5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance will help preserve the appearance and functionality of your Ticova office chair:

• Cleaning: For fabric and mesh surfaces, use a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. For plastic and metal parts, wipe with a damp cloth.
• Check Fasteners: Periodically check all screws and bolts to ensure they are tight. Re-tighten if necessary to prevent wobbling or noise.
• Caster Care: Keep casters clean from hair and debris to ensure smooth rolling. If casters become stiff, a small amount of silicone lubricant can be applied to the axle.
• Gas Lift: The gas lift is a sealed unit and requires no maintenance. If you experience issues with height adjustment, refer to the troubleshooting section.
