Hotel furniture cleaning

Room turnover and furniture cleaning are two different jobs

Daily room cleaning happens within an hour between check-out and check-in. For upholstered furniture cleaning this time is usually too short, as the fabric has to dry after the work. Drying depends on air humidity, ventilation, temperature, the fabric and the filling, so we do not promise a number of hours.

In practice a hotel has two options. You can block a room for a period agreed with the specialist, or clean rooms in small groups when occupancy is lower. The hotel chooses the group of rooms, as only you know the bookings.

What is different about a hotel room

• Armchair: the seat and armrests take the most use. It is often the only upholstered chair in the room.
• Headboard: an upholstered surface touched by hair and hands every day. It is often fixed, so the work takes place in the room.
• Sofa bed: from €40. Tell us whether the sleeping part needs cleaning too.
• Pouffe and dining chair: small items that together make up a large part of the price.
• Lobby and lobby bar: sofas and chairs used day and night. These have to be planned separately from the rooms.

Lobby and shared spaces

A lobby cannot be taken off sale like a room: guests sit there, wait and check in. Tell us when the lobby is quietest and whether part of the furniture can be cordoned off. The bar and breakfast room have more food stains, so the page on restaurant furniture cleaning is useful there too.

Smell in a room

If a guest has smoked in a room, the smell stays not only in the air but also in the fabric and filling. Smoke residue lasts a long time in textiles, and in studies methods such as painting and wiping surfaces have given only a short-lived result. The smell can be reduced, but it may come back from the filling. More: cigarette smoke smell in a sofa.

We work only with upholstery. Curtains, floors and room air are not part of this work, so a complete result in a smoker's room cannot be promised from furniture cleaning alone.

What to put in the form

• A list of rooms or furniture: how many armchairs, headboards, sofa beds, pouffes.
• Photos: the furniture in one room, the label, the worst stains.
• When the rooms are free: dates or the lowest-occupancy period, and how many rooms can be blocked at a time.
• Address, entrance, goods lift and how to reach the rooms.
• Whether any rooms have a cigarette smoke smell.

What a hotel can expect

If bedbugs are suspected in a room, that is pest control work, not cleaning, and we do not do it. The Health Inspectorate (Veselības inspekcija) keeps a register of such service providers.

How much hotel furniture cleaning costs

Armchair from €20, leather armchair from €20, headboard from €35, sofa bed from €40, pouffe from €10, dining chair from €7. Smell treatment is extra, from €15.
