How Do You Clean a Fabric Office Chair

17/08/2022

To clean your fabric office chair, you can quickly do the following: 

  • Vacuum (with a brush attachment) the whole chair to get rid of loose debris 
  • If there are stains, use a mixture of dish soap and water and dab it on stain, wipe it out and use a damp cloth to remove what’s left of the soap mixture 
  • Use a water-based or dry cleaner (depends on your chair’s upholstery and manufacturer instructions). Apply a small amount on a dry cloth (don’t apply directly to your office chair) and rub it gently on the stains 

You should be gentle here so you won’t ruin the upholstery. This way, your fabric office chair will keep its normal appearance and remain useful for years to come. 

Should you hire a professional? 

If you’re worried about damaging the upholstery or the stains and discolouration are already severe, it’s good to hire a professional to do the work. The professional will carry out the deep cleaning as well as the disinfection and deodorisation. After the process, most likely the office chair will look new and smell good. 

Aside from the stain removal and deep cleaning, you might also want your office chair to undergo disinfection and deodorisation. If there’s a faint lingering smell in your work area, it might be coming from your fabric chair. Particles and spills might have penetrated the fabric and became a thriving habitat for bacteria and mould. 

To ensure total deodorisation, disinfection and stain removal, a professional will apply the appropriate product and solution to get the job done. Knowledge about the fabric and whether it’s all right to use the solution is critical before starting the cleaning. The wrong choice or application of the product can ruin the upholstery and make you throw away the entire chair.
