Upholstered furniture cleaning in Berģi - for family homes by Brīvības gatve

Old plots and new developments

Building in Jugla village, now Juglas parks, began in the 1920s, when the area was divided into plots of 1,500–2,000 m². Today newer private housing developments stand next to it in Berģi. So one street may have a house with an inherited armchair and a house with a corner sofa bought a couple of years ago.

In both cases you start the same way: look for the care label under the cushions or by the base. A new sofa usually has one. An inherited piece may not; in that case, send a photo of the fabric.

Children's mattresses, prams and a stained sofa

In a family home, small accidents happen on whichever piece of furniture is closest: juice on the sofa, coloured pencils, a child's urine on a mattress. If it has only just happened, blot gently with a clean cloth without rubbing, and do not use hot water. In a mattress, urine may soak in deeper than you can see, and the foam holds it.

So a mattress must not be soaked, and that applies to children's mattress cleaning too. For a spring mattress, excess moisture may mean rust, and for foam it may mean the moisture stays in the core. A stain may get paler, but it may not disappear completely. Read also: a child's urine on a mattress.

A pram costs from €20, and so does a child car seat. The straps and buckle of a child car seat are looked after only as the manufacturer's instructions allow, and we do not claim that the seat is just as reliable after cleaning. If a strap is worn or very dirty, the manufacturer recommends replacing it.

An inherited chair and the big sofa: how to take the photo

A good photo saves a conversation. Photograph the whole piece from the front, then the stain close up, and the care label if there is one. Photograph the stain in daylight. If it is a corner sofa, also show the side that stands against the wall. More: how to photograph a sofa for a price.

For an old armchair, add a photo from the side as well, so that the fabric and upholstery can be seen. With inherited furniture, what matters is whether the fabric is still strong. If it has worn thin or is tearing, cleaning will not improve it.

What to order in one visit

In a private house, the €45 minimum order is usually easy to reach if you add up everything that needs cleaning. A few examples:

• a two-seater sofa from €35 and a pouffe from €10;
• seven dining chairs from €7 each;
• a single mattress from €30 and a pram from €20;
• four car seats from €12 each, if the car is parked in the yard.

If the list also includes corner sofa cleaning from €50, the minimum is reached with one piece. Travel in Berģi is included, because the neighbourhood is in Riga. The price depends on size, fabric, dirt, smell and distance. We agree it before the work, not after. The full list is under prices.

The room after cleaning

In a private house there is usually somewhere to leave damp furniture in peace, but everything depends on the air. If a radiator warms the room but the window is not open, the moisture stays in the room. Open a window if the weather allows, and keep the doors open. The Health Inspectorate (Veselības inspekcija) recommends airing a bedroom for at least 15 minutes in the morning, and this habit is useful in this case too.

Do not put cushions on a stove or radiator. We do not name an exact number of hours, because that depends on the room, fabric and filling.

What does not work

Old urine in the foam, an old wine stain on light fabric and ink may stay, even if they get paler. A water ring may appear on sensitive fabric. If furniture has stood in an unheated room for a long time and smells, the cause may be in the filling. The specialist will tell you all this before the work, not after.

If the neighbouring areas are closer to you, we work there just the same: in Jugla, Bukulti, Brekši and Suži. The full list: where we work.

Businesses by Brīvības gatve

Berģi also has roadside commercial premises and educational institutions. If you have a waiting room, salon or small office by Brīvības gatve, the request is similar to one from a home; just write the number of chairs and when there is nobody in the room. An armchair from €20 and an office chair from €10 can be in one order with a sofa. More: beauty salon furniture cleaning and kindergarten furniture cleaning.
