Vecrīga has kept medieval, Renaissance and baroque buildings, as well as plainer residential ones. We clean on site, and parking rules and access are the main things to settle before the work.
Access and parking in Vecrīga
In Vecrīga, access for transport and deliveries is regulated, the streets are narrow and parking is scarce. So before the work we need to know where a car can get to, and you should write this precisely in the form: the street side, the courtyard gate, the floor, whether there is a lift and who will open up.
Paid parking: Vecrīga is in zone R, with zones A and B at the edges. Zone R applies every day 6–24, zones A and B on weekdays 8–20 and on Saturdays 9–17. Write in the form where a car can be parked. Source: Riga City Council Regulations No. 206 and Rīgas Satiksme, checked 07.11.2026.
Hotels and serviced apartments
The sofa, chairs and mattresses in a hotel room are used differently from family furniture, because the guests change. What matters is the time between one guest leaving and the next arriving, so write in the form how many rooms can be left free and for how long.
More: hotel furniture cleaning and hotel and hostel mattress cleaning. The unit prices are the same as for a home, but for larger volumes we set the price by agreement.
For a short-let flat the job is closer to work in a home: one sofa and one or two mattresses. If you let one, see furniture cleaning for rental flats. Smoke smell after a guest is a separate question: it may stay in the fabric and come back.
Cafés and offices
In a café chairs are used every day, and stains come from food and drink. Before the work, write when the room is empty and how many chairs and upholstered benches need cleaning. See the pages café chair cleaning and restaurant furniture cleaning. A dining chair costs from €7, an office chair from €10.
For an office in a historic building, it matters that the chairs need airing for a while after cleaning, so it is better to plan the work for a time when nobody is sitting in the room. Office chair cleaning is described in more detail separately.
Smoke smell in a room or flat
Smoke is not just a smell in the air. In a study, cotton and polyester still held a considerable amount of smoke substances 19 months after exposure, and scientific overviews note that ordinary methods of indoor care give only a temporary result.
In a hotel room or rental flat where a guest has smoked, this means that cleaning may reduce the smell, but we cannot promise it will not come back from the filling. Smell treatment is from €15 extra. More: cigarette smoke smell in a sofa.
A smell in a flat's air and walls is a different job, and one we do not do: we work only with textiles.
A flat in an old building
If the window faces a narrow courtyard, airing may be slower than you would like. Think in advance about how to get the air moving, because after sofa cleaning in Vecrīga without airing, moisture stays in the filling for longer.
In an old brick building, damp has to be checked in the actual room, not assumed. The Health Inspectorate (Veselības inspekcija) regards 40–60% as comfortable. If the furniture is antique or restored, send a photo, and the specialist will tell you whether it can be cleaned with liquid at all.
Narrow stairs, small lifts and old furniture
In Vecrīga's buildings the stairs may be narrow, and carrying a large sofa down them is not easy. That is one more reason why cleaning on site is more convenient: the furniture stays in the room. Write the floor in the form, and whether there is a lift.
If the piece has been restored, write that and mention whether the fabric is original. Old fabric may have no label, and the codes are voluntary anyway. The specialist assesses whether the fabric will stand the moisture. If there is a risk, the specialist says so, and you decide.
What to write if you are requesting on behalf of a company
- Type of site: hotel, apartments, office, café.
- Number of pieces by type: chairs, sofas, mattresses.
- At least three photos, including one of the worst chair.
- When the room is free and how long it can stand empty.
- How to get in: gate, yard, door code, who will meet the specialist.
- Where a car can be parked.
For mattress cleaning in a hotel, check the manufacturer before you send a request: TEMPUR states that this material must not be washed or sponged, and then only dry care is suitable. Covers are cleaned according to the label.
Price and what we cannot promise
Travel in Vecrīga is included. The minimum order is €45: if the total is lower, you pay €45. The price depends on size, fabric, soiling and smell, and we agree it before the work. More: prices.
Wear and fading stay, and an old red wine stain that has soaked into the fabric may stay too. If the piece is valuable, ask beforehand.
