We clean at your home in Riga and the Riga region, from €40 for the whole sofa. The sleeping area is often dirtier than the visible part and may have different upholstery, so before giving a price we find out what pulls out and who has slept on it. Send a photo of the sofa open and a specialist will tell you the price.
Why a sofa bed is not an ordinary sofa
A sofa seat comes into contact with clothing. The sleeping area of a sofa bed comes into contact with skin, sweat and sometimes a child or an animal. It is folded away most of the time, so the owner often only notices a stain or smell when guests arrive.
The mechanism is another difference. Different mechanisms have seams and folds in different places, and some sofas do not open fully if they stand against a wall. So it matters to send a photo with the sofa open.
How the sleeping area differs from the seat
If the sleeping area has a separate mattress or a thick layer of foam, mattress rules apply to it rather than sofa rules. Foam is sensitive to moisture: too much water can damage its structure or leave moisture inside. In a spring core, moisture can cause rust. So such a surface needs as little liquid as possible.
If the sleeping area is the same fabric as the seat, the code on the label applies. The label is often under the cushions or on the underside of the sofa.
Moisture risks for foam and spring mattresses: IKEA and Emma mattress care instructions. They apply to mattresses; we apply them to the sleeping area of a sofa bed by analogy. Checked 07.11.2026.
What to send and what to prepare
- the sofa closed and open;
- the sleeping surface across its full width and the worst spot up close;
- whether the sleeping area is an everyday bed or for guests only;
- whether there is a separate mattress or only upholstery;
- whether the sofa has a storage box and whether everything in it is clean;
- what the smell is, if you notice one, and in which part.
Before the visit, take off the bedding, empty the box and check that the mechanism opens. If it does not open or is broken, say so straight away, because otherwise the sleeping area cannot be reached. If the sleeping area has been cleaned, leave the sofa open until it is dry.
What to expect after cleaning
Usually comes out
- everyday dirt on the seat and back;
- greyness on the sleeping surface;
- fresh stains that have not soaked into the upholstery.
May stay
- sweat or urine smell, if it has reached the foam;
- an old yellowish sweat stain;
- changes caused by friction from the mechanism;
- sagging foam and wear.
If a sofa is used as an everyday bed, cleaning does not treat a dust mite allergy. The Health Inspectorate (Veselības inspekcija) notes that mites breed in mattresses and upholstered furniture in humid air. More detail: dust mites in a mattress and sofa.
How much sofa bed cleaning costs
A sofa bed costs from €40 for the whole sofa. The minimum order is €45: if the total is lower, you pay €45. If you add, say, cushions from €2 or a chair, you will usually reach this threshold. Travel is included in Riga and up to about 15 km outside Riga; further out it is from €10. The price depends on size, fabric, how dirty it is, smell and distance, and we agree it before the work. If someone sleeps on the sofa every night, compare with mattress cleaning too. For a corner sofa bed a specialist gives the price from a photo, because the starting price for a corner sofa is from €50: see corner sofa cleaning and prices.
