Hey there! As a supplier of large swivel recliners, I often get asked about how to keep these awesome pieces of furniture in tip - top shape. One of the most common maintenance tasks is lubricating the swiveling and reclining parts. In this blog, I'll walk you through the whole process step by step.
First things first, let's talk about why lubrication is so important. Over time, the moving parts of a large swivel recliner can start to wear down due to friction. This friction can make the swiveling and reclining action less smooth, and in some cases, it can even cause parts to break prematurely. By lubricating these parts regularly, you can reduce friction, extend the lifespan of your recliner, and keep it operating smoothly for years to come.
Before you start lubricating, you'll need to gather a few supplies. You'll need a good quality lubricant. Silicone spray lubricants are a great choice for swivel recliners because they're non - greasy, won't attract dirt, and provide long - lasting lubrication. You'll also need a clean cloth to wipe away any dirt or debris from the parts before lubricating. And if there are any hard - to - reach areas, a small brush can be handy for applying the lubricant.
Now, let's get to the actual process. Start by giving your recliner a good visual inspection. Look for any signs of dirt, dust, or debris on the swiveling and reclining parts. If you see any, use your clean cloth to wipe it away. Pay special attention to the joints, axles, and any other areas where the parts move against each other.
Once the parts are clean, it's time to apply the lubricant. If you're using a silicone spray lubricant, shake the can well before use. Hold the can about 6 - 8 inches away from the part you're lubricating and spray a light, even coat. For the swiveling base, make sure to spray around the edges of the swivel mechanism where it rotates. You can also spray a little bit on the center pivot point.
When it comes to the reclining mechanism, focus on the joints and the bars that allow the chair to recline. These are the areas that experience the most friction. Spray the lubricant on these parts and then use your small brush to spread it evenly, especially in any hard - to - reach spots.
After you've applied the lubricant, give the recliner a few test swivels and reclines. This will help the lubricant spread even more and work its way into all the nooks and crannies. You might notice that the movement is a bit smoother right away, but it could take a few more uses for the lubricant to fully work its magic.
Now, let's talk about how often you should lubricate your large swivel recliner. It really depends on how often you use the chair. If you use it every day, I'd recommend lubricating the swiveling and reclining parts every 3 - 6 months. If it's used less frequently, once or twice a year should be sufficient.
As a supplier, I know that different types of large swivel recliners might have slightly different lubrication needs. For example, White Swivel Recliner Chair might have a more delicate finish, so you need to be extra careful when applying the lubricant to avoid getting it on the fabric. The Swivel Recliner Club Chair might have a more complex swivel mechanism, so you might need to spend a bit more time lubricating all the moving parts. And for the Luxury Leather Swivel Recliner Chairs, you need to make sure the lubricant doesn't stain the leather.
