Furniture cleaning in Ikšķile - for private houses by the Daugava

A private house: count room by room

In a flat, an order is usually one sofa. A private house may have a living room sofa, an armchair by the window, a headboard upstairs and chairs around the dining table. That is exactly why the €45 minimum order is no obstacle in a house: a three-seater sofa from €45 reaches it on its own, while a two-seater from €35 together with a headboard from €35 starts from €70.

Before you fill on the form, walk round the house with your phone and photograph each piece separately. That way the specialist sees the size and fabric, and no extra questions are needed. More: furniture cleaning in a private house in Ikšķile and how to photograph a sofa for a price.

In houses with several floors, stairs change nothing: the furniture stays where it is. The only thing that helps is access from the sides, so before the work clear some space around the sofa and take the blankets off it.

A dog from the garden, a cat on the sofa

If the house has a garden, an animal goes in and out all day. Hair and mud on the fabric are usually the easier part. Urine is harder: the area of smell may be up to three times larger than the visible stain, and if the liquid has reached the foam, the smell may stay or return.

If a stain has only just appeared, blot it gently with a clean cloth without rubbing, and do not use hot water. If a cat keeps marking the same place, it is worth talking to a vet, because the cause may be a matter of health or behaviour. More: urine sofa cleaning in Ikšķile.

We do not say that after cleaning the animal will not come back to the same place. That depends on the animal, not the sofa.

Terrace cushions and the end of the season

When summer by the Daugava is over, terrace furniture cushions end up in a cellar or shed. If they are stored damp, the moisture may stay in the foam. They need drying before winter, and they are better kept in a dry room.

If the cushions have already spent a season or two outside, order them together with the sofa. A removable cushion costs from €2, and there is a page of its own for outdoor furniture cushion cleaning in Ikšķile. If a cover has a zip, do not rush to take it off and wash it: the label tells you whether that is allowed, and otherwise the fabric may shrink or change colour.

Low-rise developments and a light sofa

In the newest housing and low-rise developments, flats are on a different scale from private houses, and an order may be one light sofa. A worn spot shows more on light fabric than on dark. It is usually everyday dirt that has built up, but an even tone across the whole sofa cannot be promised: part of the change may be wear. More: light sofa cleaning.

If a flat is let or being sold, it is worth sorting out the sofa before the viewing, not after. For one sofa, sofa cleaning before a sale will do.

The care label is usually hidden under the seat cushions or by the base. The letter W means water-based foam, S means water-free cleaning, and X means that no liquids may be used at all. A photo of the label saves a lot of questions.

Address and travel

By road it is about 13 km from the centre of Ikšķile to the Riga boundary, so travel is included. If the house is far from the centre towards Ogre, say so, and if the amount changes we will tell you before the work.

The railway line and the bank of the Daugava limit the routes between some parts of the town. In your request, give the street and, if you know it, which side of the railway the house is on. Being in Ogre municipality does not make Ikšķile Ogre: in Ogre travel is from €10, in Ikšķile it is included.

What it costs and what may stay

Sofas start from €35, corner sofas from €50, mattresses from €30 for a single and from €45 for a double, one side. The minimum order is €45. The price is affected by size, fabric, dirt, smell and distance, and we agree it before the work. See the full list on the prices page.

Old stains that have set in over the years may stay, as may urine smell in the foam, ink marks and wear. It would not be honest to promise otherwise.
