Upholstered furniture cleaning in Šķirotava - for homes on Krustpils iela

A used sofa: cleaning before you bring it in

If a sofa comes from an advert or from relatives, you do not know what has been on it. Before you use it, look under the cushions, on the underside and in the seams. The photo in an advert often does not show what can be seen in person.

• Stains: write whether you know what they are from, for example coffee.
• Smell: smoke, pets, damp. It helps to say which of them you can notice.
• Suspected bed bugs: that is a job for pest control, not cleaning.
• Mould: if it is in the filling, cleaning does not solve it.

Used sofa cleaning in Šķirotava costs the same as any other sofa cleaning: two-seater from €35, three-seater from €45, sofa bed from €40. If several items need cleaning before you move in, see the page furniture cleaning before moving in.

Staff rooms by the warehouses

Logistics and production companies operate in Šķirotava, and their staff rooms may have a sofa and upholstered chairs. People sit on them in work clothes and eat there too, so the fabric gets dirty in a different way from at home.

The unit price is the same for a business, and we agree larger volumes separately. Note the shift times in the request, so that a time can be chosen when the room is free. An office chair costs from €10, a dining chair from €7. More detail: office sofa cleaning and office chair cleaning.

Dark grease stains from work clothes may stay. On pale fabric they will be visible.

Display sofas and sofas for sale

In the wholesale and retail businesses around Šķirotava, a piece of furniture may be a display sample, while privately you may want to sell a sofa. Before you advertise it, a clean sofa looks better in the photo and the buyer has fewer doubts. Sofa cleaning before selling starts from the same price, and the sums are simple: if you can sell the sofa for €150, cleaning from €35 may pay off, but if for €30, it will not.

A seller has one more honest argument: it is better to show the buyer a remaining stain in a photo than to hide it. Cleaning does not undo wear and does not replace information about the furniture's history.

In apartment buildings: sofa beds and kitchen chairs

In flats on Krustpils iela with few rooms, a sofa bed may also be the bed, so it helps to clean it the way you would a mattress. A sofa bed costs from €40. Kitchen chairs with a padded seat cost from €7 each, and four chairs plus a pouffe come close to the minimum, while with a two-seater sofa they exceed it. See sofa bed cleaning and dining chair cleaning.

If there are children in the flat, blot a fresh stain lightly with a clean cloth dampened in cool water, without rubbing, and do not use chlorine bleach. Then send a photo.

The nearby railway and windows

In a low-rise house on Krustpils iela a window may face the street or the railway, and because of the freight traffic you may not always want to open it. Moving air is still needed after fabric cleaning, so choose a window on the yard side. A fan helps in the room, but do not dry fabric with direct heat.

If windows facing the street are often open, regular vacuuming achieves more day to day, including in the gaps and under the cushions. Cleaning tidies up the furniture but does not protect it in future.

Price, minimum and travel

The minimum order is €45, and travel in Riga is included. The price depends on size, fabric, soiling and smell, and we agree it before the work. Full list: prices. A used sofa may keep the previous owner's smoke or pet smell, and we will tell you so in advance.
