I have this problem too. I turn the chair upside down and use a utility knife to cut through the threads, then use a tweezers to pull it out. Went to a flea market this weekend and got a nice office chair with four adjustment leavers ($5.00) and one for $8.00 with arms. The wheels were packed with rug fuzz, dog/cat hair. I spent a couple of hours getting all that mess off the wheels, squirted with WD-40, and they work like new ones. Hope this works for you too. Mary

I use a Shark light weight vacuum. It had a removable retention cup that holds a whole days cleaning.

I have tile in the sewing room so I usually use the swiffer but right now our furbaby is blowing his coat so the last time I used the vacuum to chase blonde hair dust bunnies down. :oops:
