We clean at your home in Riga and the Riga region. Velour has no separate price: it costs the same as a fabric sofa, a two-seater from €35, a three-seater from €45. Send a photo and a specialist will tell you the price and what to expect.
Stain or pile mark: the difference matters
Some of what looks like a stain on velour is not a stain. Velour and chenille are pile fabrics on which pressure marks and shade changes appear with use. A sofa manufacturer describes this as a property of the fabric, not damage. The angle of the light changes how the pile looks, so a seat may seem lighter or darker.
Cleaning removes dirt but does not transform the fabric. If a light patch is only flattened pile, cleaning may not change it. So it helps to photograph the seat from two angles: if the dark area disappears when you change viewpoint, it is most likely not a stain.
What velour needs from cleaning
- Less moisture. Water and pressure can permanently flatten viscose pile.
- No rubbing. Viscose pile must not be rubbed or steamed.
- Blot liquid from the edges towards the centre so that the stain does not spread.
- Brush the pile only when the fabric is completely dry, and only in the direction of the pile.
Velour can be made from various fibres. The rule we have verified is about viscose pile, so check the fibre content on the label. The rest is set by the code: W, S, WS or X, explained on the page fabric sofa cleaning.

What to do with a fresh stain on velour
Blot the liquid with a clean, absorbent cloth from the outside in, and do not rub. Use only cool water and do not use heat. Then leave the fabric to dry and do not brush it while it is damp. If the stain is large or the label code is not W, do not wet it again, and send a photo. On different stains: stains on a sofa.
What usually comes out and what may stay on velour
Usually comes out
- dust in the pile and everyday dirt;
- fresh drink and food stains, if they have not been rubbed;
- greyness on seats, if the pile is not damaged.
May stay
- pressure marks and shade change: that is a property of the fabric;
- flattened or broken pile;
- a ring from earlier cleaning that was too wet;
- a stain that has been rubbed and has already changed the direction of the pile.
If seats have become shiny, that usually means wear, not dirt. In such cases a specialist will tell you before the work whether cleaning makes sense.
How to prepare and what to send
Photograph the seat from the front and from the side, find the label and say whether the stain has already been cleaned. After cleaning, let the fabric dry, and do not sit on it or press it. Ventilate the room as far as the weather allows. We do not promise a drying time, because it depends on air humidity, room temperature and the fabric.
How much velour sofa cleaning costs
For velour we use fabric sofa prices: a two-seater from €35, a three-seater from €45, a sofa bed from €40, a corner sofa from €50, a large corner sofa from €60, a U-shaped sofa from €65. 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. Travel is included in Riga and up to about 15 km outside Riga; further out it is from €10. We agree the price before the work. All prices.
