Cleaning Mesh Office Chair Seat EASY! | How to Clean Computer Chair
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
In this video, I show you the proper way how to clean mesh office chair seat without special tools or chemicals, and even restore it almost like new. Out of the many types of swivel chairs, I like the mesh type the best because it allows for better airflow, keeping your back and butt cooler compared to other ones made of leather or water-resistant material.

Just a little reminder before you start washing the cushions and backrest. Always detach or unscrew everything from the base/mechanical parts to avoid corrosion or rust. Most chairs have 4 screws holding the cushion to the metal base, wouldn’t be that hard to unscrew some of them. P.S: doing this can make the drying process easier since you can step on the cushion to push out all of the remaining water from the foam.

I found this video very helpful as I just bought my first office chair (which is coincidentally a mesh one!). However, the legs and stem(?) of the chair is metal, and I think it'd be unavoidable to get those wet. Would it rust? Or are there any other ways to deal with metal legs?

Is there a need to sundry or just air-dry
was able to pop out the mesh on the back of my chair. It started coming out itself and I realized it could all come out and be put back without too much trouble. If you have one of those fully mesh seats you might be lucky enough to be able to remove back and seat then throw it in the wash.
K and other people are applying soap and letting it just dry but wouldn’t there be soap residue remaining? This is a better way.

Hey really liked the video. Just have a question, would doing the same for a non mesh chair harm the cushions? And do you oil the mechanical parts at the bottom of the chair again?
@HanDIYman007
3 жыл бұрын
Hey thanks! If non-mesh but still made of porous fabric, then I think the same method will still work. However, if it is leather or synthetic leather, then the cleaning method will be different (search for other videos on how to clean leather). And no, I don't bother oiling the mechanical parts after cleaning -- I've been doing this for a long time and so far, no squeaking. I leave it up to you if you want to oil the mechanical parts though.

I'm guessing if the seat of the chair is the same type of mesh as the back, that would mean it's just fewer steps? But it would mean more water will flow down into the mechanism. Would doing a partial disassembly be helpful there, to remove the pneumatic mechanism, and clean the seat/back/arms and the base separately? Also, any suggestions on removing long hair that gets tangled around the wheels, when the wheels have a housing around them? I found that extremely difficult, and am hesitant to use Powdered Brewery Wash to dissolve the hair, as I conjecture that it might damage the plastic of the wheels.
@HanDIYman007
3 жыл бұрын
Good questions. If you are willing, able and have the time to disassemble everything before cleaning, sure go ahead. But from my experience, letting it dry under the sun after washing is good enough. Been doing this many times over the years and have not encountered rust (if that's what you're worried about). As for hair in the wheels, there's no easy way to remove those. What would make it a bit easier is to detach the wheels first so you can clean them under better lighting and on top of a table. Try using tweezers or chopsticks if the wheel and the cover have a narrow space.
For anyone asking for how clean wheels, you can: If possible take them out and use a candle for 2 seconds and it cleans it a little but make it better if you do it the right way. If you keep on heating it, that is bad. Use only 1 or 2 seconds heat. After this put some oil like a few drops
