Office chair cleaning

Why an office chair gets dirty differently from a sofa

A task chair is often used by one person the whole working day, so the dirt is not scattered but sits in certain places: the middle and front edge of the seat, the armrests and the top of the back. The fabric there has often gone darker, although there is no distinct stain.

The second difference is the seat. It has thick foam, and liquid that gets down to it may stay there longer than in the fabric. So coffee or tea spilt on a chair must be blotted up straight away, not left until the evening.

Fabric, faux leather, leather, mesh back

If the office has mixed chairs, note how many there are of each type. The price and the work may differ, and the specialist needs to know this before setting out.

What to put in the form

• The number of chairs per type, for example 20 fabric task chairs and 4 leather chairs.
• Photos: a whole chair of each type, the label under the seat or on the back, the worst seat.
• When the chairs are not needed: all at the same time or department by department.
• The room: where the chairs can be put if staff are working that same day.
• Address, floor and lift.

When the chair can be used again

The fabric must be dry before anyone sits on it. Drying depends on air humidity, ventilation and the thickness of the foam, so we do not promise a specific time. The Health Inspectorate (Veselības inspekcija) gives 40–60% as comfortable indoor air humidity, and in a room where the air moves, fabric usually dries better.

If you cannot clear all the chairs at the same time, divide them by department or room. Put this in the form, and the specialist will tell you how such work can be planned.

What you can usually expect and what may stay

Cleaning does not restore a sagging seat or worn fabric, as that is not dirt. If a chair is past saving, the specialist will tell you. On ink and other stains: stains on a sofa.

How much office chair cleaning costs

Office chair cleaning costs from €10 per chair, and a dining chair, often used for visitors, from €7. For several chairs the unit price is the same, but for larger volumes we agree the price from the list. The price depends on size, material, how dirty it is, smell and distance.

The minimum order is €45: if the total is lower, you pay €45. So up to four office chairs cost €45, and from the fifth chair the price is worked out per unit. Travel is included in Riga and up to about 15 km outside Riga; further out it is from €10. The full price list is on the prices page.
