Bacteria-Free Cleaning of Office Chairs in 4 Easy Steps, 2023

Like with other frequently used furniture, your office chair may soon become a breeding ground for bacteria and allergies. But, following Edomey's basic cleaning steps to clean office chairs, they will be kept in pristine condition.

Office chairs, particularly those that are extremely adjustable, tend to have crevices where lint, dust, crumbs, and hair may gather. Whether they are upholstered or unupholstered chairs, we will assist you in removing them.

What You Needs:

Leather, vinyl, plastic mesh, and polyurethane-upholstered chairs all benefit from regular upkeep using these items:

  • Clean the floor using a vacuum: Cleaning a chair may be made much easier with the help of a handheld vacuum or cordless stick vacuum. Attachments may be purchased for certain vacuums that are designed to get rid of dust and allergens from furniture.
  • Soap for cleaning dishes: Seventh Generation Dish Liquid is a good option, but any clear dish soap or mild soap will do the trick.
  • You'll need either a spray bottle or a shallow dish.
  • A few fresh, gentle rags: You may use a microfiber cloth, an old cotton T-shirt, or any other lint-free rags.
  • A pressurised air can or duster (optional): When it comes to cleaning hard-to-reach areas, nothing beats the convenience of a duster like the Swiffer Duster. It's also possible to use pressurised air from a can to blast away any dust or debris.

How Much Time Would It Take?

Every day, dab any spills or stains with water or a water-and-soap solution to stop them from settling in. It ought to take you no more than 5 min to do that.

To clean your chair and eliminate dust and bacteria, it may take as little as 15 minutes (including air-drying time). We advise doing this once a week, or whenever you clean your desk or vacuum your office.

You'll need around 30 minutes to get rid of tough stains or complete a seasonal thorough cleaning.

1. Vacuuming And Dusting.

Completely remove any dust, lint, hair, and other debris by vacuuming the whole chair, from the back to the wheels. Use a duster or a can of compressed air to clean spots that your vacuum can't reach.

2. Use A Soapy Water Rag To Clean The Seat.

In a small bowl or spray bottle, combine a few drops of dish soap with the warm water. Although Steelcase suggests (PDF) a mixture of one part soap to sixteen parts water, you don't have to be precise.

Use a cloth soaked in the solution to gently wipe off all of the chair's surfaces, or softly spray the solution onto the chair and dab it in with a cloth. Apply just enough to cover the chair's surface without soaking the insert and perhaps damaging the chair's materials.

3. Rinse and dry

Use another towel wet with clean water to remove any remaining soap. Afterwards, wipe off the seat and its covering with a dry towel before moving on to the hard parts of the chair (the arms, the legs, etc). (such as leather and vinyl).

Fabric seats should be allowed to air dry, but a hair dryer on the cold setting or a wet/dry vac may also be used in a pinch.

4., Use Rubbing Alcohol or Similar Spot Remover To Stains.

Certain stains may be removed using an alcohol-based cleaner if the dish soap solution fails to do so. Ensure the cleaner won't damage the fabric by first testing a tiny, hidden area, such as the underside of the seat, of the chair. Next, dab a little amount of alcohol onto a clean, dry cloth and massage it into the stain. To get rid of any traces of alcohol, wipe off the fabric with water and then let it air dry.

If the stain persists after treating it with alcohol, you should try another method. Beer, blood, chocolate, coffee, and ink are just some of the usual stains that may be removed with the help of iFixit's guides. To get rid of the stain entirely, you may need to use it again.
