Upholstered furniture cleaning in Brasa - for pre-war buildings, offices and clinics

A pre-war building: high ceilings and a heavy sofa

Brasa is dominated by the mixed and residential buildings typical of the historic centre. In a pre-war masonry building the ceilings may be high, the stairwell is cool, and flats tend to have older, heavy furniture that nobody wants to carry down the stairs. That makes on-site cleaning the simplest solution.

In a high room the air moves differently, and it may be dry in the heating season but cool and damp between seasons. After cleaning, it is worth opening a window and keeping the doors open. Do not lay a blanket on a damp sofa. If the furniture stands next to a radiator, do not use it for drying, because heat dries out leather and is not suitable for latex.

Parking and entrance

Paid parking zone C operates in Brasa, so please say in the form where a car can be left near the building. If the entrance is from the courtyard or the gate has a code, write that too. It shortens the conversation.

The floor and the stairs do not matter, because the furniture stays in the flat. The railway and busy streets may mean the windows are not open so often by day, so plan the airing for when it suits you.

Velour and old living room furniture

Pre-war flats tend to have upholstered furniture in velour or chenille. Over time these fabrics show pressure marks and changes of shade, and that is not dirt but a property of the fabric. Velour does not tolerate too much water and pressure: the pile may stay crushed. So blot liquid from velour, working from the edges to the middle, and when the fabric is completely dry, brush it in the direction of the pile.

If the velour has code X or no label, send a photo. More: velour sofa cleaning. An older velour chair may not look new even when it is clean.

Offices and waiting rooms

Brasa has healthcare institutions, offices and educational institutions. In a waiting room, chairs and sofas serve many people, and the furniture wears from frequent use, not from a single stain.

For businesses we agree the price for a larger volume separately, but the unit prices stay the same: office chair from €10, dining chair from €7, armchair from €20. More: clinic furniture cleaning, waiting room chairs and office furniture cleaning.

Important: we clean furniture, we do not disinfect it. If your institution has hygiene requirements, they are set by your own rules, and cleaning does not replace them. Nor do we promise that the fabric will be sterile after the work.

A mattress after illness

If you are caring for someone at home or someone has come back from hospital, the mattress and chair need attention. Mattress cleaning after illness is not a medical service. Cleaning freshens up the surface, and it does not replace what a doctor recommends. If the fabric or foam is heavily soaked with urine or another liquid, the price depends on how deep it has gone, and the smell may stay.

A mattress does not tolerate excess liquid, so it must not be soaked. If a mattress is badly soaked, it usually has to be replaced, and the specialist will tell you that from a photo.

Cigarette smell in a pre-war flat

If you take over a flat from a smoker, the smell is not only in the sofa. Smoke residue stays in curtains, walls and upholstered furniture. In one study, cotton and polyester still held it after 19 months, and in flats wiping and repainting gave only a short-lived result. The smell in the fabric can be reduced, but we cannot promise it will not come back from the filling. Smell treatment costs from €15 extra. We work only on the textiles, not the room.

Price and travel

A two-seater sofa from €35, a leather two-seater from €40, a corner sofa from €50, a single mattress from €30, a double from €45 per side. The minimum order is €45, and travel to Brasa is included. We agree the price before the work, and it depends on size, fabric, dirt and smell. Full list: prices.

Upholstered chairs and dining chairs

In a pre-war dining room, chairs with upholstered seats last a long time, and the fabric on them wears. A dining chair costs from €7, and seven chairs reach the €45 minimum. Send photos of several seats, because the stains on them may differ. More: upholstered chair cleaning and dining chairs.

What may stay

The surface of a leather chair used for years will not become new. Ink on leather does not always come off, and coffee left on light fabric for a long time may stay. A smell from the filling may remain. Pressure marks on velour are a property of the fabric.
