Office Chair Bottom Wheels

The following is information about the wheels at the bottom of office chairs:

Cleaning Methods

• Dealing with Hair Entanglement: When the wheels are entangled with hair, use a very small pair of scissors to carefully cut off the tangled hair. However, this method is time-consuming and requires patience to avoid scratching the wheel surface with the scissors.
• Dirt Cleaning: First, remove the entangled hair. Then, wet a used facial cloth and let it air-dry partially. Use the textured side of the cloth to wipe the wheels. You can also wrap the facial cloth around the wheels, secure it with a rubber band, and then sit on the chair and move it back and forth. This will transfer the dirt on the wheels to the facial cloth. Repeat this process several times until the wheels are clean.
• Tips for Preventing Floor Stains: Stick invisible tape on the wheels. When sticking, do not make it too flat; keep it slightly wrinkled. This can prevent the wheels from being too slippery, and after removing the tape, there will be almost no sticky residue on the wheels, effectively preventing the dirt on the wheels from staining the floor.

Fixing Methods

• Wheels with Locking Function: Replace the wheels with ones that have a locking function. When you need to lock the chair, push down the relevant component, and the chair will basically not move. When you need to move the chair, lift the component to unlock it.
• Gravity Wheels: Use gravity wheels. When the chair is subjected to gravity, a mechanism inside the wheels will increase the lateral resistance, making it more difficult to move the chair and thus achieving the effect of fixing the chair.
• Fixed Foot Pads: Use fixed foot pads. Pull them out and insert them into the wheel area to fix the chair.

Removal and Replacement

• Round-Pin Wheels: Simply pull them out directly. If you cannot pull them out with direct force, insert a flat-head screwdriver and tap it. If you do not have enough strength, use pliers to grip the pin and tap it with a hammer.
• Hexagonal Wheels: These wheels have a screw structure. Use a handle to unscrew them and then screw in new wheels.
• Installation: Align the forked wheels with the holes and press them in to complete the installation.
