Maintenance of office furniture

Many companies, after purchasing office furniture, do not know how to maintain and clean it, resulting in an infinite reduction in the service life of office furniture and an increase in unnecessary procurement costs. So, how should we maintain and clean office furniture to extend its service life?

 

1、 Office Furniture Cleaning

1.1 Is the cloth clean

When cleaning and maintaining office furniture, we must first confirm whether the cloth is clean. After cleaning or wiping away dust with a cloth, be sure to flip it over or replace it with a clean cloth before cleaning. Don't be lazy and repeatedly use the dirty side, as this will only cause dust and other dirt to rub against the surface of office furniture repeatedly, damaging the shiny surface of the furniture.

1.2 Choosing the Right Nursing Agent

It is important to choose the right care agent to maintain the original brightness of office furniture. Currently, there are two types of office furniture care products: wax spray and cleaning and maintenance agents. The former mainly targets office furniture made of various materials such as wood, polyester, paint, fireproof plywood, etc., and has two different fresh fragrances of jasmine and lemon. The latter is suitable for office furniture made of various materials such as wood, glass, synthetic wood, or plywood, especially for office furniture made of mixed materials. Therefore, if you can use skincare products that have both cleaning and care effects, you can save a lot of valuable time.

Before using the care spray wax and cleaning and maintenance agent, it is best to shake them well first, and then hold the spray can straight at a 45 degree angle, so that the liquid components in the tank can be completely released without losing pressure. Afterwards, gently spray the dry cloth at a distance of about 15 centimeters, and then wipe the furniture to achieve a good cleaning and maintenance effect.

In addition, remember to wash and dry the cloth after use. As for furniture made of fabric materials, such as fabric sofas and leisure cushions, carpet cleaning and maintenance agents can be used. When using, first use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust, and then spray a small amount of carpet cleaner onto a damp cloth to wipe.

 

2、 Office Furniture Maintenance

2.1 Maintenance of Wooden Office Furniture

The advantage of natural wood office furniture products lies in their seamless wood grain and diverse natural colors. However, as natural wood is a constantly breathing organism, it must be placed in an environment with appropriate temperature and humidity. At the same time, beverages, chemicals, or overheated objects should be avoided from being placed on the surface to avoid damaging the natural color of the wood surface. If it is made of melamine board material, when there is a lot of dirt, you can use diluted neutral cleaner mixed with warm water to wipe it once, and then wipe it with clean water. Remember to use a soft dry cloth to wipe off any remaining water stains. After it is completely wiped clean, use maintenance wax to polish it bright, and even if it is a great achievement, it is considered successful. Only by paying attention to daily cleaning and maintenance can wooden office furniture last forever.

2.2 Maintenance of Leather Office Furniture

Leather has good properties such as heat resistance, moisture resistance, and ventilation. In addition, the natural weave of genuine leather is relatively non directional, and it exhibits even elasticity whether placed flat or hanging; In addition, the dyeing of genuine leather is not easy to fade, and it has an elegant color, excellent touch, and bright appearance, so it has always been popular among consumers. But how can we maintain the attractive appearance of genuine leather products? Daily cleaning is key. General maintenance only requires gently wiping with a clean and soft cloth. If you want to clean the dirt generated by long-term use, the most ideal way is to first wipe with a neutral cleaning agent diluted with warm water (1% -3%), then wipe off the cleaning solution with wrung out water, and finally polish with a dry cloth. After it is completely dry, use an appropriate amount of leather maintenance agent to wipe evenly.

2.3 Maintenance of Fabric Furniture

The fabric most commonly used in chairs and sofas, with its comfortable touch and rich colors, makes the expressions of traditional furniture more diverse. Common maintenance methods: When it comes to dry dirt such as dust and sand, simply gently pat it off or use a vacuum cleaner to clean it. For granular sand, you can use a brush to gently brush inward, but do not use a hard brush to avoid damaging the fabric surface. If it comes into contact with beverages or fruit juice, you can first use a hand towel to absorb moisture, then dissolve neutral detergent in warm water to wipe, then use a clean soft cloth to dry, and finally dry at low temperature.

 

2.4 Maintenance of Steel Furniture

Solid and durable steel furniture is the most common in offices, especially ideal cabinets and other products, which are indispensable storage tools in offices. Steel office furniture is presented on the exterior, and its maintenance method can be wiped with a soft cloth, but avoid using rough, organic solvents (such as grease, cleaning oil) or wet cloth blocks to wipe, as these are the main causes of scratches and rust.

In order to extend the service life of office furniture, in addition to daily cleaning and maintenance, the following points should also be noted:

1. Avoid direct sunlight: Prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause discoloration, cracking, and other issues on the surface of office furniture. Therefore, it is advisable to avoid placing office furniture in areas with direct sunlight or using shading items such as curtains and sunshades.

If these problems are not dealt with in a timely manner, they will affect the service life of office furniture. Therefore, regular inspections and maintenance should be carried out.
