Cleaning and maintenance tips for office furniture of various materials

In daily life, we often need to clean and maintain office furniture to keep it shiny. However, you may not know that some incorrect cleaning and maintenance methods, while temporarily making our office furniture clean, actually cause potential damage. With increased use, your office furniture will develop irreparable problems. Below, the editor from Henan Huadu Times Furniture will introduce how to clean and maintain office furniture of various materials.

I. Practical Tactics for Office Furniture Maintenance

Wooden office furniture maintenance

The greatest advantage of natural wood office furniture lies in its naturally beautiful wood grain and varied natural colors. Because natural wood is a living organism that "breathes," it must be placed in an environment with suitable temperature and humidity. Avoid placing beverages, chemicals, or excessively hot objects on the surface to prevent damage to the natural color of the wood. For melamine board, when heavily soiled, use a diluted neutral detergent with warm water to wipe it once, then wipe with clean water. Remember to wipe away any remaining water stains with a soft, dry cloth. After completely cleaning, apply a polishing wax to make it shine. Only by paying attention to daily cleaning and maintenance can wooden office furniture remain as good as new for a long time.

Leather office furniture maintenance

Leather possesses excellent heat resistance, moisture resistance, and breathability. Furthermore, the natural fibers of genuine leather are relatively non-directional, exhibiting uniform elasticity whether laid flat or hung. In addition, genuine leather is resistant to fading and boasts elegant colors, a superb feel, and a lustrous appearance, making it a long-time favorite among consumers. How can you maintain the beautiful appearance of genuine leather products? Regular cleaning is key. For general maintenance, simply wipe gently with a clean, soft cloth. To remove dirt accumulated over time, the ideal method is: first, wipe with a neutral detergent diluted in warm water (1%-3%), then wipe away the detergent with wrung-out water, and finally polish with a dry cloth. After it is completely dry, apply a suitable amount of leather conditioner evenly.

Maintenance of fabric office furniture

The fabric most commonly used in chairs and sofas, with its comfortable feel and rich colors and patterns, adds more variety to traditional office furniture. Common maintenance methods: When it gets dusty, sandy, or other dry dirt, simply pat it away or vacuum it. For granular sand, you can gently brush it inwards with a soft brush, but do not use a hard-bristled brush to avoid damaging the fabric. If it gets spilled with drinks or juice, first absorb the moisture with paper towels, then wipe it with warm water dissolved in a neutral detergent, then dry it with a clean, soft cloth, and finally tumble dry on a low heat.

Steel office furniture maintenance

Durable steel office furniture is the most common type of furniture in offices, especially products like the Ideal Cabinet, which are indispensable storage tools. For the exterior parts of steel office furniture, maintenance involves wiping with a soft cloth. However, avoid using rough materials, organic solvents (such as turpentine or stain remover), or damp cloths, as these are the main causes of scratches and rust.

II. Practical Tactics for Cleaning Office Furniture

Clean cloth

When cleaning and maintaining office furniture, always make sure the cloth you are using is clean. After cleaning or wiping away dust, be sure to turn the cloth over or use a clean one. Don't be lazy and reuse the soiled side repeatedly, as this will only cause dirt to rub against the surface of the office furniture repeatedly, which will damage the glossy surface.

Choosing the right care products

To maintain the original shine of office furniture, there are currently two types of office furniture care products available: office furniture polish spray wax and cleaning and maintenance agents. The former is primarily designed for office furniture made of various materials such as wood, polyester, paint, and fire-retardant laminate, and comes in two refreshing scents: jasmine and lemon. The latter is suitable for office furniture made of various materials such as wood, glass, composite wood, or melamine board, and is particularly suitable for office furniture made of mixed materials. Therefore, using a care product that combines cleaning and maintenance can save a lot of valuable time.

Before using care spray wax and cleaning and maintenance agents, it is best to shake them well first. Then, hold the spray can upright at a 45-degree angle to allow the liquid components inside to be fully released without losing pressure. Afterward, lightly spray it onto a dry cloth from a distance of about 15 centimeters. Then, wipe office furniture and flagpoles using this method for excellent cleaning and maintenance results.

In addition, remember to wash and dry the cloth after use. For office furniture with fabric upholstery, such as upholstered sofas and cushions, you can use carpet cleaner. To use, first vacuum up the dust, then spray a small amount of carpet cleaner onto a damp cloth and wipe.
