Cleaning Methods/Steps for Different Chairs
1. Mesh office chair
Mainstream ergonomic office chairs are mainly made of mesh material to protect the comfort and health of the human body in all aspects. Apart from the function, the most direct thing is that the air permeability of mesh chairs is better than that of leather office chairs, which makes sedentary people and bosses sit more comfortably, so this type of chair is very common in offices.
In terms of maintenance, be careful not to put scissors, carving knives and other things that are easy to scratch the mesh on the mesh chair. If conditions permit, you can also add a dust cover to it.
When cleaning, the main problem is that the seat cushion is not easy to clean. Of course, some high-end office chairs use pure mesh cushions without sponges on the cushions, so this type of chair is relatively simple to clean. Most families or offices mainly use office chairs with sponges on the cushions, so the following mainly talks about the cleaning of this type of chair. The situations of different families are different. The following provides two methods for you to choose.
The first method: suitable for situations where there is no vacuum cleaner at home.
1. Use a feather duster to clean the dust first;
2. Put a little detergent in clean water, put the rag in the water, and wring it dry;
3. Use a rag to scrub the chair several times;
4. Use a soft brush to wash gently, and then air dry. To dry quickly, you can also consider using a hair dryer, but don't blow it for too long.
The second type: suitable for situations where there is a vacuum cleaner, and preferably a high-temperature cleaning machine.
1. Dust first. First use a vacuum cleaner to vacuum the dust comprehensively and absorb dust particles from the whole. If there is no vacuum cleaner, use a feather duster to clean the dust, and also to remove dust from the whole;
2. Dilute the detergent, or inject it into the water tank, and then spray the detergent on the office chair comprehensively;
3. Let the detergent stay on the office chair for a while to let the stains fall off the fibers;
4. Use a high-temperature cleaning machine to extract and wash, and then use a dryer to dry. If there are no such electrical equipment, it is better to use a soft brush to gently wash and then air dry.
The above methods are suitable for general family use. Professional cleaning companies also have various more professional equipment such as water suction machines, which will not be discussed here. But in terms of cleaning methods, they are all similar, except that they have more professional equipment.
2. Leather office chairs
Leather chairs are mainly divided into two types: genuine leather and artificial leather. If conditions permit, you can also customize the cover to protect it.
The first: simple way
For this type of office chair, you should pay attention to dust prevention of the cushion in daily life. If conditions permit, you can take care of the cushion, backrest and armrest every day. You can wipe it with a wet towel. For more stubborn stains, you can add some detergent with low pH to clean it, such as the detergent used for washing fruits in daily life. This is a simple care method.
The second: high-end leather chairs with professional equipment
For high-end leather boss chairs, if conditions permit and professional equipment, you can use a special steam engine and special detergent for cleaning office chairs. Before operation, you can do a test in an inconspicuous place to see if the leather has faded. If it has faded, you have to use other methods. After cleaning, you should apply a layer of protective liquid to the office chair to prevent dirt from penetrating into the leather pores again and causing secondary pollution. In the selection of protective liquid, it is best to use liquid soft wax specially used for leather office chairs, otherwise the leather will harden and age quickly.
3. Fabric office chair
Fabric office chair is a newly popular fashionable office chair. It has a comfortable touch and a warm and petty-bourgeois feel, which is deeply loved by white-collar women. The cleaning and maintenance methods of fabric office chairs and mesh office chairs are basically the same, but the fabric material is different from the mesh with hollow grids, which is slightly more difficult to clean.
It is best to have a chair cover. Of course, there are also some special designs. For example, the following black and white linen office chair can be disassembled and washed, which is easier to clean. In addition, friends who have fabric sofas at home can easily understand how to clean fabric office chairs.
4. Solid wood office chairs
Wipe gently with a dry cloth, and use a little detergent, but remember not to wipe with a damp cloth after wiping the table, and do not expose it to the sun after wiping, otherwise it will cause the solid wood to rot and reduce the quality of use.
5. Plastic office chairs
Plastic chairs generally have strong static electricity and are easy to absorb dust and dirt. You can clean it with edible soda ash and detergent, or with detergent or more expensive cleaning cream.
