When you think about it, you spend an awful lot of time sitting in your office chair at your desk. It is essential that you are comfortable. That means having an office chair that fits you properly, goes with your décor, and is clean and fresh-smelling.

Over time, you’ve likely spilt a coffee or two or maybe dropped your lunch while eating at your desk. That chair may have accumulated some stains. With a little elbow grease, the right products and tools, you can remove those marks.

Your fabric office chair needs a gentle but deep cleaning to get it spotless again. Here are some proven cleaning methods to clean your fabric office chair and other materials as well.

Fabric Chair Cleaning

To be effective with your chair cleaning, you will need to arm yourself with some basic but trusty tools and products. Get cleaning foam, water-based cleaner, dish soap, dry cloths, and a vacuum with a brush attachment.

Dealing With Spills

If you do happen to spill something on your fabric office chair, use a dry cloth immediately to try to absorb as much of the liquid as you can before it sinks into the fabric. Don’t rub, but rather blot with a dry cloth to draw the liquid out.

Cleaning Instructions for Fabric Office Chairs

For regular cleaning and deep stain removal, start by vacuuming the whole chair with a brush attachment to get rid of any loose debris. Consult the manufacturer’s instructions on the chair to see if there are any limitations to the kind of cleaner you can use.

For example, with some upholstery, you are unable to use water-based cleaners. If this is the case, use a dry cleaner, which comes both in liquid and powder forms. Put a small amount of the cleaner on a dry cloth (don’t apply directly to the chair). Rub gently but firmly to lift any stains out. Afterward, use a damp (not wet) cloth to remove any residue so that you don’t damage the upholstery.

If you are able to use water-based cleaners, you have a few options. Try using a foam cleanser, which you apply to the whole chair and let sit for a few minutes. Using a brush, scour out any stains. After the chair has had time to dry, vacuum it again with the brush attachment to remove residue.

Another water-based cleaning method is to combine dish soap and water. Mix a few drops of soap and water, and dab the stain with the soap and water mixture and wipe it out. Rinse out any extra soap with a damp cloth.
