Chair cleaning in Riga

What you can expect from chair cleaning

On a chair, dirt builds up in one place: on the seat and along the top edge of the backrest. The area is small, but it is used every day. In a dining room there is food as well, and on an office chair a dark patch forms where a person sits and leans.

We clean the upholstery. The wooden or metal frame is not the main focus of this job, and cleaning does not repair scratched varnish. If the fabric of a chair is torn or worn, after cleaning it will be clean but still worn.

Dining and kitchen chairs

A dining chair costs from €7. It is worth cleaning all the chairs at once, as one clean chair looks different next to the others. At the table the fabric gets everything: sauce, oil, coffee and children's food. Blot a fresh stain with a clean cloth first and do not rub it.

A grease stain usually needs a different approach from a drink, and solvents can damage foam upholstery, so it is better not to try it at home. More detail: dining and kitchen chair cleaning.

Upholstered chairs and chairs with a backrest

A fully upholstered chair has more fabric, so its price may be higher than that of a simple chair with a padded seat. The price is set by size, fabric and dirt. More detail: upholstered chair cleaning. On chairs the label is often underneath, below the seat, and the codes W, S, WS and X mean the same as on a sofa.

If the chair seat can be unscrewed, do not remove the cover and do not wash it separately. The fabric can shrink, and the colour will no longer match the rest of the chair.

Armchairs and office chairs

An armchair costs from €20, a leather armchair from €20: armchair cleaning. An office chair costs from €10. For a chair used at home a normal request is enough, but for an office set see the page office chair cleaning.

For an office chair the rules are set by the manufacturer. If there are instructions or a label, photograph them.

Chair dry cleaning: the term and the job

In everyday speech, chair dry cleaning means the same as cleaning chairs at your home. The chairs do not have to go anywhere. Whether a fabric suits water-based foam or a waterless method is decided by the label, not the name. If there is no label, tell the specialist rather than trying to guess.

Leather and faux leather chairs need a different approach. Faux leather has no separate prices, but cleaning does not repair a peeling coating. Leather does not tolerate direct water and heat, so a stain on it is assessed separately: leather furniture cleaning.

Chair cleaning: price and minimum order

The minimum order is €45: if the total is lower, you pay €45. Travel is included in Riga and up to about 15 km outside Riga; further out it is from €10.

That is why a request for chairs differs from a request for a sofa. Six dining chairs start from €42, and that job will cost €45. Seven start from €49. Four chairs and a pouffe start from €38, but add an armchair and the sum is from €58. €45 is a lot for a single chair, so it is worth combining it with another piece of furniture, such as a sofa or mattress, and booking everything in one visit.

The price is affected by size, fabric, dirt, smell and distance. Smell treatment costs extra, from €15, and it does not promise that the smell will go. All prices.

If the stain is fresh or the chair is worn

Blot a fresh stain with a clean cloth, do not rub it and do not use hot water. If needed, lightly dampen the cloth in cold water, but do not soak the seat, as the liquid will get into the foam. For other stains, read the page stains on a sofa: the fabric rules are the same.

There are also cases where cleaning is not the right job. If the foam has gone flat or the fabric is worn down to the backing, the chair needs an upholstery repair, not cleaning. We do not do that, but we will tell you if we see it in the photo.

Pets and smell on chairs

If a cat or dog has picked out an upholstered chair, hair can usually be removed from the surface, but a urine smell may stay in the foam. Cat specialists write that the smell area can be up to three times larger than the visible stain. More detail: cat urine smell in furniture and dog urine smell in furniture.

How to prepare

• Photograph one chair in full and the dirtiest one up close.
• Write down the number of chairs and whether they are all the same.
• Say what the stains have already been treated with.
• Take off any seat pads and covers that are not fixed to the chairs.

After the job, let the chairs dry before you use them. The time depends on humidity, airing, temperature and the upholstery, so we do not promise a number of hours. More detail: how long a sofa takes to dry after cleaning.
