Sofa cleaning in Mangaļi - for low-rise houses and flats

House or flat: what makes the work different

On a single street in Mangaļi the work can be of two kinds, and it helps to say in the request which applies to you.

We clean furniture on the spot, so in neither case does the sofa have to be carried down the stairs. More generally, read: furniture cleaning in a flat and furniture cleaning in a private house.

Dog, cat and sofa

If a pet uses the sofa too, the cleaning plan starts with the question of what exactly has to be removed: hair, smell or urine. Hair is the simplest case, and regular vacuuming can do a lot, including under the cushions and in the gaps. More on this: pet hair on a sofa.

Urine is more complicated. For cat urine, veterinary sources mention enzyme cleaning, but International Cat Care also points out the limit: heavily soaked fabric attracts the cat even after cleaning. If the liquid has reached the foam, the smell may stay or come back.

If the cat does this repeatedly, it is advisable to consult a vet before cleaning, because health reasons have to be ruled out first. Otherwise the cat may return to the same spot. On how the work goes: sofa cleaning after a cat or dog and cleaning urine from a sofa.

If the accident has only just happened

1. Blot Use a clean cloth to dab the spot lightly, without rubbing.
2. No hot water Hot water can set a stain. If needed, dampen the cloth in cool water, but do not soak the fabric, so that the liquid does not reach the filling.
3. No chlorine Chlorine bleach and strong cleaning products can change the colour.
4. Send a photo Write what was spilt and when. The specialist will tell you what to expect.

A sofa bed in a one-room flat

In a flat with a small room, the sofa may also serve as a bed. For such a sofa, sofa bed cleaning means not only the seat but also the sleeping area and the gaps where crumbs and dust collect. A sofa bed costs from €40.

Before cleaning, pull the sofa out and photograph it open. Such a photo shows what stays hidden when you sit on it: stains in the middle and at the edges of the sleeping area. After cleaning, do not fold the sofa until the fabric has dried.

A mattress after a child or pet

Mattress cleaning in Mangaļi costs from €30 for a single and from €45 for a double, per side; the second side is +50%. If a child or pet has wet the mattress, the most important thing is not the fabric but how deep the liquid has gone. The surface can be cleaned up, but the filling cannot be rinsed out, because a mattress must not be soaked. Moisture may stay in foam for a long time.

Before making a request, take off the sheet, blot the spot and leave the mattress uncovered to dry. Send a photo of the spot and the edges. More on this subject: child's urine on a mattress and children's mattress cleaning.

Airing near the port and the railway

In Mangaļi the water, port and railway are close by, so you may not always want to keep a window open for long. The Health Inspectorate (Veselības inspekcija) recommends airing the bedroom every morning for at least 15 minutes. After furniture cleaning this habit is especially useful. Fabric dries more slowly on a damp day. The US Environmental Protection Agency says that fans and a dehumidifier speed up drying.

What we do not promise: cleaning does not restore fabric scratched by claws, and sagging in the seats stays. Some old stains get lighter but may not disappear completely.
