What does it take to maintain a gaming chair? It depends on the type of chair you have and how often you use it. The average person spends roughly 15 hours a week on their couch watching TV and doing other things. If a gamer spends an additional 10 hours playing games on their couch, they’ll need to clean their gaming chair as often as they would if they spent an hour a day gaming on their computer. So, what exactly do you need to clean your gaming chair?
check the material of your chair before cleaning
There are three types of fabrics that you can use: high-quality leather, synthetic leather, and faux leather. High-quality leathers are generally the most expensive and have a robust and durable look, and artificial leathers are cheaper and more flexible than leather. On the other hand, Faux leathers look like genuine leather but aren’t quite as durable. Most chairs are made from this material.
- PU Leather
- PVC Leather
- Fabric
- Mesh
Pick up all your clean items
Your next step is to make a list of all of the things you’ll need. I recommend making a list in the same order to use the items. If you’re going to use your vacuum cleaner, start by putting the vacuum cleaner on the list and then go on from there. You can always go back and add things later, but I find that having a few different things to choose from helps me in those moments when I’m stuck.

First, you’ll need to make sure your gaming chair is dry, and this is an excellent time to inspect the cushion, legs, and seat area quickly. Next, take a wet microfiber cloth and wipe down the entire chair, starting with the seat and working your way around the cushion and legs.
