The neighbourhood has both a private house district, “old” Ziepniekkalns, and blocks of multi-storey housing, the Ziepniekkalns housing estate. In both parts the work is done on site and the prices are the same, but what to request and how to prepare differ.
Housing estate or private house: what to request
| Question | Flat on the housing estate | Old Ziepniekkalns, private house |
|---|---|---|
| Typical furniture | corner sofa, mattress | several pieces, terrace cushions |
| What matters in the request | floor, code, where to stop inside the block | what is in which room, where to drive up |
| After cleaning | airing through the window, doors open | airing in several rooms |
| €45 minimum | a corner sofa from €50 reaches it at once | several smaller items add up |
This is the general picture. Buildings and flats in one neighbourhood differ, and a photo says more.
A corner sofa in a small flat
Corner sofa cleaning costs from €50, a large corner sofa from €60, a U-shaped one from €65. In a flat it does not have to be carried anywhere.
A corner sofa with a pull-out part is also a bed, so open it and take a photo of the inside too. If it stands tight against the wall, write that in the form and clear the space before the specialist arrives. On a light fabric, marks from food and cream show up well, and they may be harder to remove than they seem.
Mattress topper and a child's bed
If you sleep with a mattress topper, it takes up what would otherwise reach the mattress. Mattress topper cleaning is a separate job, because it is thinner and usually has a cover. If the cover is removable, check its label before doing anything.
A child's mattress has its own arithmetic: the size is small, but the minimum does not change. See children's mattress cleaning. To reach the minimum, you can request another item with it: a single mattress from €30 and an armchair from €20 come to over €45.
Mattress: both sides or one
Mattress cleaning in Ziepniekkalns is from €30 for a single and from €45 for a double, one side. The second side costs +50%, and it is cleaned if it really is used. Without a good reason it is not needed.
A stain in a mattress may come from sweat, coffee, a child or an animal. Gently blot a fresh stain with a clean cloth without rubbing, and do not use hot water, because heat can set the stain. For blood, always cold water. There is more on this on the page stains on a mattress.
If the mattress smells from inside or has gone mouldy, the honest advice may be to replace it. On allergy, you should know that cleaning does not treat it, and that humidity above 50% favours mites.
Airing and small flats
Air the flat so that the air moves right through it. Open a window and the doors, if the weather allows. After mattress cleaning, do not put a sheet on straight away. How long the fabric and filling stay damp depends on the air and the materials, so we do not promise a number of hours.
If you dry laundry indoors, it is better not to do so that day in the room with the cleaned furniture, because there will be more moisture in the air. The Health Inspectorate (Veselības inspekcija) recommends drying laundry outdoors, if possible.
Animals and smell in the private house part
Private houses in old Ziepniekkalns may have a dog or cat, and the sofa is often their place too. Surface dirt usually comes out, but urine in the filling may stay. Smell treatment costs from €15 extra, and that too is no promise that the smell will disappear.
If a cat picks the same spot repeatedly, talk to a vet first. More: cleaning urine from a sofa.
Shops, warehouses and offices on the edge of Ziepniekkalns
On the edge of the neighbourhood there are warehouses, production and retail sites, where chairs and sofas serve staff and customers. If staff room chairs or office chairs need cleaning, list them in the form. An office chair costs from €10, a dining chair from €7, and larger volumes are by agreement: furniture cleaning for businesses.
A production or warehouse chair may have oil marks. These have to be handled differently, because solvents can damage foam, and we do not promise the result in advance.
Access within the large estate blocks
The large estate blocks and busy main roads affect how you can reach a building. On the housing estate, write which street is easier to come from and which end of the building is yours. On the Rīgas Satiksme map, Ziepniekkalns has only a short stretch of zone D, but check whether there are signs by your building. Also mention the front door code.
Price, travel and what stays
Travel in Ziepniekkalns is included. The minimum order is €45: if the total is lower, you pay €45. The price rises with size, soiling and smell. Full list: prices. Old urine stains, a yellow ring in a mattress and smell from the filling may stay, and wear does not respond to cleaning.
