Let's face it: most of us are messy gamers. We eat snacks while we play, we spill drinks, and we probably don't clean our gaming chairs nearly as often as we should.
But even the messiest among us have to admit that a clean gaming chair is a pretty awesome feeling. Not only does it look better, but it also feels better - and who doesn't want that?
Plus, if you're trying to impress a special someone with your cleanliness (cough, cough), then a clean gaming chair is the way to go. So how do you clean a gaming chair? Keep reading and find out!
Step One: Vacuum It Out
The first step in cleaning your gaming chair is to vacuum it out.
Yes, even if you don't think there's anything in there, there probably is. Dust bunnies have a way of sneaking into the smallest of spaces, so it's best to just get rid of them before they have a chance to take over.
Use a soft brush attachment on your vacuum cleaner so you don't damage the fabric.
If you have a leather, PU, or PVC chair, you can skip this step. Leather is pretty easy to keep clean - just use a damp cloth to wipe down the surface every now and then.
Step Two: Spot-Clean Any Stains
Once you've vacuumed out your gaming chair, it's time to spot-clean any stains.
For fabric chairs, start by mixing together equal parts of water and white vinegar in a bowl. Dip a clean cloth into the mixture and use it to blot at the stain until it disappears.
If the stain is particularly stubborn, you can try using a mild laundry detergent instead of the vinegar solution. Just be sure to test it in an inconspicuous area first to make sure it won't damage the fabric.
For leather chairs, simply mix together equal parts water and soap in a bowl and use a damp cloth to wipe down the surface. You may need to go over stubborn stains multiple times before they disappear.
Conclusion:
Cleaning your gaming chair may not be the most exciting task in the world, but it's definitely worth doing - especially if you want to keep your parents off your back!
By following these simple steps, you can easily get your gaming chair looking (and feeling) like new again. So, what are you waiting for? Get cleaning!
