If your lift chair plays an important role in your daily routine, you should take steps to maintain your chair and prolong its lifespan. Keep reading to learn how!
Evaluating the Condition of Your Lift Chair
A visual inspection of your lift chair may not yield much information, aside from its level of cleanliness. You will have to pay close attention to how your chair feels and sounds in order to evaluate its condition. If you notice any unusual noises or vibrations, or if your chair is unable to achieve its full range of motion, it’s time to schedule a service appointment.
Cleaning Your Lift Chair
It probably goes without saying that you should regularly clean your lift chair. This isn’t just about looks. Remember that your lift chair is a machine, and that dust buildup can interfere with its basic functions. Dust can accumulate whether or not you are using your lift chair on a daily basis, and you should take time to clean it at least once a month.
To clean your lift chair, first unplug it from the wall and remove the backup batteries. Then you can wipe down or vacuum every surface of the chair, including the motor, hand control, and power cord. For easy access to the motor, you can place the chair in an upright position.
Testing Your Backup Batteries
Most lift chairs come with backup batteries to ensure that users are not left stranded in the event of a power outage. You should test these batteries once a month, and replace them as needed. Testing your backup batteries is as simple as unplugging your chair and checking that it still functions properly without being connected to power.
Upholstery Care
Lift chairs are available with a wide variety of fabrics, colors, and textures to match the style of your home. Your owner’s manual should explain how to care for your chair’s upholstery material. Keep in mind that even “stain resistant” fabrics will stain if the material stays wet for too long, so you should always clean up spills right away. If you notice any defects, such as failing seams or unraveling fabric, contact the chair manufacturer.
