Guest guest Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 Get Leather chairs. We had cloth for years and they stunk. We have had leather for a year and they dont smell and are easy to clean. __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 Fabric chairs at our center, too. I sure don't miss them. With only 8 of us total and 2 chairs, we were all very hygenic and body conscious, but after a frequent 16 hour shift, who's not going to feel a little less-than-fresh? Especially when no one has given you a break and you've had to take a hand held into the restroom built into dispatch. The temperature often fluctuates wildly in there as well. So I can tell you, a LOT of Lysol and Febreeze were used on those chairs. Professionally cleaned - what a joke. One of us had a portable steam cleaner for spots on carpets and brought it in to clean and sanitize the chairs, but could only do that when one person was working for several shifts instead of two to let the chair dry. Unless they wanted to move the chair to another room and use a hair dryer and risk getting caught moving dispatch furniture. So basically, it was an after 03:00 job on Sat. morn and then after 15:00 on Sat. if the chair was still wet, garbage bag upholstery til it dried. Need I say that our department considered dispatch the part of the totem pole that's in the ground.

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 Hi , We spray them quite heavily with a Lysol type spray. It seems to have worked, I haven't heard any complaints lately.

We have a few that seem to have an odor to them, no different that we have experienced with Cloth/foam cushions. We have tried deodorizer sprays to no avail. Is anyone else experiencing this and have a remedy? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
