How to Clean Your Office Chair

Office chairs—especially highly adjustable chairs—tend to have nooks and crannies where lint, dust, crumbs, and hair can hide and accumulate. We’ll help you clear those out, whether you have an upholstered or non-upholstered chair.

Obviously, if your chair has cleaning instructions, either attached to the chair or on the manufacturer’s website, follow those guidelines first and foremost. For example, Herman Miller has a care and maintenance guide for Aeron chairs (PDF). Most of our recommendations here are based on Steelcase’s surface materials guide (PDF), which covers different types of chair materials.
