II. DIY Refurbishment Steps

1. Basic Cleaning and Maintenance

   • Fabric Chairs: First, use a vacuum cleaner to remove surface dust. For stubborn stains, gently scrub with a neutral detergent and air dry naturally to avoid deformation from soaking.
   • Leather Chairs: Wipe with a specialized cleaner and then apply a conditioner to prevent the leather from cracking. For minor scratches, use a matching color repair paste.
   • Mesh Chairs: Wipe the surface with a damp cloth and use a fine brush to clean dust from the gaps. Avoid using strongly corrosive cleaners.

2. Structural Reinforcement and Repair

   • Loose Screws: Check the screws at the chair legs, armrests, and other connection points. Tighten them one by one with a matching screwdriver to prevent wobbling during use.
   • Stuck Casters: Remove the casters, clean debris from the bearings, and apply a small amount of lubricant before reinstalling to restore smooth sliding.
   • Sinking Gas Lifts: Replace with the same specification gas lift (choose a model that has passed safety certification) to avoid safety hazards caused by self-modification.

3. Appearance Update and Transformation

   • Fabric Chairs: Replace with an elastic chair cover of the appropriate size or remove the old fabric and replace it with new fabric (choose wear-resistant tech fabric, leave a 5 cm edge for securing, and nail every 3 cm to ensure a snug fit).
   • Leather Chairs: For minor wear, use a repair paste. For large-scale damage, apply leather stickers or replace the fabric. If color changing is needed, seek professional services to avoid color differences.
   • Comfort Enhancement: Add back cushions, lumbar pillows, or knitted covers to relieve fatigue from prolonged sitting and enhance aesthetics through color coordination.

Precautions: DIY refurbishment should be carried out according to the material characteristics. For example, leather chairs should avoid exposure to sunlight, and fabric chairs should be regularly de-mited. If structural replacement (such as gas lifts) is involved, it is recommended to choose original parts to ensure safety.
