Here at Office Chair Superstore, we know all about your busy schedule. We know that you spend a lot of your day planning out your week, trying to fit everything in when we both know there are just not enough hours in the day. We are always working hard to make sure that our chairs will give you a long life in helping your business be more successful by keeping your aching bones in check. However, as hard as we work, as amazing as our chairs may be, we can only help you so much.

Now, that being said, it is up to you to continually maintain the quality of the chairs we provide you. We know how busy you are. We also know how much time you don’t have to find the best way to clean and maintain your chair. So, today, we are going to shed some light on the subject and give you a few tips to keep your chair in near-mint condition, which in turn, will give your chair the longest life for you and your business.

General Maintenance.

First, let’s start with some regular chair maintenance tips for every week or so. Now, although we know you are busy, by doing regular maintenance on your chair will give it the longest life possible. So, once a week make sure to set out about 15–20 minutes to love your chair. And we promise, by doing so, your chair will love you back.

For upholstery or leather.

  • Lightly brush and/or vacuum the upholstery
  • Dust the leather surfaces with a soft, clean cloth.

For vinyl chairs.

  • To remove dirt and smudges from the vinyl, use a solution of mild soap and a little bit of warm water, and finish it off by drying with a soft. lint-free cloth.

For wood chair or wood finishes.

  • When cleaning wood finish or wood chair, make sure to use a damp, not wet, cloth or sponge, and wipe it dry with a clean cotton cloth, as this will give it a nice finished look to it. However, it is important to remember to wipe in the direction of the wood grain, otherwise, it will ruin the wood and take years off its lifespan

For all chairs.

As nasty as it may sound, you need to clean your casters. What are casters you ask? Well, it is the wheels on your chairs. Now, over long periods of time, your wheels will collect hair, dirt and a whole number of other disgusting things. But, unless you clean them, it will negatively affect how your chair moves, especially on hard surfaces.

  • To remove all this nastiness, just use your regular old household cleaning solution, like Formula 409庐 or something similar, and take a good scrubber or even a toothbrush and lightly scrub it until stuff comes off. Once finished, wipe with a paper towel and it’ll be grand.
  • Every six months or so, you always want to tighten any bolts or screws on your chair, because this will not only ensure that the chair will stay intact for future use, but it will also ensure you and your chairs safety.

The Importance of Cleaning Your Chairs.

Although it may seem like a minor thing to clean and maintain your chair, however, we both know that your chair will most likely be a representation of you. That being said, if you are in an office-based setting, where you have all sorts of meetings and people popping in and out, more often than not, they will see your chair. And if they see your chair, they will be looking to see how you take care of it. If they see that it is in mint condition, well, it might be the defining factor of whether you get that next big job or not. So, take care of it as if you are taking care of your own child.

Conclusion.

In conclusion, we want you to know that your success is our success, and your failure is our failure, which is why we want to help you in every way we can, even the maintenance of your chair. Because, in everything we do, we do it with the sweat of our brows and the conviction in our hearts, to always follow through on our promise, our promise to give you nothing but the best. So with that, we welcome you into the family. Choose only the best, choose only Office Chair Superstore.
