Large synthetic rugs and fitted carpet are cleaned on site, but wool and delicate rugs with pick-up and return. Travel in Ikšķile is included in the price, pick-up costs €10, and photos of the top and the underside of the rug are the first step.
Detached houses, low-rise projects and the historic centre: what rugs are here
Ikšķile is a Daugava suburban town with detached-house districts, newer residential development, low-rise projects and a historic centre. Homes differ, and so do the rugs: a large rug in the bigger rooms, a runner on the stairs or in the hallway, a smaller wool or cotton rug in the bedroom.
A newer low-rise project may have soft floor covering fitted throughout the flat or house. Such soft floor covering cannot be lifted, so it is cleaned on site, and the price is from €4/m² up to 100 m². In a detached house with several separate rugs the split is different: synthetic rugs are cleaned at home, but wool, silk and hand-made rugs with pick-up.
The fibre is hard to tell by looking. If there is no label, photograph the top and the underside of the rug and attach the photos to your request. If in doubt, in the form field “Where to clean?” choose “Not sure”, and a specialist will advise from the photos. We do not do repairs or fringe restoration.
Stairs and hallway in a detached house
In a two-storey detached house, the carpet on the stairs and the hallway runner are where all the household walk, so the carpet wears most there. If the carpet is glued or nailed down, it cannot be rolled up and carried out, so it is cleaned on site. In your request, write the number of steps and the length of the hallway in metres. If the runner has a fringe, measure without it. The fringe is not counted in the calculation.
For a hallway runner the price is calculated by area: a runner 0.8 m wide and 5 m long is 4 m². If it is synthetic and movable, it can be cleaned at home from €6/m²: 4 m² × €6 = €24, so you pay €45 (the minimum order). More: stairs and hallway carpet cleaning.
Children’s room: a play rug and everything that falls on it
If a children’s room has a play rug and a child has spilled juice or milk on it, blot a fresh stain with a clean cloth, do not rub and do not use hot water. Rinse blood and protein stains with cold water, because heat sets them.
A fresh stain usually comes out better than an old one. Paint, hair dye and bleach spots often stay. Cleaning reduces dust in a rug, but it is not a treatment for allergy. On this job: children’s rug cleaning and how to remove a stain from a rug.
The railway and the Daugava bank: what to say about access
The A6 and the electrified railway lead towards Riga, Salaspils and Ogre. The railway line and the Daugava bank limit the alternative routes between parts of the town, so write which side of the railway the house is on.
So in your request, state the full address, from which side to approach, where a car can stop by the house and whether the access road is steep or narrow. If the rug has to go to the workshop, write the floor and whether there is a lift.
Sheers and day curtains in house windows
If the large windows of a newer house have sheers and day curtains, they can be cleaned together with the rugs. For light and day curtains and sheers the price is from €2.30/m² of fabric, for heavy ones from €3.70/m². Light fades fibres, and sheers in a sunny window can yellow; not every yellowing can be removed. The width and length of the curtain itself are counted, not the size of the window.
Curtain take-down and rehanging is a separate job with a price depending on the situation: it depends on the length and height of the curtain rail, the number and weight of the curtains, the type of fixing and whether a ladder is needed. More: sheer curtain cleaning and curtain take-down and rehanging. If your request already has photos of both sides, a specialist can usually tell whether the curtain has a lining, because the face fabric and the lining may be different fibres, and then the labels of both fabrics must be read.
