Jelgava is a compact town with a university, apartment districts and private houses with small gardens, and work in a rental flat differs from work in a family home. Jelgava is about 34 km from the Riga boundary, so travel costs from €10.
A rental flat between tenants
In a university town, flats may change tenants once a year or even more often. Between two tenants, the landlord usually has to choose: buy a new mattress or try to save the existing one. The first step is a photo. A stain that looks awful may be superficial, while a small dark patch on a mattress may mean the liquid has soaked in deep.
It is best to clean when the flat is empty. That way the furniture can dry in peace with the windows open, and the new tenant moves in to a dry mattress. If the landlord lives elsewhere, say on the form who will let the specialist in. This case has its own page: furniture cleaning in a rental flat after tenants in Jelgava.
A single mattress costs from €30, which is below the €45 minimum, so it is better value to sort out more in one flat: two single mattresses start from €60, and a mattress and a two-seater sofa from €65.
Dormitories and hostels
The Latvia University of Life Sciences and Technologies has renovated its student dormitories, with shared kitchens and laundry facilities. These are not the only places where the people using the beds change more often than at home. If a hostel, dormitory or guest house needs many mattresses sorted out, the unit prices are the same, but for larger volumes we agree the price separately. See hotel and hostel mattress cleaning.
One note: if bedbugs are found in a mattress, that is a job for pest control, and furniture cleaning does not solve it. You first need a specialist who works with pests.
A private house with a small garden
In many Jelgava neighbourhoods, private houses with small gardens line the streets. There furniture has other worries: animals from the garden, terrace cushions brought in for autumn, and a car in the yard with a child car seat.
Travel from €10 to Jelgava pays off if several things are sorted out in one visit. A double mattress from €45 reaches the minimum on its own, and the second side costs +50% if you want it. If the house has a corner sofa, its price starts from €50, and from €60 for a large corner sofa.
There are small jobs too. Sofa cushions and chairs can be added at the unit price, so there is no need to wait until something gets too dirty.
Why a mattress must not be soaked
Excess moisture harms a mattress. In foam, moisture may stay in the core, in a spring mattress water may cause rust, and latex likes neither direct sun nor heat. So a mattress must not be soaked or dried by a radiator, and the result depends on how deep the stain has gone.
If a mattress is damp inside or smells of mould, it is usually better to replace it, because drying the inside fully is very hard. If the stains are only on the surface, cleaning makes sense. More: mattress cleaning at home in Jelgava, how often to clean a mattress.
Cleaning does not treat allergies. If the reason is dust mites, several measures together help: low air humidity, washing bedding at 60 °C, and vacuuming.
An office, café or lecture room
Jelgava has places of education, production and trade, and all of them have chairs. The unit prices for businesses are the same: office chair from €10, dining chair from €7. For larger numbers we agree the price separately, and the same goes for café chair cleaning. On the form, write the number of chairs and the type of fabric, and add one close-up photo of the dirtiest seat.
Bridges and the address
The Lielupe and the Driksa divide the town, and traffic concentrates on the bridges. On the form, give the street, not just the neighbourhood. If the house is outside the town, in Jelgava municipality, write the nearest settlement.
Travel is from €10, minimum order €45. The price depends on size, fabric, dirt, smell and distance. We agree it before the work, and all the unit prices are on the prices page. The nearest pages: Olaine and Iecava.
What cleaning does not promise
