We’ll start with the most commonly used chair in offices: Fabric office chair. So how to clean fabric office chairs effectively? To begin, use a vacuum cleaner to remove all of the debris from the chair. A vacuum cleaner is highly recommended to reduce the risk of the stitches breaking or the upholstery expanding.

• Step 1: Use a feather brush or a soft brush to remove dirt from the outside of the chair. 
• Step 2: Mix the cleaning  solution according to the formula 1:5 (water : solution). 
• Step 3: Use a soft-bristled iron brush to absorb the mixed solution to clean the surface of the chair.
• Step 4: Baking soda can be used to remove stubborn stains from the chair.  After applying baking soda powder on the dirty areas, use a soft bristle brush to scrub it. 
• Step 5: Dry the chair with a vacuum cleaner to avoid mold, which can cause damage and smells.
• Step 6: Finally, place the fabric office chair in bright (but not too hot) sunshine.

How to clean office chair wheels

Fortunately, cleaning the wheels of a moving office chair is a simple activity that everyone can complete. Here are the following steps on how to clean office chair wheels:

Step 1: Flip your chair: 

Place your office chair upside down on the floor with the wheels pointing up. Place the chair at a reachable height and clean the swivel seat wheel. This makes the cleaning process a lot easier.

Step 2: Clean up the dirt 

A dull knife can help you scrape any dirt sticking to the wheel through the slots and beneath the wheel cover. This helps you to get rid of the majority of dirt that has accumulated on the wheel.

Step 3: Disassemble the wheel:

Most office swivel chair wheels are removable. Disassemble them with a screwdriver to clean them easier. 

Step 4: Remove dirt: 

Using a soft (wet) cloth to remove any leftover dirt from the wheel. Wipe both the outside and interior of the wheel cover. If your finger won’t fit through the lid, a cotton swab can be used to entirely remove the dirt stuck to the wheel’s slit.

After washing the wheel, carefully dry it with a dry cloth. If the interior of the seat wheel is still moist, it will become an ideal place for dust to collect. Then, use clean rags or paper towels to dry the chair’s wheels. If you’re at home, using a dryer to dry is also a viable option.

Step 5: Lubrication: 

Applying a small amount of oil to each tire makes it easier to move and to clean your office chair wheels. Finally, wipe away any surplus lubricants before they suck up and get nasty.

Step 6: Finish: 

After you’ve completed all of the previous steps, turn your office chair upside down and use it.
