 4.  Clean The Gaming Chair Upholstery

Almost all gaming chairs will come with the manufacturer's recommended cleaning procedure in the instruction manual. If you lost your instruction manual, follow these methods to clean your gaming chair upholstery. 

Look for sweat stains, spills and other dirty areas. PU Leather and PVC Leather will require that you rub the liquid and warm water onto the chair gently with a soft rag or sponge. Mesh material is more fragile and should not be rubbed at all, as this may cause damage. Instead, you should gently blot until you slowly remove stains. Fabric can handle scrubbing with a brush or soft rag.

 5.  Clean Armest, Base, Frame, And Casters

Don't forget the rest of your gaming chair! This part is easy. You may use a soft rag or sponge with warm water and mild detergent. Scrub and wash the armrest, base, and frame parts of your gaming chair. Get down to the wheels and casters as well! Then, dry them with a dry cloth or paper towel. 

 

And you're done! Enjoy your fresh gaming chair and get back to gaming!
