Ķengarags is a predominantly high-rise residential neighbourhood, and the residential area consists of 5 housing estates. The work varies not by estate but by sofa: for one the problem is a stain, for another a smell. Send a photo and the specialist will tell you the price.
A sofa you have lived with for years
High-rise building in Ķengarags began after a detailed plan of 1962, while in the 1950s two-storey standard houses started going up here for railway workers. That says nothing about the age of the furniture, but in a flat where one family has lived for a long time, a sofa may have spent many years in one spot.
Such a sofa does not always need rescuing from a stain. Sometimes the question is simpler: is it worth cleaning at all? Worn fabric will not become new after cleaning. But the dark bands on armrests and seats are often dirt, and that can be reduced. Send a photo of the seat and armrest, and you will get an answer before the work.
Three smells and three different outcomes
In a small flat, a smell can be noticed throughout the room. Three different sources need three different assessments.
| Smell | What usually happens | What may stay |
|---|---|---|
| Cigarette smoke | The residue sits in the fabric and filling, and cotton holds it for a long time | The smell may come back from the filling |
| Cat urine | The smell area may be up to three times larger than the stain | If the liquid has reached the foam, the smell may stay |
| Damp | If the source is the room, the smell may come back | Cleaning does not remove the cause |
Additional smell treatment costs from €15. Tell us what the source of the smell is, and the specialist will tell you whether it is needed. If the cat does this repeatedly, consult a vet first. More detail: cleaning urine from a sofa, cigarette smoke smell in a sofa.
Selling the sofa or letting the flat
If the sofa is being sold or the flat let, clean furniture is easier to show. The page sofa cleaning before selling describes what to do if the furniture will go on to a new owner. If the flat is being prepared for a new tenant, see furniture cleaning for rental flats.
If you choose only one thing, let it be the item the next user will notice first. When the flat is empty, the air moves more freely and the furniture can dry undisturbed.
The floor is no obstacle
The sofa does not have to be carried anywhere: it is cleaned right there in the flat, in a low two-storey house or at the top of a high-rise. Enter the address, floor and stairwell code, if there is one, in the form. Maskavas iela, the tram and the railway affect the way to the building, so also say from which side it is easiest to drive up.
- Clear the space around the sofa so that it can be reached.
- Remove blankets and decorative cushions.
- Open a window after the work, if the weather allows.
- Do not put anything on the sofa until it is dry.
A mattress after illness or long bed rest
If someone at home has been ill or in bed for a long time, the mattress may have stains and a smell. Mattress cleaning after illness can reduce what can be seen and smelt in the fabric, but it is not disinfection and not a medical service. Cleaning does not cure an allergy or settle the question of dust mites: mites breed in damp air, so room humidity and airing matter more.
If a stain has soaked in deep or the mattress is old, sometimes it is more sensible to replace it. Tell us what happened, and the specialist will say before the work what you can expect. A brief description in the form is enough.
Mattress, chairs and the minimum
Mattress cleaning in Ķengarags starts from €30 for a single mattress. A double is from €45 per side, second side +50%. If the bed is in the same room as the sofa, it is convenient to request them together.
The minimum order is €45: if the total is lower, you pay €45. A three-seater sofa from €45 reaches that on its own; for a two-seater from €35, add two dining chairs or a pouffe from €10. An armchair from €20 is also easy to add.
Prices and what may stay
Travel in Ķengarags is included. The price depends on size, fabric, dirt, smell and distance, and it is agreed before the work. A corner sofa is from €50, a large corner sofa from €60, a sofa bed from €40. See also all prices.
May stay: wear, fabric faded in a sunny room, an old stain and a smell from the filling. Pressure marks on velour are a property of the fabric, not dirt, and cleaning does not usually remove them. More: what can be cleaned and what may stay.
