Folding Chairs Maintenance Tips

Hello visitor! Thank you for taking the time to read this article.


Folding chairs are very handy for seating large numbers, indoors or outdoors, and are often durable and easy to maintain. But you can save more money in the long run by maintaining these chairs in the right manner.

When it comes to maintenance, the most obvious concerns are storage and cleaning of these chairs. Storing the chairs properly can be effective in avoiding damage and unnecessary wear and tear on them. That is why, when you store the chairs, it is advisable to use a chair dolly for the same, as it not only takes up less space, but saves the chairs from scratches too. However, chair dolly or not, what you must always do is cover your chairs to protect them from dust. A large tarp or bed sheets, or anything else that you can think of, use it to cover the chairs and keep the dust out.

You must not let the chairs store dust, firstly because it reduces your own effort of having to clean every individual chair before they can be used the next time. Also, too much dust can sneak up in the crevasses and other parts of the chair, and if you miss cleaning them, then they could serve as allergens and irritants to those sitting on them. In other words, you don't want to aggravate any dust allergies that your guests may have, when they sit on or near your chairs. Moreover, dust can be a nightmare to get out of padded folding chairs. Cloth and padding suck up dust deep into them, and that is why you will be required to put in extra efforts to clean the cloth seats and chair backs.

The maintenance of wooden folding chairs is a bit more complicated, as in you have to keep the moisture out too, apart from the dust. So do not store wooden folding chairs in areas with excessive moisture or high temperature. Wood may expand or contract over time, making the frame of a chair unstable and prone to cracking or splintering. You don't want to get new chairs every season, do you? Another thing that you must ensure is that if you have kids, then you need to prevent them from getting hurt from a folding chair, and also, save the chair from damage. Show them how they could get their fingers, toes or another part of their body caught in a folding chair and hurt themselves. Always use chairs with child safety features like locking mechanisms, and keep them nicely maintained.

Lastly the most important storage tip- try to avoid storing folding chairs near excessive heat. Whether you have metal, wood, or molded plastic folding chairs, keep them at a safe distance from heat sources like fireplaces, space heaters, ovens, boilers etc. These heating sources can expose the chairs to excessive heat and can cause the chairs to heat up, and become too hot to use. Wooden chairs are highly susceptible to catching fire if placed too close to sources of excessive heat. Most folding chairs
could face structural damage from exposure to excessive heat. That is why always store them away from heat sources, probably in a cool dry place. Do not forget to cover them properly so that the dust does not get a chance to settle on the chairs. Following all these essential maintenance tips will ensure that the chairs last really long, and you save repair costs too.
