Are your dining room chairs looking a bit dirty? Are you considering having them cleaned but don't know where to start? Don't worry! We at Randstad Furniture Cleaning take you through everything you need to know about professionally cleaning your chairs. Whether it's dining room chairs, office chairs or armchairs, we're happy to share our knowledge to make your furniture shine again.
Why should you have your chairs cleaned?
Let’s face it: we don’t often think about cleaning our chairs. But if you take a closer look, you’ll be amazed at what accumulates on your chairs. Here are five reasons why you should have your chairs cleaned:
- Hygiene: Imagine how much dust, dirt and bacteria accumulate on your chairs over time. Brrr! A thorough cleaning removes these invisible threats to your health.
- Lifespan: Do you want to enjoy your favourite armchair for longer? Regular cleaning helps. It removes abrasive dirt particles and keeps the material in top condition.
- Aesthetics: There is nothing as nice as coming home to a fresh, clean environment. Clean chairs give your interior an instant boost.
- Smell: Have you ever smelled your chairs? Try it. Surprised? Professional cleaning removes unpleasant odors that have settled in the upholstery.
- Allergies: Do you sneeze a lot in your home? Your chairs can be a source of allergens. Think dust mites and dander. A thorough cleaning can reduce your allergy symptoms.

Different types of chairs and cleaning methods
Just as you don’t wash all your clothes the same way, different chairs require different cleaning methods. Let’s take a look at the most common types:
Have your dining room chairs cleaned
Dining room chairs take a lot of wear and tear. Think of that time your little boy dropped his spaghetti, or you accidentally spilled some red wine. When cleaning dining room chairs, we usually combine steam cleaning with special cleaning agents. This way, we tackle even the most stubborn stains.
Cleaning office chairs
Did you know that your office chair probably has more dust and dander than your keyboard? Creepy, right? We thoroughly clean office chairs by vacuuming them first and then damp cleaning them. We pay special attention to the armrests and wheels – places where dirt likes to accumulate.
Clean armchairs and lounge chairs
Ah, your favorite place to relax. But did you know that your comfortable armchair is also a gathering place for dirt and bacteria? Depending on the material, we use steam cleaning or dry cleaning. For delicate fabrics, we have special, mild cleaning methods.
Cleaning garden chairs
Your garden chairs brave the elements. That's why they deserve extra attention. We often use high-pressure water cleaning for these sturdy outdoor seats. That way, they become fresh and clean again, ready for your next garden party.

Have chairs professionally cleaned vs. doing it yourself
“Can’t I just clean my chairs myself?” is something we often hear. Of course, you can try. But there are good reasons to opt for professional help:
Benefits of professional chair cleaning:
- We clean thoroughly and effectively. Our equipment is more powerful than what you have at home.
- We know all the ins and outs of different materials and cleaning methods.
- You save time. Go do something fun while we take care of your chairs.
- Less risk of damage. We know exactly what we are doing.
Disadvantages of cleaning chairs yourself:
- You have limited access to professional cleaning products.
- There is a risk that you will damage the upholstery.
- The result may not be as thorough as you had hoped.
- It takes a lot of time and energy.
How often should you have your chairs cleaned?
“How often should I actually do this?” is a question we often get. The answer depends on a few factors:
- How intensively do you use the chairs?
- Do you have pets or children?
- What type of upholstery do the seats have?
- Are they in the sun? (For garden furniture)
As a rule of thumb, we recommend that dining room chairs and other frequently used chairs be professionally cleaned at least once a year. For chairs that are used less often, cleaning every two years may be sufficient.
Tips for maintenance between professional cleanings
Want to keep your chairs looking good for longer between our visits? Here are some tips:

- Scents: Some odors are deep-seated. We use deep cleaning and special odor-removing products.
- Discoloration: This is tricky. Sometimes we can bleach gently, but full recovery is not always possible.
