We clean at your home in Riga and the Riga region, and a two-seater sofa costs from €35. Dust usually comes out of fabric, but hardened paint, glue and filler may stay. Send a photo and the specialist will tell you what to expect.
When to order: only after the last dusty jobs
Order furniture cleaning at the very end, when the floor has been sanded, the walls painted and no more dust is being created. If a sofa is cleaned and the next day someone cuts plasterboard next to it, the job has to be done again. Before making a request, vacuum the thickest layer of dust off the furniture and air the room, so that new dust does not settle on it.
Before the specialist arrives, make sure there is room to move around and that the furniture is not piled with tools or materials. If plastic sheeting is still on the sofa, take it off carefully and carry it outside, so that the dust does not fall back onto the fabric.
Dust or stain: telling them apart from a photo
| What you see | What to expect |
|---|---|
| A light grey layer on the fabric | usually comes out |
| A thick layer of dust in seams and cushions | partly comes out; seams may keep a grey tone |
| Fresh water-based paint drips | can often be reduced; depends on the fabric |
| Hardened paint, filler, glue, expanding foam | may stay; we cannot promise a result in advance |
| A dark stain from workers' clothes or hands | depends on the fabric; send a close-up |
Furniture with code X on the label may only be cleaned with a vacuum cleaner and lightly brushed. If that is your sofa, the options for removing dirt are limited. That is exactly why you should photograph the label first: it is usually under the cushions or on the underside of the furniture.
What not to do with fresh paint and glue on fabric
- Do not use solvent from the renovation materials: solvents can damage upholstery foam.
- Do not rub: that works the stain into the fabric and spreads it.
- Do not heat with a hairdryer or use hot water: heat can set the stain.
- Do not use chlorine bleach: it changes the colour.
- Do not wet the fabric more than necessary: liquid can reach the filling.
If a stain is fresh and small, it is enough to blot it carefully with a clean cloth, without rubbing, and then photograph it. Leave larger stains alone. More on how fabric reacts to different types of cleaning: dry or wet furniture cleaning.
After renovation the air is often more humid
If plaster, levelling compound or paint is still drying in the room, the air there may be more humid than usual, and furniture then dries more slowly after cleaning. Airing and moving air help. The Health Inspectorate (Veselības inspekcija) calls 40–60% relative humidity comfortable. If you have a hygrometer, check the humidity before ordering; if the room is still very damp, it is better to wait before cleaning.
What comes out after renovation and what may stay
Usually comes out
- light building dust on the surface of fabric
- a grey tone on light fabric, if it is not from hardened stains
- some of the dust in cushions and seams
May stay
- hardened paint, glue, filler, expanding foam
- dust deep in the filling
- stains someone has already tried to clean with solvent
- fabric damaged by work with tools
If the renovation is still going on, cover the furniture and, if possible, carry it out of the room where cutting or sanding is going on.
How much furniture cleaning after renovation costs
The price is the same as in the price list: two-seater sofa from €35, three-seater from €45, corner sofa from €50, armchair from €20, dining chair from €7. Heavily soiled furniture usually costs more, as the price depends on size, fabric, how dirty it is, smell and distance. We agree the price before work starts.
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. See all prices in the price list.
