Furniture cleaning in Suži - for private houses by Ķīšezers

Several items in one visit: how to reach €45

The minimum order is €45: if the total is lower, you pay €45. In a house with several rooms that sum is not hard to reach. One two-seater sofa on its own does not yet reach the minimum, but together with an armchair it goes over. A few examples of how an order can be put together:

• A two-seater sofa (from €35) and an armchair (from €20).
• Six dining chairs (from €7 each) and a pouffe (from €10).
• A single mattress (from €30) and an armchair from the living room.
• A corner sofa (from €50) along with cushions from the terrace (from €2 each).

In the form, simply list everything you want cleaned and add photos. The specialist will add it up and tell you the total before the work starts. For how the work goes in a house with several floors, see the page furniture cleaning in a private house.

Lake and woods nearby: what that means for furniture

Ķīšezers, the woods and lower-lying ground make for a damper environment, but that does not mean every house in Suži has a damp problem. What matters for furniture is the air in the room. The Health Inspectorate (Veselības inspekcija) regards relative humidity of 40–60% as comfortable and mentions up to 70% as acceptable in a humid climate.

This also affects the time after cleaning. Fabric and filling dry according to the humidity, the ventilation, the room temperature and the material itself, so we do not promise specific hours. If the sofa stands in a room that is little heated in winter, think beforehand about whether you will be able to heat and air that room at the time.

If a piece of furniture starts to smell of a cellar, or mould patches are visible on it, deal with the cause of the damp first. Cleaning does not remove mould inside the filling, and with such a sofa or mattress the honest answer is often that it has to be replaced. More: mould in a sofa.

The label decides how it may be cleaned

Before the specialist can name a method, the fabric code has to be known. If the label says W, the fabric may be cleaned with water-based foam, sparingly. S means waterless solvents only, while WS allows both. X means no liquid at all, only vacuuming and light brushing, and any other cleaning has to be decided separately.

The codes are voluntary, so some furniture does not have them. In that case how the fabric reacts has to be assessed before the work, which is one more reason to send a photo. In a house where furniture has built up over the years from different shops, there may be several codes in one order, and the price of each item may differ.

Garden, dog and cat: what ends up on the sofa

In a house with a garden, what is on the floor also ends up on the upholstery: sand, soil, hair. With this kind of dirt, sofa cleaning in Suži usually helps. Urine is harder. With cats the smell area may be up to three times larger than the visible stain, and liquid that has reached the foam may hold the smell even after cleaning.

If the animal does it repeatedly, talk to a vet first. More on the work itself on the page sofa cleaning after a cat or dog.

Terrace cushions and car seats

Cushions from the terrace and garden chairs gather dust and damp over the summer. If they have removable covers, mention it in the form and check the care label. There is a fuller description on the page outdoor furniture cushion cleaning.

On the same visit you can also request car seat cleaning at your house: one seat from €12. In the form, write the car model and the seat material.

What to write in the form if you are in Suži

• A photo of the whole piece and a close-up of the stain or wear.
• A photo of the care label, if you can find it: it is often under the seat cushions or on the underside of the furniture.
• How to get there from Jaunciema gatve, if the house number cannot be seen from the road.
• Whether the room with the furniture is heated in winter.

The room you rarely use

If the house has a guest room or an upper floor that is little used in winter, the mattress and sofa there stand unaired for a long time. Before cleaning, air the room and look under the cushions and at the underside of the mattress.

If you see only dust, the job is simple: mattress cleaning in Suži is from €30 for a single. If there are dark patches on the underside, send a photo of them, because mould in the filling is a different matter from a dirty surface.

Price and travel in Suži

Suži is a neighbourhood of Riga, so travel is included in the price. The price depends on size, fabric, soiling and smell, and we agree it before the work. All prices are on the prices page.

Old grease stains, urine smell from the filling and wear, which is often mistaken for dirt, may stay. The specialist will tell you what to expect from a photo or on site.
