A café has few chairs, but they are in use all day, and the main stains are milky coffee, syrup and oil. Send a photo of one chair and tell us the number and when you are closed. The specialist will give you the price and say what may stay.
A small place, the same chairs every day
A restaurant has a dining room and closed days, but a café has few seats and needs every one of them. The key question here is which chairs really need cleaning and which can wait.
Mark the chairs people sit on most often. You can start with those rather than the whole room. If the chairs are all one model, the price is simple: the number of chairs multiplied by the unit price, taking the minimum order into account. If there are two types of chair, list both separately, as the price may differ.
- Chair with an upholstered seat: one item from €7.
- Cushion on a wooden chair: if it is removable, price from €2.
- Small sofa in the corner: see the sofa prices below.
- Pouffes and round seats: from €10.
Milky coffee is a different stain from black coffee
A coffee stain on fabric is one of the most common. First check the label, as it sets what the fabric will tolerate, and too much moisture can reach the filling. If the coffee has milk and syrup in it, the stain may be sticky and stubborn. How much stays depends on the fabric and the age of the stain.
Staff have one rule: blot any spill gently with a clean cloth straight away, without rubbing, and do not use hot water. The fabric must not be soaked, as liquid may get into the filling. More: wine and coffee stains.
What to put in the form
- The number of chairs and cushions per type.
- A photo of one chair and a close-up of the worst spot.
- When the café is closed or which day is the quietest.
- Whether the cushions are removable and whether they have a label.
- Address and how to reach it by vehicle, if the street has restrictions.
When to plan it
Plan the cleaning for your quietest time, not for Monday morning before opening. If the fabric is damp, the chair cannot be used straight away, and drying depends on air humidity, ventilation, the fabric and the filling. If the café needs all its seats available, divide the chairs into two batches and say so in the form.
If the café has a terrace, outdoor cushions are a different job: outdoor cushion cleaning.
What usually comes out and what may stay
Usually comes out
- Everyday dirt on seats
- Fresh coffee stains
- Crumbs in seams
May stay
- An old coffee stain with milk and syrup
- Oil stains that have soaked into the foam
- Scratches and wear on faux leather
- Smell, if the liquid has reached the filling
If the chairs are worn, cleaning will not restore their appearance. From the photos the specialist will say whether they are worth cleaning or need reupholstering. We do not do reupholstery.
How much café chair cleaning costs
Dining chair from €7, office chair from €10, pouffe from €10, removable cushion from €2, armchair from €20, two-seater sofa from €35. The price depends on size, fabric, how dirty it is, smell and distance.
The minimum order is €45: if the total is lower, you pay €45. This means that up to six chairs at €7 cost €45, and seven chairs are already above the minimum. For larger volumes we agree the price separately. Travel is included in Riga and up to about 15 km outside Riga; further out it is from €10. The full price list is on the prices page.
