Wooden chair mats are ideal for use over any working surface, from carpets and hardwood flooring to tiles or vinyl floor coverings. As many people are aware, wooden chair mats can ensure a luxurious aspect of your office and can simultaneously offer great functionality. They are usually laminated and treated in order to resist wear, but that doesn't mean that you don't have to do anything to maintain it. If you maintain your wooden laminate chair mats properly, the beautiful color and finishes of the hardwood will last for years.
You can obtain the best results from your wooden chair mat by cleaning it periodically. The instructions are easy for anyone and requires minimal time and effort. Cleaning wooden chair mats is done to achieve three basic purposes. These are to avoid scratches, to avoid staining and to remove any built up dirt and foreign materials.
Successful maintenance of chair mats begins with proper daily care. The chair mat should be checked at least once a week for any stains or dirt that could affect the finish, such as coffee, ink, glue or other things that you use daily on your desk. These stains should be removed as soon as possible to avoid permanent stains to the mat. You can use any of the mild cleaning products recommended for wooden floors and can find such products in local stores that sell cleaning products.
On a weekly or bi-weekly basis, depending on useage, the following steps should be taken to ensure that the mat's life and wearability is extended for as long a time as possible.
- Remove loose grit and debris by sweeping the surface with a broom or a vacuum to avoid surface scratching.
- When needed, clean the wooden chair mats with a solution composed from water and four parts of light detergent. Using a soft cloth dampened in the solution, clean the surface of the chair mat. Avoid leaving large quantities of water or puddles on the mat and avoid spilling the solution under the mat to avoid absorption by the mat materials.
With these simple steps, wood laminate chair mats will practically take care of themselves, other than the occasional cleaning. With a slight bit of care, your wood chair mat will deliver year after year of enjoyable comfort, style and elegance.
