Office chair & commercial upholstery cleaning.

Apex Fabric Care cleans office-chair batches and upholstered seating for Bay Area businesses — task chairs, meeting-room chairs, lobby sofas and waiting-area seating. After-hours work can be requested, and the schedule depends on the number of items, the materials, access and the agreed scope. Send a chair count and a couple of photos and we will confirm a quote and work window.

Office chairs, in batches

A batch of office chairs is the most common commercial upholstery request: anything from a dozen task chairs in a small office to a whole floor. We clean them in place or gather them to a staging area, work through them systematically, and leave them positioned to dry. Mesh-back chairs with fabric seats, fully upholstered task chairs and meeting-room chairs are all routine.

Materials and assessment

Commercial seating uses a wide range of fabrics — polyester and olefin weaves, wool blends, vinyl, leather and mesh. We check the material before choosing a method: hot-water extraction for most woven fabrics, lower-moisture methods for wool or delicate blends, and a wipe-down approach for vinyl. Manufacturer care guidance differs by material, so we do not use one process for everything. If a fabric is not suitable for in-place cleaning, we will say so.

How we count and quote

  • Office and meeting chairs are counted per chair.
  • Sofas and lobby seating are counted by seat, the same way as residential sectionals.
  • Mixed seating — send a rough count of each type and a photo; we confirm the final count on site before starting.
Commercial batches are quoted on the count, materials, condition and access — not on the residential per-chair price list. Request a seating estimate and we will send a written scope.

Working around your team

Most seating jobs can be done after hours, or in sections during the day so other areas stay in use. Tell us the building hours and any check-in requirements and we will plan the order of work with you. Multi-floor or large counts can be phased over more than one visit.

Drying and return to use

Fabric office chairs are typically dry and back at desks within a few hours; thick cushioned lobby seating takes longer. Airflow matters — we position pieces to dry and HVAC helps. We tell you a realistic return-to-use time for your specific items rather than a blanket promise.

Combined carpet and seating quotes, and recurring service

If the carpet needs attention too, we quote both together and schedule them in one window — see commercial carpet cleaning. Seating can also become a recurring service: after the first visit we recommend an interval based on use and condition, and review it with you.

Our work

Our gallery shows the extraction process on real Bay Area furniture, including multi-piece sectional sets cleaned in one visit — the same systematic approach we apply to a room of office chairs. Photos of commercial jobs are published only with the client's permission and will be added as they are documented.

FAQ

Good questions.

Can you clean a batch of office chairs?

Yes — that is our most common commercial request, from a dozen chairs to a whole floor. We clean them in place or at a staging area and leave them positioned to dry.

Which upholstery materials can you assess?

Woven polyester and olefin, wool blends, vinyl, leather and mesh-with-fabric seats. Each is checked first and cleaned with a method suited to it.

How do we count chairs, sofas and mixed seating?

Chairs per chair; sofas and lobby seating by seat. Send rough counts and a photo; we confirm the final count on site before starting.

Can teams keep using other areas during the work?

Yes. We work after hours by request or in sections during the day so unaffected areas stay in use.

What affects drying and return to use?

Fabric type, cushion thickness and airflow. Most office chairs are back at desks within a few hours; thick lobby seating takes longer. We give a realistic time for your items.

Can carpet and upholstery be quoted together?

Yes — one assessment, one written scope, one work window.

Can this become a recurring service?

Yes. After the first visit we suggest an interval based on use and condition and review it with you.
