Even without the help of a global pandemic, most of us have spent much of our time, work and leisure, behind our desks. It means that our beloved office or gaming chair is used a lot. Here are some key tips on how to keep your chair in the best possible condition for years to come.
Fortunately, simple maintenance can make the essential difference. Here are some helpful tips, courtesy of Bzfuture, to keep your chair in the best possible condition for many years to come.
Sweat is not your friend
Polyurethane (or PU) leather is often the preferred coating for gaming chairs. Although there are different quality levels for PU leather, all levels can have a tendency to peel off with repeated contact with sweat. and friction. Unfortunately, once peeling has started, it is impossible to restore it. We can’t prevent you from running out of pants, but for the sake of your beloved chair, maybe you should add a towel?
Determine a stool cleaning day
A very good habit is to clean the stool thoroughly every two weeks or even every week. This regular cleaning routine will help minimize dirt and grime that inevitably builds up. If you’re looking for even better results or have those pesky stains, consider adding a leather cleaner when cleaning your chair. If your chair is upholstered in genuine leather, apply leather conditioner to it at least every three months to keep it fresh and supple.
Good old TLC
Try to keep abrasive or sharp objects away from the leather of the chair. Another good idea is to keep the room temperature cool and protect the chair from direct sunlight or heat.
Keep things dry
Keep any liquids away from the upholstery of your precious chair, especially if it is made of fabric or suede. Minimize the risk of accidental spills as much as possible.
However, if accidental spillage is unavoidable, quickly dab the liquid onto the fabric with a dry cloth or paper towel. DO NOT rub the fabric as this can cause more staining! Gently clean stubborn stains with a fabric cleaner.
If you want to clean fabric surfaces as part of your regular maintenance routine, first vacuum up loose particles and dirt before applying the fabric cleaner. For suede surfaces, first use a dry microfiber cloth to clean the grain of the suede.
Go stuck
While it may be tempting to go for a softer chair, in general it is even better to opt for a moderately firm seat that will better retain its shape and integrity even after prolonged use. In general, it is also better for your posture because it conforms better to the natural curve of your back rather than the softer stools that encourage poor posture.
