How to Maintain Your Massage Chair for Long-Term Use

Because good care = years of comfort and stress relief

Investing in a body massage chair is a big decision ,and one that pays off for your body and mind. But to keep your chair running like new (and avoid unexpected repairs), a little regular maintenance goes a long way. Think of it like owning a car or an appliance ,it needs some love from time to time.

Here’s a simple guide to help you maintain your massage chair and enjoy years of stress-free relaxation.

 

1. Keep it Clean – But Gently

Dust, body oils, sweat, and even crumbs can collect on the surface of your massage chair. Here’s how to clean it right:

• Use a soft microfiber cloth to wipe it down weekly.
• For stains or dirt, lightly dampen the cloth with water or mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals.
• If your chair is made of leather or PU leather, consider using a leather conditioner every few months to prevent cracking or fading.

Pro tip: Don’t forget to clean the remote control. Germs love to hide there.

2. Avoid Overuse – Let It Rest Too

Yes, it’s tempting to sit in your massage chair for hours (we get it!). But like any machine, it needs rest between sessions.

• Limit usage to the recommended session time (usually 15–30 minutes).
• Let the chair cool down for a few minutes before the next session ,especially if using heat or deep massage modes.

Overuse can overheat the motor or reduce the lifespan of the internal components.

 

3. Give It a Safe, Clean Spot in Your Home

Where your massage chair sits matters more than you might think.

• Avoid placing it in direct sunlight, which can fade or crack the material.
• Keep it away from walls or corners ,most chairs need space to recline fully.
• Make sure the area is dry. Avoid humid spots like balconies or damp basements.

 

4. Unplug When Not in Use

When you’re not using your massage chair, it’s a good idea to turn it off and unplug it.

• This helps protect it from power surges or lightning strikes.
• Also saves a bit on electricity!

 

5. Check for Obstructions Regularly

It sounds obvious, but things can fall into or under the chair ,toys, pens, even socks.

• Make it a habit to check under and around the chair weekly.
• Don’t let pets sleep or play under it, especially during operation.

6. Use the Features As Intended

Lixo Full body Massage chairs come with all sorts of amazing features ,recline, heat, 3D/4D rollers, airbags ,but make sure you’re using them right.

• Don’t force any movements manually.
• Follow the user manual when using or adjusting advanced settings.
• If something seems “off,” stop using that function and consult support.

 

7. Schedule Annual Service or Check-Ups

Just like you service a car, your massage chair benefits from occasional expert checks.

• Ask the manufacturer if they provide Annual Maintenance Contracts (AMC) or service packages.
• A technician can check the motors, airbags, wiring, and remote to ensure everything’s in shape.

 

8. Store the Warranty & Manuals Safely

You never know when you’ll need them!

• Keep your warranty card, invoice, and user manual in a safe place.
• If your chair needs repair or parts, having these ready saves time and hassle.

 

9. Cover It When Not in Use (Optional But Smart)

Want your chair to stay dust-free and safe from accidental spills or pet fur?

• Use a custom-fit cover or even a soft bed sheet when not in use.

Taking care of your massage chair doesn’t require a lot of effort ,just a few smart habits. With regular cleaning, careful use, and a bit of attention, your massage chair can last you many years (and many happy, relaxed evenings).
