Alternative Leather - For basic maintenance, clean the whole surface in circular motions using liquid hand soap and water (1 part soap to 9 parts water). Rinse and wipe with a clean damp white cloth to get rid of any excess soap. Repeat as needed and then let dry.
To disinfect with a bleach solution, use 0.5% concentration, which can be prepared as 1 part bleach per 10 parts of water. Rinse and wipe with a clean, damp, white cloth to get rid of any excess. Allow chair to dry thoroughly.
DO NOT USE: Solvents like paint thinner, Varsol, acetone, whiteners, waxes, silicones, detergents, and/or cleaning products that are not pH neutral. Abrasive cleaning tools such as plastic or wire sponges or hard-bristle brushes can permanently damage alternative leather. Never use alcohol.
Fabric - Vacuum the chair. Next use an upholstery brush and spot treat to remove stains. Fill a handheld steam cleaner with water and steam your fabric chair. You can use detergents with some steam cleaners; this will help remove strong odors. Allow the chair to dry thoroughly. Spray the seat with a fabric refresher to complete the deodorizing process.
DO NOT over-saturate the surface with water or other cleaning solutions. This can cause mold and foul odors. Avoid excessive scrubbing as this will set in stains.
Casters First, pull out any large clumps of hair or dirt that are lodged in the wheel. Vacuum the casters using the appropriate attachment or blow out any dirt with compressed air. When the casters are clean, you may use a lubricant, such as WD40, to ensure wheels move as smoothly as possible.
