Teika first grew as a colony of residential houses by Vidzemes šoseja, and next to the pre-war houses along Brīvības gatve there are office complexes and commercial premises. So here there may be two quite different jobs: one old piece of furniture for a family, or a row of chairs for a company.
Homes and offices: different jobs in one neighbourhood
| Question | Flat or detached house | Office or commercial premises |
|---|---|---|
| What is usually cleaned | sofa, armchair, mattress | chairs, sofa in the break area |
| What wears it out | everyday sitting, children, pets | sitting every working day, coffee |
| What matters in the request | the fabric, its age, what has happened to it | number of chairs, which floor, when the room is free |
| Price | from €35 for a two-seater sofa | from €10 per office chair, larger volumes by agreement |
In both cases we agree the price before the work, and travel in Teika is included.
Pre-war houses and old furniture
Buyers of plots in Teika once had to build free-standing houses for one or two families. In such houses and in the older low-rise buildings you often find furniture that has been inherited or restored. With a chair or sofa like that, the first thing is to understand what it is: fabric, filling, age.
Old upholstery has often lost its care label. The codes on labels are voluntary, so even newer furniture may not have them. Too much water on an unknown fabric can leave a water ring, or cause the colour to bleed or the fabric to shrink, so a piece like this must not be soaked.
Send a close-up of the fabric and a photo from underneath, if the filling can be seen there. If the piece is valuable or historic and the specialist thinks the risk is too great, you will be told before the work.
Leather and faux leather in the study and living room
A leather chair or sofa needs different care from a fabric piece. Most leather is damaged by direct water, it readily absorbs stains, and methods that suit textiles can damage its structure. That is why leather sofa cleaning is a different job, and on old leather not every stain can be removed.
With faux leather the main question is the coating. Over time it may peel, and cleaning cannot repair that. If cracks are already visible on a faux leather sofa, send a close-up so you know what to expect. The price for faux leather is the same as for a fabric sofa, while a leather two-seater sofa is from €40, a leather corner sofa from €50 and a leather armchair from €20.
Do not dry leather by a radiator. Heat dries it out and deforms it, so a leather sofa is better kept away from the radiator.
After cleaning: airing a flat on a main road
After cleaning, furniture has to be aired, and how long it takes to dry depends on the humidity, air movement, temperature, fabric and filling. We do not promise exact hours. If the window faces Brīvības gatve or Gustava Zemgala gatve and you would rather not keep it open, open a window on the courtyard side or air the room briefly but regularly.
For the bedroom, the Health Inspectorate (Veselības inspekcija) recommends opening a window for at least 15 minutes every morning. This habit is also useful if part of the order is mattress cleaning in Teika.
Office chairs and break areas
Teika has office complexes and technology companies whose chairs are used every working day. There is more on this work on the pages office chair cleaning and office sofa cleaning. The unit prices are the same, and for larger volumes we set the price by agreement.
In the form, give the number of chairs and add a few photos of the most worn ones. A fresh coffee stain usually comes out more easily than an old one, but that depends on the fabric. Shiny, worn armrests may stay as they are, because wear is not dirt.
Where to park and what else to mention
In Teika's dense blocks and by the main roads, parking may be harder, so write briefly in the form where it is possible to stop nearby. Also mention the floor and, if the building has a code or an intercom, how to get into the stairwell.
Smaller orders in Teika flats
For a flat, the minimum may be the main question. One armchair from €20 or one mattress from €30 does not reach it, so look around for what else in the flat needs cleaning: dining chairs, a pouffe, a headboard, removable cushions.
If the headboard (from €35) is upholstered, then together with the mattress it already goes over the minimum. More: upholstered bed and headboard cleaning.
What it costs and what may stay
A three-seater sofa is from €45, a corner sofa from €50, a sofa bed from €40, a leather two-seater sofa from €40. The minimum order is €45: if the total is lower, you pay €45. Travel in Teika is included. Full list: prices.
We do not promise that every stain will disappear. A long-set stain, cigarette smell from the filling and faded fabric may stay, and the specialist tells you that in advance.
