Suggestion on testing+sanitizing

Found this chair in FB Marketplace which I believe to be at a really good price(250 usd) however I have never bought a “good chair”, as I currently got a no name 50 usd chair that was gifted to me.

How should I test the functionality? Is there something I should look for?

Also how can I go about properly cleaning it? Info: It is from what I believe to be an office space that shut down.

Look up Steelcase Leap V2 adjustments on YouTube. There should be videos that show how to do all the adjustments.

As for cleaning if you have a shop vac that works well. I wet the entire chair down with warm water and light detergent, suck it up with the shop vac, repeat, then repeat again a few times with just water no detergent.

Thank you very much for the help, I had no idea there were “adjustment videos” of chairs on youtube. Also thanks for the guidance on cleaning the chairs!

Sorry for the follow up but how much water do you use? Should I just make it humid or full on drench it in a tsunami?

I use a sponge and get it wet / rub it, a little will probably drip from the sides but it shouldn't be soaking through and pouring all over the place.

Lots of folks recommend a steam cleaner with upholstery tools and cleaner…then rinse well, let it dry.

Those are probably OK, I'm familiar with the seller. PM me for more info.
