An ergonomic office chair is one of the smartest investments you can make for your comfort and health at work. At Ergolite, Kerala’s trusted ergonomic chair manufacturer in Trivandrum, we design chairs built to last — but a little care can go a long way in keeping your chair looking and performing like new.
Here’s your simple guide on how to maintain your ergonomic chair the right way.
🧽 1. Clean Regularly — Keep It Fresh and Dust-Free
Your chair collects dust, sweat, and food particles over time. Regular cleaning not only keeps it hygienic but also extends its lifespan.
- Fabric & Mesh Chairs: Vacuum weekly to remove dust. Use a mild soap solution to spot-clean stains.
- Leather or PU Chairs: Wipe down with a soft cloth and use a leather conditioner once every few months.
- Avoid direct sunlight or harsh cleaners that can fade colours or damage upholstery.
🪑 Pro Tip from Ergolite: Always use a soft brush or microfiber cloth to protect the texture of your chair’s upholstery.
🔧 2. Tighten Bolts and Screws Every Few Months
Movement and posture adjustments can loosen screws over time. Every 3–6 months, check all joints, bolts, and armrest screws.
Use the right Allen key or screwdriver to tighten them — just enough to stop wobbling without overtightening.
💺 3. Protect the Gas Lift and Mechanism
The gas lift controls chair height and supports your weight.
- Avoid dropping heavily onto the seat.
- If your chair sinks slowly, the gas lift might need replacement — an easy and affordable fix.
- Keep the mechanism clean and lightly lubricated for smooth motion.
Ergolite’s hydraulic systems are tested for durability, but simple upkeep ensures optimal performance for years.
🛞 4. Clean and Lubricate the Wheels
Kerala’s dust and humidity can affect wheel performance. Flip your chair occasionally to clean the casters.
- Remove hair or debris using tweezers or a brush.
- Spray a light silicone lubricant to maintain smooth rolling on both tiles and carpet.
🧍♂️ 5. Adjust for Proper Posture
If multiple people use the same chair, reset the height, lumbar support, and tilt tension to your comfort each time.
This prevents uneven wear and helps maintain the integrity of the backrest and foam cushioning.
🛡️ 6. Avoid Sharp Objects and Spills
Keep keys, scissors, or sharp tools away from your seat and backrest.
If there’s a spill, clean immediately with a mild cloth to prevent stains or odour build-up.
Using a chair mat also protects both your flooring and chair wheels.
🧰 7. Annual Professional Check
Once a year, consider a professional service or deep clean to maintain your chair’s upholstery and mechanism — especially if your workplace experiences heavy daily use.
