Maintaining your office furniture is an essential part of running a successful business. Investing in office furniture is a major expense, which is why you want to ensure you extend the lifespan of the furniture as much as possible. With regular office furniture maintenance, you can keep your office looking and smelling great, while avoiding unexpected costs.
Office furniture maintenance helps to prevent damage, extend lifespan, and avoid repairs or replacement.
Regular cleaning is essential to keep your office furniture in good shape. Dust and dirt accumulates on surfaces, which can lead to scratches, odours, and damage. We recommend vacuuming upholstery regularly, while wiping down tables, desks, and other materials with a microfibre cloth to remove dust effectively.
Dust can be removed from wooden furniture with a soft cloth. Do not use water or harsh chemicals on your furniture. We also recommend you have your upholstery professionally cleaned every few months, ensuring any dust and dirt deep in the fibres is effectively removed.
Excessive moisture and sunlight can cause your furniture to fade, crack, warp, or discolour. Furniture should also be kept out of direct sunlight to prevent damage.
The manufacturer's instructions are important to office furniture maintenance. This ensures you use the correct cleaning products and methods when cleaning your furnishings. When you use the incorrect products or methods, you can cause damage, and void the manufacturer's warranty.
Repairs should be addressed quickly, reducing the risk of any further damage. This means inspecting your office furniture from time to time, tightening screws, replacing missing hardware, or using a professional furniture repair service to reduce the risk of damaging the furniture further.
