My office chair stinks even though I wash it with carpet cleaner every few weeks. Fellow 24/7 WFH workers, how do you keep your office chair clean?

Wear pants (no direct skin contact, and no sweaty gym clothes), shower in the morning, switch to a chair with mesh so it has airflow.

Sounds more like a personal hygiene issue and less so your chair.

Lol I also wanna share that I wash my ass😂.

Could it be that the cushion got mold over time? The chair is ~8 years old. And the problem started recently. If so, is the only option to buy a new one or there is cleaners for that?

SSA1 - Yes. I have a Bissel machine at home. I clean it with that every 3-4 weeks.

PS1 - that must be it

SC1 - fair point 😂

Pro tip: Do a Google search for Herman Miller chairs in your area. Sometimes warehouses have tons of them bought from bankrupt companies and they’re in great shape and super cheap.

Although I’ve never put an effort in to smell my seat…there’s no lingering smell coming from it at all. Just came from a company that went under and had to sell it all off. Got a Herman Miller Aeron size small for $100. That’s a steal.

Wet your toilet paper before wiping

You know they make moist toilet paper, right?

Chair material is key. Mesh/plastic/leather keeps less sweat and odor than fabric. If fabric, keep clean before sitting and avoid farting.

Not to pile on, but morning shower with body wash should be enough for 99% of people.

Consider wearing loose fitting underwear (boxers instead of briefs). If it's warm, you might even consider antiperspirant. This isn't necessary for most people, but some people will benefit from this.

Get a new chair. Sounds like the chair is not fully drying out.

I only wipe my chair with cloth but still it doesn’t stink. May be check your entire house.

Or maybe check things other than the chair and the house

Can you describe the nature of stink? That will determine the solution.

Like humid fabric, a tad like plastic. There is a bit chemical undertone if that makes sense.

Joining a big firm next week as fully remote lateral and flying out to home office for orientation. The schedule has me in office until 4:15. I’ve already been told I won’t have any actual work. Depending on how many people are there and how it feels, I was planning to stay an hour extra but should I hang around the office until later? First time visiting this city so it’d be great to take in some sights too (although that’s not a priority of course).
