Healthcare Chairs

There are certain types of materials used for healthcare seating and patient chairs. If you’re looking for healthcare chairs in settings where germs and dirt tend to accumulate quickly because of the amount of traffic or use, you may want to look into the following fabrics that are easy to clean and sanitise:

• Leather

Leather is a classic chair and furniture material that is just as luxurious as aesthetically pleasing. Not only is it easy on the eyes, but also incredibly simple to clean. Just a simple wipe with a damp cloth and soap or disinfectant can quickly clean the leather and rid it of any existing germs on the surface. Leather can even be stain-resistant, depending on the colour and quality.

• Microfibres

Microfibres are a family of synthetically made fabrics known for their low maintenance and longevity. Like leather, microfiber tends not to age as quickly or noticeably as other fabrics, making it an ideal material for furniture in high-traffic areas. It also tends to be a more affordable option - cleaning becomes as easy as dabbing with a damp towel and a bit of soapy water or disinfectant spray.

• Vinyl (also known as Faux Leather)

While vinyl may not sound as luxurious or intriguing, the quality of vinyl produced these days can now mimic different fabrics and textures. It can be one of the best upholstery materials regarding ease of cleaning and disinfecting. A quick wipe-down with a disinfectant is everything needed to ensure a germ-free surface.
