Sofa cleaning in Pļavnieki - for flats in high-rise buildings

Why the lift and floor do not matter for cleaning

The size of the lift decides what gets upstairs, not how furniture is cleaned. A corner sofa that was once brought up in sections does not have to be taken apart and carried down for cleaning. We clean in the room where it stands, so it makes no difference whether that is on the first floor or the sixteenth.

In the form it is enough to write the building number, the entrance door code and the floor. Inside the estate, one sentence on where a car can be parked also helps, because parking and access are the main practical issue here. Furniture cleaning in a flat describes this work in more detail.

The same goes for the bedroom: mattress cleaning at home means the mattress does not have to go down in the lift. In the newest developments too, the furniture stays where it is.

A sofa bed used as a bed

If one room in a flat is both living room and bedroom, the sofa is pulled out every evening. That means a different kind of wear: sweat and crumbs end up in the sleeping area, not only on the seat. Such a sofa has to be assessed like a mattress, because it is slept on.

Sofa bed cleaning in Pļavnieki costs from €40. Photograph the sofa pulled out, because that is when stains show. After cleaning it is worth airing the sofa rather than making up the bed straight away, so if you sleep on it every night, think about a spare place to sleep.

Airing on the upper floors

If the flat's windows face two directions, a through draught changes the air quickly: open the windows and the doors between rooms. The Health Inspectorate (Veselības inspekcija) recommends at least 15 minutes every morning for the bedroom.

If the walls tend to show condensation marks or there is mould in a corner, that is a different problem. Damp in the room has to be dealt with separately, because the fabric in the same room will take it up again. If the sofa stands against a cold outside wall, move it slightly so that air can reach it. On mould: mould in a sofa.

Children and juice on the sofa

In a family flat the sofa is also a play area. With a fresh stain the first step is to blot, not rub. Take a cloth dampened in cool water and blot lightly, without rubbing. Hot water can set protein stains, so do not use it.

An old stain can usually be made lighter, but it may stay visible. For especially pale fabric see pale sofa cleaning, and for a children's room children's sofa cleaning. More on stains: stains on a sofa.

Radiator, balcony and winter air

In a high-rise building the sofa may stand next to a radiator. After cleaning, do not push it closer so that it dries faster: direct heat harms leather, and for fabric moving air matters more. Cushions can be taken out to a glazed balcony if it is dry and ventilated.

In the heating season the indoor air is drier than in a rainy autumn. A humidity meter will show whether you are within the 40–60% that the Health Inspectorate gives as comfortable. If humidity stays above 70% for a long time, look for the cause.

Child seats, prams and cushions

It suits a family to have several things done at once. As the specialist is already at your home, the same visit can include child car seat cleaning (from €20) and pram cleaning (from €20). The buckle and straps may be cleaned only as the seat's instructions allow.

We do not claim that a child seat is safer or certified after cleaning. If a strap is worn or very dirty, manufacturers recommend replacing it, so keep the instructions to hand.
