How do I clean vinyl or polyurethane upholstery on an office chair?

Vinyl and polyurethane (PU) upholstery is the easiest to clean — wipe down with a damp cloth and mild soap, then dry with a second cloth. For healthcare or infection-control environments, most commercial vinyl is rated for use with quaternary ammonium disinfectants or diluted bleach (check manufacturer specs for concentration limits). Avoid silicone-based conditioners on PU leather as they can cause surface tackiness. Condition real leather chairs quarterly with a leather conditioner; PU leather doesn't require conditioning. FindOfficeFurniture.com carries antimicrobial vinyl office chairs for clinical environments — call 888-719-4960.
