5 tips to keep your office furniture looking like new

Furniture Care Tips

9/20/2017

Office furniture is just like anything else. It's an investment that needs to be taken care of properly. Regular maintenance will ensure it will last a long time.

Here are 5 simple tips that can help you make your office furniture last:

Wipe down furniture with a clean, damp cloth (not too wet) on a regular basis. This maintenance will help you avoid having to use stronger chemical-based cleaning products.
Avoid keeping any furniture, especially leather, in direct sunlight to minimize fading.
Clean spills up right away; liquids can cause warping or ripples in wood and upholstery if they're allowed to settle into your furniture.
Consult your user manual or do some research to determine the right cleaning solution for your furniture's material (wood, metal, chrome, fabric, leather, vinyl, plastic, etc.). Using improper cleaning products can permanently damage or stain your furniture.
Tighten fastenings on a regular basis. Loose screw and bolts can easily strip, come loose, and cause accidents. They also cause your furniture to break down sooner.

I like the suggestion of regularly wiping down furniture with a damp cloth to avoid having to use strong chemicals on it. Less is more seems to be the best idea when it comes to taking care of most furniture. I'm getting ready to move and I want to buy some new pieces of furniture, so this will be helpful in making sure that I keep them in great condition.

It's really important to consider the kind of material that's on the furniture piece before you start cleaning it so that you don't end up using the wrong chemicals which may possibly damage it.

Laminated furniture need to be clean by aerosol only and not with a wet cloth because it will create a ripple or warping. It's always a must to know what type of cleaning agent you use to clean every furniture.

You made a great point when you said that you should keep any furniture away from direct sunlight. My wife and I just moved into a new house, and we have been thinking about purchasing some new furniture for our front room and our patio. We will be sure to leave our indoor furniture away from the sun and we will find chair covers for our outdoor furniture.

I didn't know that leather could fade in the sunlight! I've had the same leather couches for a few years that have never seen the light of day, and I guess I should be glad they haven't! I'll make sure to keep them in my basement so they don't get ruined,

I like how you said that you should clean any spills immediately to prevent them from settling into your furniture and ruining their looks. My boss recently got some new chairs to decorate the office with, and he wants to make sure that they stay in good condition for as long as possible. I'll share this information with him so that he can make sure that all spills get cleaned from the upholstery immediately.
