Furniture cleaning in Mangaļsala - for summer and detached houses

A summer house after winter: smell or mould

A room that stands closed and unheated in winter leaves its mark on fabrics. The first step is not cleaning but two dry days with the windows open and the cushions lifted. If the smell is weaker after that, the fabric is merely stale, and cleaning usually helps.

If the smell stays and there are specks on the fabric, look for dark marks on the underside of the sofa or at the edge of the mattress. Mould that has reached the filling often means replacement, and in porous materials it may not be possible to remove it completely. The cause of the damp then has to be dealt with first, or the new furniture will end up in the same damp.

Send a photo and mention whether the room was heated in winter. We will tell you honestly whether cleaning makes sense. More detail: mould in a sofa and mould in a mattress.

Sand, terrace and cushions

Mangaļsala lies between the mouth of the Daugava, the sea and nature areas, and sand from the beach and dunes finds its way into the house. Before cleaning, vacuum the gaps in the sofa while the sand is dry. When wet, it catches in the seams.

Outdoor furniture cushion cleaning fits well into the same order: a removable cushion costs from €2. For terrace cushions, the label decides what may be done with the cover, and without a label caution is needed. An armchair on the veranda costs from €20, while camper furniture cleaning is a separate job if the camper is wintering in the same yard.

Several items at once

A summer house may have several guest beds. If you want both the mattresses and the sofa cleaned, write everything in one request. That way a single mattress (from €30) plus an armchair (from €20) already exceeds the minimum, and one trip covers both jobs.

Mattress cleaning at home in Mangaļsala also means that after the work the mattress is not covered with a sheet until it has dried. Moisture may stay in foam or springs for a long time, so a mattress must not be soaked. A coconut fibre mattress is sensitive to moisture, especially if it stands directly on the floor.

If there is a sofa bed for guests, it costs from €40 and needs a photo with it open as well. Upholstered dining chairs (from €7 each) fit on the same list. If there are several items in the house, we add everything up before the work, not bit by bit.

Wet dog, beach and child seats

In a house by the sea, a dog comes onto the sofa with sand and a wet coat. Say so in the request, because hair and smell change the amount of work. Smell treatment costs extra, from €15, but urine smell from the filling may stay. More detail: sofa cleaning after a cat or dog.

If the family spends the summer at the summer house, sand and crumbs also collect in the child car seat. Child car seat cleaning costs from €20 and can be included in the same request. For the buckle and straps the seat's instructions are decisive, so keep them to hand.

Airing by the sea

Fabric dries more slowly on a damp day, because the air takes up moisture less well. Plan the cleaning for a time when someone is in the house and can heat and air it, not right before you leave. A damp filling in a closed room is a place where mould can start to develop, so do not leave the house shut up after the work.

There are fewer access roads to Mangaļsala, and they run in the direction of Vecāķi and Vecdaugava. In the form, write the address and, if the house is on the dune side or by a forest road, where a car can be parked.
