How to Maintain Clean Upholstery on Office Furniture

Clients and business partners are important components of a successful growing business. They often come and visit the office and keeping them comfortable is key to establishing and continuing a good and healthy relationship.  However, nothing can be more unnerving than having to usher your business guests onto a seat with grimy looking upholstery.

Just like in your own homes, you want your guests to feel comfortable and at ease in your office to create a conducive environment for business.  Having well-kept and well-groomed furniture speaks volumes about the working ethics of your company.

Office furniture and partitions capture and collect dust and if these are not thoroughly cleaned, it can lead to dust mites.  Dust mites can alter the office's indoor air quality and can cause allergies through their droppings.  You do not want anyone getting sick.  So, always remind your maintenance crew to clean furniture upholsteries and not just sweep around and under them.

Here are some easy and great tips from RPC Cleaning on how to keep your office upholstery clean:

• Have your furniture's upholstery brushed or scrubbed regularly.  Remove loose dirt and dust by using a dusting brush. Vacuuming is also significant.  Always remove the cushions (if they are removable) and give them a separate brushing including every side.  This will ensure that there won't be any dirt left in between the cushions once reassembled.
• Check for stains in your upholstery.  If you are under a tight budget, a simple detergent or cleaning solution and a sponge can go a long way.  Just allow the cleaning solution to penetrate the stains for several minutes and wipe the upholstery with a cloth and let it dry.  Of course, make sure that the solution you use will not cause more stains or make your upholstery's colour fade, by testing it on an inconspicuous area of the furniture.
• For leather seats and covers, it is important that you do more than just clean it.  You have to regularly condition and protect it to keep that glossy and rich quality.  It takes extra special care to clean leather upholstery, but it is easy to maintain by regularly wiping it down with a clean, dry soft cloth.

Finally, one of the most practical and best ways to maintain clean upholstery in office furniture is to invest money in hiring professional cleaning services from trusted and well established companies.
