You probably spend most of your working day seated in an office chair at your desk. As you work, it is very important that you feel comfortable. In order to achieve this, you need an office chair that fits you properly, fits your décor and smells fresh.
As time goes on, employees spill coffee and other drinks or accidentally drop their lunch at the office. Consequently, office chairs get dirty and stained. When you multiply this by an office of 20 or a large office of hundreds, you have the perfect breeding ground for germs and bacteria to thrive and therefore need cleaning.
Spotless Carpet Cleaning Oshawa is a cleaning company that specializes in office chair cleaning for 15 years now. As part of our comprehensive package of services, we ensure that your office chairs are properly cleaned and scented for your staff.
Fabric Office Chair Cleaning Services
It is important that office chairs are cleaned on a regular basis to ensure a hygienic working environment. Cleaning services are available from Spotless Carpet Cleaning Oshawa for all types of office chairs. There are too many types of office chairs to list, but two of our most commonly cleaned office chairs are the task chair and the traditional fabric office chair.
Fabric Office Chair Cleaning
It is essential to clean fabric chairs in order to remove dirt, dust, and allergens. Fabric chairs are cleaned with a deep-cleaning solution that is also effective in removing stains, spills and spots.
We clean chairs using a pH-balanced, alcohol- and fragrance-free solution that is safe for humans and fabrics of chairs. In our cleaning process, we got right deep into the fibres of the chair to remove dirt and other particles without damaging the fabrics or leaving residue behind. In the case of fabric-based task chairs, cleaning is similar to cleaning fabric chairs.
The following is a summary of the typical office chair cleaning process that Spotless Carpet Cleaning Oshawa takes part in.
Step #1
Using a commercial-grade upholstery vacuum, all loose dirt and debris will be removed from both the chair’s outer surface as well as the chair’s inner lining or fabric upholstery (if removable).
Step #2
Soft-bristled brushes are used for scrubbing the fabric of office chairs. By doing this, you will loosen up the fabric fibres in the office chair.
Step #3
The deep steam cleaning of your office chair follows. We attach special attachments to our upholstery cleaner so that it can hold the upholstery taut while we insert long, stiff plastic blades into its crevices and seams, working from top to bottom. We may choose to use a dry cleaning method depending on the type of material used in your office chair.
Step #4 (Optional)
We then apply a fresh coat of sealant to protect the upholstery. With the sealant, the chair is less likely to be stained from other stains like liquids and food. In addition, it prevents the buildup of germs and allergens in the future.
Benefits of Office Chair Cleaning
Upholstered furniture, like office chairs, can last a long time when properly maintained. However, it can also impact your employees if it’s not taken care of.
Investing in regular upholstery cleaning is well worth the expense. Everyone feels more at ease in an office where the chairs are clean and have a pleasant smell. This indirectly shows your staff that they are cared for. Dirty and stained chairs that are not properly swept and cleaned imply to your employees that the boss is not caring for their wellbeing. Something you’d rather not experience.
Hiring a professional chair cleaning company such as Spotless Carpet Cleaning Oshawa offers a number of benefits:
Saves Time
In order to obtain the level of cleanliness that a trained professional attains, it is impossible to clean office chairs on your own. Additionally, renting a steam cleaner and trying to do the job yourself will cost you a lot of time and money. In more severe cases, the chairs may even be damaged if the cleaning process is not conducted correctly.
Servicing All Types of Fabric
With regards to the type of fabrics that most office chairs are made from, Spotless Carpet Cleaning Oshawa has a great deal of experience in them. Every type of fabric requires a similar process, however, there may be slight differences to take into consideration that we understand like the back of our hands.
Prolongs Office Chair Lifespan
By regularly cleaning your office chairs, you will avoid premature wear and tear. The key to extending the life of an office chair is to keep it clean so stains, spots, dirt and grime do not have a chance to damage the fabric and padding underneath.
Kills Bacteria & Germs
By steam cleaning office chairs, you can eliminate bacteria, microorganisms, and other germs, making the office a safer and more hygienic place to work. Furthermore, it will eliminate mold, mildew, and fungi that may be causing adverse health outcomes in the workspace.
Restores Appearance
Professional upholstery cleaning usually restores the fabric’s vibrancy and appearance. It is recommended that, in order to keep your office chairs looking good and lasting longer, you hire a professional cleaning service.
Improves Indoor Air Quality
If you invest in professional office chair cleaning, you’ll likely notice an improvement in the quality of your office’s indoor air. The reason is that your office chairs can harbour dirt, dander, dust, pollen, and mold, which are removed during the cleaning process. Having moved stains and other sources of odour, your surrounding environment will smell better.
Office Chair Care and Maintenance
While there are many small things you can do to keep office chairs clean, they do require some time and effort on your part. Take the following simple steps to ensure that your office chairs remain in good condition for many years and that you get the most out of your investment.
Regular Cleaning
Cleaning a chair on a regular basis is very important regardless of the material used to manufacture it. Chairs need to be cleaned properly to get rid of accumulated dust and dirt. Another option is to use a vacuum cleaner. Just be careful that the brush attachment doesn’t scratch the chair. For safety, use a lower level of suction with the vacuum cleaner. It is best if your regular nighttime office cleaners take care of this, adding it to their to-do list once a week.
TIP – If any spills or stains occur on the seat of your office chair, train your staff to notify the manager rather than cover them up. Using a clean, dry cloth, gently dab any excess liquid. Do not rub or wipe the stained area because such action could push the stain further in and possibly cause damage to the padding.
No Harsh Cleaners
Cleaning the chair requires using a specific cleaning solution. In order to determine what type of cleaner can be used on the fabric, it is recommended that you review the cleaning instructions provided by the manufacturer. According to the pH level that is recommended, it could be neutral, acidic, or alkaline. The same can be said for all office furniture, it does not just have to be a chair.
Office Chair Casters (Wheels) Maintenance
Maintaining fabrics isn’t the only aspect of chair maintenance. Another part of an office chair that is important is its casters. As you use this chair daily, it is exposed to a lot of dust and dirt from your shoes, carpet, and other items. These items become caught in the caster and interfere with its mobility. While you move the chair, you can also use a vacuum cleaner to clean the wheels. This may not sufficiently clean the wheels, so they can be dismantled and cleaned.
After the wheels are cleaned, you can apply any lubricant to make sure they move smoothly. Do not forget to clean the chair’s legs as well. And don’t forget that office chairs stay in office cubicles. And office cubicle and partition cleaning are also important.
