Sofa and mattress cleaning in Mežciems

Mattress: what to look at before making a request

1. Remove the sheet and cover Look at both sides. If the mattress has a removable cover, read the label, because some covers can be washed and some cannot.
2. Identify the mattress type Foam, springs, latex and coconut fibre each need a different kind of care. Foam is sensitive to moisture, moisture can make springs rust, and direct heat harms latex.
3. Photograph stains and edges A close-up shows whether it is a stain or mould. If there is a smell, note when it appeared.
4. Write down the size A single mattress is from €30, a double from €45 per side, second side +50%.

TEMPUR writes that this material must not be washed, sponged or dry-cleaned, so read the manufacturer's care text before making a request. More: mattress cleaning at home and double mattress cleaning.

A bed after illness or after hospital

The neighbourhood has healthcare complexes, and after treatment a relative may come home, or a bed may be left after a long illness. Mattress cleaning after an illness is an understandable need, but cleaning is not disinfection, and we do not promise that. If an infection is involved, ask a doctor first.

First aid for blood stains is cold water and blotting, not heat, because heat sets the stain. Urine smell in a mattress may stay if the liquid has reached the foam, so send a photo of the mattress edges too. Sometimes it is better value to replace the mattress.

Dust mites, humidity and what to expect from cleaning

The Health Inspectorate (Veselības inspekcija) writes that dust mites breed in mattresses, bed linen and upholstered furniture when relative humidity is 50–70%. So we do not say that one cleaning solves an allergy. For allergies the advice is different: washing bed linen at 60 °C or hotter, covers, and room humidity below 50%.

Cleaning tidies up the surface, and if you want a cleaner bed, that may be enough. Read more in dust mites in a mattress and sofa.

The Health Inspectorate recommends airing the bedroom every morning for at least 15 minutes, and after mattress cleaning this habit is especially useful. Do not make the bed until the mattress also feels dry to the touch.

A child's mattress and accidents at night

Children's mattress cleaning is a separate question. If an accident has happened at night, take off the sheet, blot the spot lightly with a clean cloth, without rubbing, and leave the mattress uncovered. Do not use hot water and do not soak the mattress, so that the liquid does not sink deeper into the core.

Send a photo in the morning. The smell may stay if the liquid has reached the foam, so we do not promise to get rid of it. More detail: child's urine on a mattress.

When a mattress should be replaced, not cleaned

• Mould inside the mattress: if the inside is not completely dry, it comes back.
• A smell that persists even after airing and cleaning.
• A sunken middle or springs you can feel: cleaning improves the look, but not the support.
• Bed bugs: that is a job for pest control, not cleaning.

If in doubt, send a photo. If cleaning makes no sense, we will say so. On mould: mould in a mattress.

Sofas in flats and detached houses

In an apartment building the sofa stands in a room, and that is where we clean it, so a lift or stairs do not affect the work. In a detached house next to the housing estate there may be several items rather than one sofa, and then it is worth getting everything done at once. We add the prices up in one request and agree the total before the work.

Sofa cleaning in Mežciems costs from €35, corner sofa cleaning from €50, a sofa bed from €40. More on conditions in a flat: furniture cleaning in a flat. For a clinic waiting room: clinic furniture cleaning.

Minimum, travel and what may stay

The minimum order is €45: if the total is lower, you pay €45. Travel is included in Riga. So it is better value to combine a single mattress (from €30) with another item, such as an armchair (from €20). Full list: prices.

May stay: old yellowing that has built up over the years, staleness deep in the core and a worn surface. If a mattress has sunk, cleaning will not restore it, because that is wear.
