Just pull the buggers off and replace them. Those cheap casters cost about $2 each to replace and the results will be better than cleaned wheels. Plus, you'll save time and make less mess. By the time you've finished reading this, you could have replaced all 5 casters. Well, maybe that's a bit of a stretch, but replacement is really quick.

Do you all have a video on how to clean your office chairs? I've got the steel case leap V2 with the very porous mesh back and the tighter weave on the seat cushion, just curious how to clean it well.

[@CrandallOfficeFurniture]

We don't yet but what Steelcase says to use is a clear dish soap with a soft bristle brush and a 12/1 water mixture with the soap and water in a spray bottle.

@@CrandallOfficeFurniture Thank you! I've got all sorts of car detailing chemicals from my hobby but don't want to use anything that will discolor the fabric.

I liked this video but my issue isn't the clogged caster axles. My resistance is related to the stem rubbing into the arms. Each wheel does it and it appears to be pressure activated. Any suggestions for that?

[@raymaas8330]

Yes, those stems can get really gunked up. Drill a small hole through the plastic in the bottom of the wheel. Try to get it directly under the center of the stem, though if it's a little off center it's ok. Make the hole big enough to get a pin punch through. Then put the wheel on top of a vise (or a couple blocks of wood) and knock the stem out with the punch. After you clean the stem up and lube it, tap it back in with a hammer.

I clean the casters often, and used other products once all the grime is removed from the portion in contact with the floor. My end result is no better than clean, but light gray. Any other coating options to get that surface black other than the product you used? I imagine some of the automobile part stores should have something. Thanks

[@CrandallOfficeFurniture]

It's a plastic based product so any plastic revitalizer will work. Especially like a microban cleaner would do well.

@@CrandallOfficeFurniture I will let you know if what I find and use works; 303 Protectant that I had did not work. Thanks again

Hello. What are the solutions for the black dots caused by chair wheels?

[@CrandallOfficeFurniture]

Could you send us a video via email to [e-mail] of what is going on that would give us the ability to diagnose it better.

[@w0nerx]

I used paint tape in the wheels and it's been good so far. it's black residue on the floor caused by worn-out chair wheels. @@CrandallOfficeFurniture

[@CrandallOfficeFurniture]

Do you have roller blade casters?

[@imtopher61]

I'd probably buy new casters.

[@CrandallOfficeFurniture]

Not a bad choice either!

[@Sparkrdom]

Forget these, get roller blade casters!

[@CrandallOfficeFurniture]

Roller Blades are nice!

Hi there, I am able to get put a lot of the hair but there is still enough buried on the axles to inhibit the wheels' turning. I have tried vinegar and baking soda to dissolve the hair, and oxy-bleach, neither of which have worked to loosen the hair caught right in the middle of the spindle. Some have suggested that I try Drano to break down the hair, which I haven't done, as I am afraid it will compromise the plastic of the wheels. Don't see the point of putting in Vaseline or WD-40 if the hair isn't already out. Any suggestions?

[@SirGregoryFamilyYouTube]

The best way is to replace the casters. However, if you want to keep your casters, then disassembling the caster is the only way. Pry each side of the caster off the axle. Then you can get ALL the hair out. Note that the caster might be destroyed while prying the wheels off, so then you're back to replacement.

much easier wat use the claw of a hammer you can wedge it down to the wheel spindle then work on ry off by getting it closer the peg that goes up into the chair bottom if it just widens the wheel space you can then work claw under the wheel where the top cover is over the wheel it will pop off easy then just tap spindle to get other wheel out

Thank you for the information! We appreciate it.
