Carpet cleaning with pick-up in Bolderāja - for standard-design flats and low-rise houses

Standard-design flats, housing estates and old low-rise housing

Bolderāja is a large north-western neighbourhood on the left bank of the Daugava with a mix of port, residential and natural areas. In the early 1950s a workers' village of the sand-lime brick factory with standard-design flats was built, and the residential district was planned as two housing estates.

The range of housing is wide: apartment-building housing estates, historic low-rise development and detached houses. If a flat is in a standard-design building, the rooms can be small, and a rug takes up a large part of the floor. Then the question is not only about the fibre, but also about whether the rug can be taken out through the door and down the stairs.

If you are not sure which option to choose, in the “Where to clean?” field choose “Not sure, please advise” and add photos of the top and the underside.

A large rug in a small room

If a rug in a room is 2 × 3 m or larger, cleaning it on site can be simpler than carrying it away. For a short-pile synthetic rug the price is from €6/m²: 2 × 3 m is 6 m², 6 × €6 = from €36, and because that is under €45, the charge is €45. For a long-pile or thick rug the price is from €10/m².

In a small space, drying is affected by ventilation. How long a rug takes to dry depends on the fibre, the pile density, the backing, the room temperature and the air humidity. After cleaning, open a window so that the air moves. See large rug cleaning in Bolderāja.

If the rug is round or oval, write the diameter: the price is counted by the rectangle around the rug.

A wool rug in a small flat

A wool rug in a flat can lie there for years. Conservators warn against using shop-bought rug shampoos on important rugs, because after such cleaning dirt sticks to the fibre more. Hot water together with rubbing usually makes wool felt, and the rug can shrink.

So a wool rug goes to a workshop: for a wool or cotton rug the price is from €10/m² plus pick-up and return of €10 (both ways together). Read wool rug cleaning in Bolderāja.

A children’s room: blood, wine and other stains

If a protein stain, such as blood, has got on a rug in a children’s room, use cold water, not hot, because heat sets the stain. For a wine stain, blot up the excess liquid, clean lightly with cool water and do not soak.

Before using any product, test it in an inconspicuous place and read the label. More: children’s rug cleaning in Bolderāja.

A fitted carpet in a flat and a small house

If a flat or a house has a fitted carpet, it cannot be taken off and carried away. Fitted carpet cleaning up to 100 m² costs from €4/m², for example 30 m² is 30 × €4 = from €120. Travel is included.

For a fitted carpet, write the area in square metres and the rooms. Makers such as Shaw advise professional cleaning every 12–18 months depending on traffic. Read fitted carpet cleaning in Bolderāja.

Sheer and day curtains at a sunny window

At a standard-size window, a sheer or a day curtain can hang in the sun all day. Light dries the fibres and fades the colours, and yellowing can come from sun, smoke or cooking fumes. Not every yellowing can be removed, so we cannot promise they will turn white.

Sheer curtain cleaning costs from €2.30/m² of fabric. Measure the curtain itself, not the window: width times length. See sheer curtain cleaning in Bolderāja.

How to submit a request from Bolderāja

Daugavgrīvas šoseja is the main link with the rest of Riga. In the request, write the floor, whether there is a lift and where a car can stop near the house, and add the size of the rug in metres without the fringe. For curtains write the size of the fabric, because the price is set by the area of the fabric.

For thin curtains and sheers the price is from €2.30/m², and for heavy curtains from €3.70/m². If both rugs and curtains need cleaning, write them in one request: curtain cleaning in Bolderāja.

If there is a cat or a dog at home

If there is a cat or a dog at home, the urine smell can cover a larger area than the visible stain. A heavily soiled material may stay attractive to an animal for repeat marking even after cleaning. If urine has reached the backing or the underlay, cleaning the rug may not end the smell.

Urine or odour treatment is from €3/m² on top of the cleaning: for a 2 × 3 m synthetic rug 6 × €6 = €36 and 6 × €3 = €18, from €54 in total. See rug urine stain cleaning in Bolderāja.

If the rug has been soaked by a burst pipe

In any flat a pipe can burst and a rug can get soaked. NC State Extension (US) writes that water is divided into three kinds: clean water, for example from a burst supply pipe, grey water, for example from a washing machine, and black water, for example from sewage. A rug soaked with black water must be thrown away; an underlay soaked with grey or black water likewise.
