Office sofa cleaning

How an office sofa differs from a home sofa

A home sofa is used by one family. On an office sofa, strangers sit in their coats with a coffee mug and a laptop. It often stands by a window or in reception, so wear and stains are visible to everyone who comes through the door.

Timing matters in an office too. You cannot simply move the sofa to another room if it is the only place where a visitor waits. So think about when it is not needed, for example when no meetings are planned.

Fabric, velour, faux leather, leather

• Fabric: the care code sets the cleaning method. Too much moisture can leave a water ring.
• Velour and other pile fabrics: pressure marks and differences in shade come from use. This is a property of the fabric, not a stain, so they may stay.
• Faux leather: the coating may peel over time, and cleaning cannot repair that.
• Leather: direct contact with water and heat damage it, and stains soak into the leather. More: can a leather sofa be cleaned.

Washing removable zipped cushions separately is not recommended: the fabric may shrink, the lining may be damaged and the colour may differ from the rest of the sofa. If the cushions are not sewn on, show this in a photo, as a removable cushion is a separate line in the price list.

When to clean several sofas at once

If the sofas are on several floors or in several offices, put them all on one list. Then the specialist sees all the work together and can say whether it is one visit and what the price will be for that volume. Sofas requested separately may cost more, as the minimum order applies to each one.

What to put in the form

• How many sofas there are, what size and what shape: two-seater, three-seater, corner.
• The material, if you know it, and a photo of the label. The label is often under the cushions or on the underside of the sofa.
• A photo of the full length of the sofa and close-ups of the worst spots.
• When the sofa is not needed and how long you can manage without it.
• Whether the sofa stands by a window or a radiator and whether the room can be aired.

What to consider before a client visit

Do not plan the cleaning right before an important visit. If the fabric is damp after cleaning, it cannot be used for a while, and drying depends on air humidity, ventilation, the fabric and the filling, not on a promise from us. More: how long a sofa takes to dry.

Take decorative cushions, blankets and cables off the sofa and leave clear access from the front. If the sofa is very heavy or stands tight against a wall, show this in a photo.

What usually comes out and what may stay

Cleaning does not restore fabric bleached by the sun, and on leather ink often stays. From the photos the specialist will tell you what is worth spending money on.

How much office sofa cleaning costs

Velour and faux leather have no separate prices: we use the fabric sofa prices. The price depends on size, fabric, how dirty it is, smell and distance, and for larger volumes we agree it separately. 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.
