How Do You Clean a Noblechair?

Cleaning your Noblechair effectively ensures its longevity and maintains its pristine appearance. The cleaning method largely depends on the specific material of your chair, whether it's fabric, PU leather, real leather, or a hybrid. Always identify your chair's material before beginning.

General Maintenance Tips for All Noblechairs

Before deep cleaning, a few regular habits can keep your chair in top condition:

• Regular Dusting: Use a soft, dry cloth or a duster to remove surface dust weekly.
• Wipe Down: For general grime, a slightly damp cloth (water only) can often suffice for hard surfaces like armrests and the chair base.
• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Never use abrasive cleaners, strong solvents, or furniture polish not specifically designed for your chair's material, as these can cause discoloration or damage.
• Test in an Inconspicuous Area: Always test any new cleaning product on a small, hidden part of the chair first to ensure it doesn't cause damage or discoloration.

Cleaning Fabric Noblechairs

Fabric Noblechairs require a specific approach to keep them looking fresh and free from stains.

Step-by-Step Fabric Cleaning

1. Vacuum the Surface: Begin by thoroughly vacuuming the entire surface of your fabric chair. Use an upholstery attachment on your vacuum cleaner to effectively remove loose dust, crumbs, and embedded dirt from the fabric fibers.
2. Apply Fabric Cleaning Foam: Once the surface is vacuumed, apply a cleaning foam specifically designed for fabric furniture. Spray a thin, even layer of the foam over the chair, following the specific instructions provided on the cleaning product's bottle for application and dwell time.
3. Gentle Scrubbing (Optional): If directed by the cleaning foam's instructions or for tougher spots, gently work the foam into the fabric with a soft brush or microfibre cloth.
4. Wipe Away Residue: After the recommended dwell time, use a clean, damp cloth to wipe away any foam residue.
5. Air Dry: Allow the chair to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Do not use the chair until it is fully dry.

Additional Tips for Fabric Care

• Spot Cleaning: For isolated spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Do not rub, as this can spread the stain. For tougher spots, a mild fabric spot cleaner can be used.
• Avoid Over-Saturating: Be careful not to drench the fabric, as excessive moisture can lead to mildew or damage the internal components.

Cleaning PU Leather (Vegan Leather) Noblechairs

PU leather is a synthetic material that is relatively easy to maintain.

Step-by-Step PU Leather Cleaning

1. Wipe Down: Use a soft, damp microfibre cloth to wipe down the entire surface of the chair. For most surface dirt and light stains, plain water is sufficient.
2. Mild Soap Solution: For more stubborn dirt or grime, prepare a solution of lukewarm water and a small amount of mild soap (e.g., dish soap or hand soap). Dampen a cloth with this solution and gently wipe the dirty areas.
3. Rinse and Dry: Wipe the areas again with a clean, water-dampened cloth to remove any soap residue, then dry immediately with a separate dry microfibre cloth to prevent water spots.

Important PU Leather Considerations

• Avoid Abrasives: Do not use abrasive sponges, brushes, or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can damage the PU coating.
• No Leather Conditioners: PU leather does not benefit from genuine leather conditioners; they can actually make the material sticky or degrade it.

Cleaning Real Leather Noblechairs

Genuine leather requires specialized care to prevent drying out, cracking, and maintain its luxurious feel.

Step-by-Step Real Leather Cleaning

1. Dust Regularly: Use a soft, dry cloth to regularly dust the leather surface.
2. Use Leather Cleaner: Apply a dedicated leather cleaner specifically designed for furniture. Follow the product instructions carefully, typically applying a small amount to a clean cloth and gently wiping the leather in small sections.
3. Condition the Leather: After cleaning, it's crucial to condition the leather. A good quality leather conditioner will moisturize the leather, keeping it supple and preventing cracks. Apply the conditioner as directed by the product, usually in circular motions, and then buff off any excess with a clean, dry cloth.
4. Professional Cleaning: For deep stains or extensive cleaning, consider professional leather cleaning services every few years.

Real Leather Care Tips

• Keep Away From Heat/Sunlight: Direct sunlight and heat sources can dry out and fade leather over time.
• Test Products: Always test leather cleaning and conditioning products on an inconspicuous area first.

Cleaning Hybrid Noblechairs

Hybrid chairs typically combine PU leather with other materials like fabric or real leather. For these chairs, treat each material section according to its specific cleaning instructions as outlined above. For example, clean PU leather sections with a damp cloth and fabric sections with fabric foam.

Cleaning Non-Upholstered Components

Don't forget the other parts of your Noblechair:

• Armrests:
  • PU Armrests: Wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap solution if needed, then dry.
  • Metal/Plastic Armrests: Use a damp cloth with a mild all-purpose cleaner, then wipe dry.
• Casters (Wheels):
  • Remove Debris: Turn the chair over and carefully remove any hair, dust, or carpet fibers tangled around the caster axles. Tweezers can be helpful.
  • Wipe Clean: Wipe the wheels and their housings with a damp cloth. For sticky residue, a small amount of rubbing alcohol on a cloth can work, but avoid getting it on upholstered parts.
• Base and Frame: Wipe down metal or plastic bases and frames with a damp cloth and a mild cleaner, then dry thoroughly.

By following these material-specific guidelines and general maintenance practices, your Noblechair will remain a comfortable and stylish centerpiece for years to come. For specific product recommendations, consult the Noblechairs official website or a reputable furniture care specialist.
