Upholstery cleaning Krakow

Upholstery fabric manufacturers recommend extraction cleaning once every 12 to 18 months in a home without pets and once every 6 to 12 months where a dog or cat lives. A mattress is worth cleaning every year, and every six months with a dust mite allergy, because mites multiply faster in mattress foam than anywhere else in the flat. An office chair used eight hours a day collects sweat and skin oil and needs cleaning about as often as a mattress.

Beyond the routine there are situations where cleaning makes sense right away: a fresh wine or coffee stain, recovery from an illness, a new dog or cat at home, moving into a flat with the previous tenant's furniture, buying a second-hand sofa, handing back a rented flat, preparing a short-term rental apartment between guests. In Krakow we serve that last group especially often, because apartments in the Old Town, Kazimierz and Podgórze work without a break.

It makes no sense to clean upholstery when the foam has rotted, the fabric is worn through to the weave, or the furniture stands in a damp room without ventilation, because it would dry too slowly. In such cases we say so during the confirmation call, not after arriving.

Upholstery cleaning Krakow comes with travel included across the whole city: from Nowa Huta and Bieńczyce to Bronowice and Zwierzyniec, from Prądnik Biały to Swoszowice. Most of our jobs are in Podgórze, Krowodrza, Dębniki and Prądnik Czerwony, where families with small children and dogs live in the new housing estates. In the tenement houses of the Old Town and Kazimierz we work differently than in blocks: the equipment goes up the stairs, so when booking we ask about the floor and the lift, and in the paid parking zone we allow time to find a space.

Sofa cleaning Krakow is not only sofas in flats. We regularly clean chairs in restaurants in Kazimierz, chairs in beauty and dental clinics, sofas in photo studios and waiting rooms, upholstered seating in offices in Zabłocie and Czyżyny. For companies we issue VAT invoices, work after hours and at weekends, and with regular cooperation agree a discount depending on frequency.

Furniture upholstery cleaning Krakow combines with other services in one visit: carpet and fitted carpet cleaning, mattress cleaning, cleaning a flat after a tenant, or ozone treatment when the smell of smoke or pets has to leave the whole room. One team and one trip cost less than three contractors on three different days.

Sofa cleaning starts with the cushions. If they come off, we clean them on both sides and stand them on edge to dry so air reaches the underside. On a corner sofa the dirtiest places are usually next to the armrests and the chaise you lie on; there we make two passes. Sofa beds have a mattress or foam under the seat: we clean it only when it is upholstered, not bare foam, because that takes days to dry.

The mattress is the most underrated piece of furniture in the home. Over a year a person leaves tens of litres of sweat and skin flakes in it, which dust mites feed on. When cleaning a mattress we vacuum it on both sides with a HEPA filter, clean the side you sleep on or both, and leave it upright by an open window. Double-sided mattresses are worth cleaning on both sides once a year; with an allergy sufferer at home choose the one-sided option every six months.

Upholstered headboards and dining chairs get dirty from hair, cosmetics and hands resting on them. They are small items, so it pays to add them to the visit when we are coming for the sofa anyway. A pram is cleaned as a whole: hood, seat, straps and basket, with no disassembly by the parent; the fabric dries by the evening, so the pram is ready for a walk in the morning.
