Large synthetic rugs and fitted covering are cleaned on site, wool and delicate rugs with pick-up. Ogre is further than about 15 km from the Riga boundary, so travel is from €10, and pick-up and return €10 and another €10.
Jaunogre: apartment buildings and a large rug in a small room
About two thirds of Ogre residents live in the Jaunogre housing estate. If you live in an apartment building in the estate, a rug may take up a large part of the room, and it is not easy to carry out through the stairwell.
Such a synthetic rug with a short pile is cleaned on site, and the price is from €6/m². Clear chairs, small tables and flower pots off the rug beforehand, and mention in your request any heavy wardrobe or sofa that stands on it. If the rug is wool or cotton, it is cleaned in the workshop with pick-up, from €10/m², and then it is important to write the floor and whether there is a lift.
Example: a 2 × 3 m synthetic rug is 6 m² × €6 = €36, so you pay €45, and travel is added. A 3 × 4 m synthetic rug is 12 m² × €6 = from €72. More: large rug cleaning. When the cleaning total comes to less than €45, you still pay €45, so list all your rugs in one request from the start.
Old summer houses and the historic centre
In 1875 intensive building of summer houses began in Ogre, and by the First World War there were about 300 of them. Today the town has a historic centre and detached-house areas. If the windows are tall, write the curtain length and the height of the curtain rail in your request.
If long curtains hang in tall windows, they are priced by the fabric, not by the size of the window: for heavy, night and double curtains from €3.70/m² of fabric. If a curtain has a lining, read the labels of both fabrics. Natural fibres move in damp, and some curtains can change length by up to 3%. Taking curtains down and rehanging them is a separate job, priced case by case according to 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: curtain dry cleaning.
A summer house in winter: a rug without heating
If a summer house or seasonal house stands unheated in winter, it is better to clean the rug before autumn and store it in a dry place. Conservators advise not using cellars and attics, and not folding the rug but rolling it in the direction of the pile onto a wide tube and covering it with a cotton cloth. The rug should be kept off the floor.
Moth larvae feed on wool and avoid light, so for a wool rug in a dark place they are a bigger risk. If the rug already has live larvae, that is pest control work. More: how to store a rug and carpet cleaning in a private house. If the rug has a complicated pattern, also attach a close-up photo to your request so that the fibre can be seen.
Ice jams on the Ogre river near its mouth at the Daugava have flooded houses and garden-society areas. If a rug in a house or summer cottage has been flooded, cleaning it is a separate case. More: carpet cleaning after a flood.
Shops, an office or service premises: fitted covering
Offices and shops may have fitted soft floor covering that cannot be lifted, so it is cleaned on site. Carpet makers, for example Shaw, advise professional hot-water extraction once every 12–18 months, depending on the traffic.
For fitted covering up to 100 m² the price is from €4/m², over 100 m² from €2.50/m² for the whole area. For business customers the price follows the area and the volume of work. Give the area in your request, together with the hours when the rooms are free. More: carpet cleaning for businesses and fitted carpet cleaning.
The northern and southern parts: what to say about access
The A6 and the Riga–Daugavpils railway lead towards Riga, but the crossings of the Daugava, the Ogre river, the railway and the main road determine the practical routes.
So in your request, give the full address, say whether it is north or south of the railway, and where a car can stop by the house. Add the floor and whether there is a lift.
- the size of the rug in m², without the fringe, and its shape;
- photos of the top, the underside and close-ups of the stains;
- whether the rug smells, or a cat or a dog lives in the house;
- whether the rug is fitted or loose.
Prices in Ogre
The minimum order is €45: if the total is lower you pay €45, and this covers cleaning only. Travel to Ogre is from €10, since the town lies more than about 15 km beyond the Riga boundary. Pick-up and return costs €10, plus another €10 for the distance over about 15 km from the Riga boundary.
Example: a 2 × 3 m wool rug is 6 m² × €10 = from €60, plus €10 and another €10, from €80 in total. A small 1 × 1.5 m wool rug is 1.5 m² × €10 = €15, so cleaning is €45, and €20 is added, €65 in total. Where wool has absorbed old urine, a smell can remain even after cleaning.
