Sofa and mattress cleaning in Vangaži - for flats and houses

Where Vangaži is

The town of Vangaži is in Ropaži municipality and has to be told apart from the neighbouring Inčukalns area. The address matters here: the town centre is about 20 km from the Riga boundary, so further than the roughly 15 km up to which travel is included. So in Vangaži travel is from €10.

The A2 and the railway line link the town with Riga and Sigulda, and access to some places depends on the crossings of the main road and railway. If the house is outside the town, in the wooded surroundings, enter the village or the nearest street.

Flats in the factory settlement

Vangaži grew up as a workers' settlement for a reinforced concrete structures plant, by a quarry opened in 1955. That says nothing about a particular flat, but in an apartment building with a small room, an older sofa often serves for a long time.

The furniture does not have to be carried, because the work is done on site. If the room is also the bedroom, a sofa bed from €40 works by day and by night. If the flat is damp or the corners are cold, say so before the work: more airing will then be needed, and the furniture will take longer to dry.

In a flat, one of the most practical questions is where to sleep. If you sleep on the sofa, request cleaning for a time when you can spend the night elsewhere, or prepare a spare mattress.

An old mattress: clean it or replace it

With a mattress the choice is clearer than with a sofa. Cleaning makes sense if the stains are on the surface and there is no smell in the core. Replacement should be considered if the mattress has been wet inside, smells of mould or has sagged. Cleaning does not restore springs or the shape of foam, and moisture that has got into a mattress may stay and bring the smell back.

Prices: single from €30, double from €45 (one side), second side +50%. More: mattress cleaning at home in Vangaži, cleaning urine from a mattress and mattress cleaning after an illness. If someone ill has slept on the mattress, cleaning helps to tidy up the surface but does not disinfect, and we do not promise that.

Old fabric: what the label tells you

On an older sofa the care label may be hidden under the seat cushions or by the base, or it may be gone. If it is there, take a photo of it. The letter W points to water-based foam, S to waterless cleaning, WS allows both, and X means that liquids must not be used: only vacuuming and light brushing are allowed.

If the code cannot be found, say so. The fabric can be assessed from a photo, but too much water on an unknown fabric can leave a water ring, cause shrinkage or change the colour, so such a piece has to be worked on with care.

On a velour or chenille sofa, pressure marks are normal, and cleaning does not remove them. The coating on faux leather may peel over time, and then cleaning does not repair it: for such a sofa a cover or replacement makes more sense.

A flat where people have smoked

If the sofa has stood in a flat where people smoked for years, the smell is more than a surface matter. In studies smoke substances were still in fabrics after 19 months, and cleaning may reduce the smell, but it may come back from the filling. Smell treatment can be ordered separately, from €15 extra, but that too is no promise. If the walls are being painted and a new sofa brought in, the old one is usually not worth spending money on.

Detached house and yard

Detached houses in Vangaži may also come with a forest edge, a dog and a shed with terrace furniture. Here travel pays off if more furniture is cleaned: a corner sofa and an armchair start from €70, a two-seater sofa and six dining chairs from €77. There is a separate page on detached houses: furniture cleaning in a private house in Vangaži.

If the dog's sleeping place is on the sofa, hair and mud are usually the simplest case. Smell in the filling is harder, and it may stay. More: pet hair on a sofa.
