How do I clean office chairs in Nairobi?

Office chairs — particularly fabric mesh and upholstered executive chairs — accumulate body oils, sweat, dust, and food particles. In Nairobi's warm climate, neglected chairs develop bacteria and odours faster than in cooler environments.

Cleaning by Chair Type

Mesh Office Chairs

• Vacuum mesh with an upholstery attachment to remove dust and debris from the weave
• Wipe hard plastic frame components with a damp microfibre cloth and mild all-purpose cleaner
• Use a soft brush and mild soap solution on the mesh, working in small sections; rinse with a damp cloth
• Allow to air dry fully before use

Fabric Upholstered Chairs

• Vacuum thoroughly including under armrests and at the base of the seat
• Spot treat stains with upholstery cleaner; blot, don't rub
• For a full refresh: apply upholstery shampoo, work in with a soft brush, and extract with a wet-dry vacuum

Leather Executive Chairs

• Wipe with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt
• Clean with leather cleaner; condition with leather conditioner quarterly
• Never use soap or general cleaners on leather

Castor Wheels

• Remove castor wheels and clean accumulated hair and debris from the axle
• Wipe the wheels clean; lubricate if stiff
