Vacuuming

The process keeps out dust, dirt and crumbs from making their way into the fabric, which in turn prevents allergens developing.
Cleaning the dining room furniture will also help keep the rest of the home in top shape.
Professional cleaning
Dining chairs which have foregone cleaning for some time may require a professional touch.
