Furniture cleaning in Saulkrasti - for summer houses after winter

The first day after winter

In a closed summer house in spring, the sofa may smell of a cellar. That does not mean the furniture has to be thrown out, but that the cause has to be understood first. Go about it in this order.

1. Air and heat the house Open the windows and, if the house can be heated, do that for a few days. Sometimes that alone reduces part of the smell.
2. Look at the furniture from all sides Lift the cushions, and look at the back of the sofa and the underside of the mattress. Patches matter more than smell.
3. Assess it If there is mould on the surface of the fabric or deeper, send a photo before ordering. Mould in the filling usually means replacement, and cleaning does not solve it.
4. Then send a request If the only trouble is mustiness, dust and old stains, cleaning makes sense, and the result is usually noticeable.

The Health Inspectorate (Veselības inspekcija) calls humidity above 80% a high risk of mould. If the fabric or filling has gone mouldy, it usually has to be replaced, and it is more honest to say so at once. More: mould in a mattress, mould in a sofa and smelly mattress.

Gates and access to a summer house

In a gardening cooperative it helps to note in the form whether the gates are locked, who opens them and whether a car can get to the house.

Saulkrasti stretches along the sea and the A1, and one “Saulkrasti” address can mean quite a different journey. Enter the name of the cooperative, the street and the nearest station, if you know them. In summer, traffic, parking and access to places by the sea may be harder, so spring and autumn are more convenient here.

Two mattresses, three cushions and a sofa

A summer house may have one old sofa, a few mattresses and terrace cushions, and all of them can go into one order. Travel is paid per trip, so it is worth combining them.

• A two-seater sofa from €35 and three removable cushions from €2: from €41, so something still has to be added to reach the minimum.
• Two single mattresses: from €60.
• A sofa bed and a double mattress: from €85.
• A corner sofa and a pouffe: from €60.

Cleaning does not save a mattress that has gone mouldy or got soaked. If it is only dusty and is slept on for a few summer weeks, surface cleaning is usually enough. See the pages mattress cleaning at home in Saulkrasti and outdoor furniture cushion cleaning.

Guest houses and seasonal lets

Saulkrasti has guest houses and properties used seasonally. Before the season there is time when a room can be left open until the furniture dries, but in mid-season that chance rarely comes up. The starting prices are the same as for a family, and larger numbers are agreed separately.

Start with hotel furniture cleaning or hotel and hostel mattress cleaning. If a room has bed bugs, that is a job for pest control, not cleaning.

If you use a camper in summer, it has its own page too: camper furniture cleaning.

Flat and detached house outside the season

People also live in Saulkrasti all year round, and in apartment buildings and detached houses the questions are different: the everyday sofa, a child's mattress, car seats after the beach. A child car seat starts from €20, and for its straps and buckle the instructions decide. As for sand: vacuum it out of the gaps and from under the cushions before the work.

Airing on the coast depends on the weather: on a damp day drying drags on. How long depends on the air, temperature, fabric and filling, so we do not give a figure.

Price in Saulkrasti

The town centre is about 33 km from the Riga boundary, so travel is from €10. The minimum order is €45: if the total is lower, you pay €45. The price is affected by size, fabric, soiling, smell and distance. Full list: prices.

Mould patches, a set-in smell from long-term damp and old stains may stay. A photo usually makes it possible to say so before the trip.
