Office Chairs Deep Cleaning

Office chairs take more daily wear than almost anything else in the workplace. Sweat, dust, food crumbs and skin oils build up in the fabric and mesh, castors clog with hair and fluff, and mechanisms stiffen as old grease dries out. Our office chair deep cleaning service brings tired chairs back to a clean, smooth working condition using the same process we use on every chair we refurbish for resale in our refurbished office chairs range.

What is included in an office chair deep clean?

Every chair goes through a full, hands-on five step process rather than a quick wipe down.

1
Steam Clean

Lifts ingrained dirt and stains from seat and back fabric or mesh.

2
Re-Lubricate

Tilt mechanism, gas lift and adjusters move smoothly and quietly again.

3
Polish Frame

Base, arms and exposed parts cleaned and polished to a fresh finish.

4
Clean Castors

Hair, fluff and debris removed so wheels roll freely.

5
Safety Check

Worn or broken parts flagged before they become a problem.

Which office chairs can you deep clean?

We clean all common upholstery types, using the method that suits each material.

Fabric Chairs

Controlled steam cleaning to lift dirt and refresh upholstery without soaking the foam.

Task and operator chairs
Mesh Chairs

Gentle cleaning that protects the weave and tension of the mesh backrest and seat.

Mesh office chairs
Leather Chairs

Surface cleaning suited to leather and faux leather, avoiding harsh moisture.

Leather office chairs

That covers everyday task chairs through to premium ergonomic office chairs and executive chairs from brands such as Herman Miller, Steelcase, Humanscale, Orangebox and Senator. Because we refurbish these chairs every day, we know how each mechanism comes apart and how to service it properly.

Why deep clean office chairs instead of replacing them?

A good quality ergonomic chair is built to last well over a decade. In most cases a chair that looks and feels worn out simply needs cleaning and servicing, not replacing.

How often should office chairs be deep cleaned?

How often depends on how hard the chairs work. Use this as a simple guide:

Hot desks, call centres, schools, healthcareEvery 3 to 6 months
Everyday personal desk chairsEvery 6 to 12 months
Meeting rooms and light useOnce a year

Regular vacuuming and spot cleaning between deep cleans helps chairs stay fresher for longer. If your team works from home or at a DSE workstation, our guide on how to choose an ergonomic office chair and our office chair size guide are also worth a read.

Can you deep clean chairs for a whole office?

Yes. We handle everything from a single chair to large batches for offices, schools and public sector buildings. Let us know how many chairs you have, what types they are and where you are based, and we will confirm the best way to schedule the work around your team.

What if a chair needs more than a clean?

If we find a worn gas lift, cracked armrest, damaged castor or other faulty part during cleaning, we will let you know before doing any extra work.
