A recliner chair is, without a doubt, among the types of sitting apparatuses that can bring you comfort day in and day out. It can also aid in lessening the occurrence of bodily pains, from your neck, lower back, spine, hips, and to your joints.
How to maintain your recliner chair and keep it in excellent condition for a long period of time is a step towards ensuring supported sitting, whether you’re in the office or at home.
1. Regular Dusting
Something as simple as dusting your recliner every day can make a huge difference in prolonging its “life”. Experts say that doing so at least every other day is good enough. It isn’t that dust can age furniture. Although this may be a contributor to the latter when left unattended through years on end. But the act of dusting is an indirect approach to buffing the material of the recliner. Hence, more shine, and a lower likelihood of the chair appearing old and worn-down.
2. Cloth-Wiping
Just like the first, cloth-wiping can aid in the proper maintenance of a recliner. It’s a very practical method for getting rid of dirt and small spots of removable stain— ones that can’t be eliminated by dusting alone.
Ask your supplier about the material of your recliner to know what kind of cloth to use on it. Generally, basic soft-cloths will do the trick. You can also choose lint-free cloth. This way, lint won’t get stuck in and around the corners of your chair, especially in areas that are difficult to reach.
3. Mid-Intensity Vacuum
Another approach to getting into the nooks and crannies of your recliner: vacuuming. We say “mid-intensity” because amping up the suction power of such cleaning devices may harm the material of the chair more than help maintain it.
If there are areas that are riddled with stubborn dirt and food particles, don’t try to scrub them off. You might risk damaging the upholstery’s surface. Instead, utilize a small-nozzle vacuum.
4. Cleaning Products
When it comes to cleaning products, we recommend that you use them sparingly. Once a week or once every two weeks will work just fine. Or as needed (i.e. food and/or drink stains). Do not use detergent and similar products on your recliner. Your supplier can give you pointers as to what type of cleaning products are deemed safe for your recliner.
For recliners that are lined with leather, leather conditioners are the ideal choice. They can freshen up the chair while giving it a nice shine after. In addition to this, there are certain leather conditioners that even have the extra feature of containing protectants. An add-on to lengthening the life of your upholstery.
5. Immediacy Is Key
Having a best mission style recliner chair is a definite advantage, and maintaining it isn’t as complicated as many think. But a reminder to constantly carry out is “immediacy” on the topic of effectively cleaning it. Immediacy in case food and drinks or any other similar sources of stains are spilt on it, that is.
The longer you tarry before doing so, the more difficult it will be to wipe them off. Worse, there are some stains that leave traces on furniture when not cleared immediately. So, wipe them off as soon as they fall on your recliner chair.
6. Oiling Reclining Parts
This will require that you refer to the instructions and/or maintenance manual your chair comes with. It’s normal for recliners to have their reclining mechanisms slow down over time. Still and all, that isn’t the end of the road. A little bit of oil can bring back their mechanism to life for smoother operations.
In the event that you are unsure of how to go about oiling key parts of the recliner, let your supplier provide you with directions regarding this.
