With flu season and germs spreading, what’s the right way to clean desks and chairs without damaging them?
Different materials need different cleaning approaches. Here's a material-by-material guide:
| Material | Safe Cleaner | Method | Avoid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Laminate Desktops | Mild soap + water or diluted bleach (1:10) | Wipe with damp cloth, dry thoroughly | Excess water at edges (can swell) |
| Plastic Chairs | Disinfectant wipes or mild detergent | Wipe all surfaces, allow to air dry | Abrasive scrubbers (cause scratches) |
| Powder-Coated Metal | Mild soap + water or alcohol wipes | Wipe, dry immediately | Bleach (can corrode coating) |
| Wood Furniture | Wood-safe cleaner or vinegar-water | Damp cloth only, dry quickly | Excess moisture, harsh chemicals |
| Fabric Upholstery | Fabric-safe disinfectant spray | Spray, let dry fully | Over-wetting (mold risk) |
| PET Panels | Vacuum or damp cloth | Gentle wiping, no scrubbing | Harsh cleaners |
