Large synthetic rugs and fitted carpet can be cleaned at home, wool and hand-made rugs with pick-up. Add photos of the top and the underside of the rug to the request, and a specialist will tell you the price.
Detached houses with several rugs and buildings from the 1970s and 1980s
After the Second World War Dārzciems saw extensive single-family house development, and detached-house areas take up 18% of the neighbourhood. In a house where there is a rug in the living room, the hallway and the bedrooms, several different fibres can come together at once. Short-pile synthetic rugs can be cleaned on the floor, but wool and cotton rugs are better cleaned with pick-up: hot water together with rubbing felts wool, and the rug may shrink.
Apartment buildings were built in the 1970s and 1980s. If your flat is in such a building and the rug covers almost the whole room, it is not easy to carry it out to the yard. Such a rug can be cleaned at home, and you can read about it on the page cleaning large rugs.
If there are thin day curtains or sheers by the window, write the fabric width and length in the request, because curtains are priced by the m² of fabric, not by the size of the window. For thin curtains and sheers the price is from €2.30/m² of fabric, for heavy ones from €3.70/m².
What to write in the request if you live near Purvciems and Šķirotava
Dārzciems is a neighbourhood in eastern Riga between Purvciems, Pļavnieki and Šķirotava. The main access roads are Dārzciema iela and Lubānas iela, and the Southern Bridge corridor is nearby.
In the request, give the floor, whether there is a lift and where a car can stop near the house. Note the size of the rug in m² and whether it is one large rug or several. If there is a pet in the home or the rug has a smell, write that too, because urine or odour treatment is charged separately. If a sofa, wardrobe or other heavy item stands on the rug, mention it in the request. Also mention which parts of the rug are the most worn or stained, and which room the rug is in.
If there are several rugs, write the approximate size of each, because the price is calculated separately for each. For a detached house, also say how many stair flights need cleaning. If a rug has fringe or no care label, photograph its underside too: from it a specialist can judge the backing and the fibre.
Stairs and hallway in a detached house
In detached-house areas the stairs to the first floor and the hallway may be covered with fitted carpet or a runner. Such a covering cannot be taken to the workshop, so it is cleaned on site. The price is from €4/m² up to 100 m². If the stairs and hallway together come to 12 m², that is 12 × €4 = from €48, and this sum already exceeds the minimum.
In the request, write the number of steps, the length of the hallway and whether the covering is glued down over the whole surface or fixed with gripper strips. We write about such jobs in more detail on the page stair and hallway carpet cleaning.
A cat or dog in a house with several rugs
If there is a cat or a dog in the home and urine has got into the rug, the backing matters. Veterinary sources write that the area of the smell can be up to three times larger than the visible patch. If the urine has reached the backing or the underlay, the smell may come back. The smell can be reduced, but we cannot promise that it will disappear.
Urine or odour treatment is an extra line from €3/m². For a 2 × 3 m synthetic rug at home that is 6 m² × €6 = €36 for cleaning and 6 m² × €3 = €18 for treatment, from €54 in total. In more detail: rug cleaning for urine.
Warehouses and commercial premises next to residential blocks
Dārzciems also has shops, warehouses and car repair shops. If such commercial premises have fitted carpet, for example in an office or reception area, for a business the price depends on the area and the volume; the unit prices are the same “from” prices.
For fitted carpet over 100 m², from €2.50/m² applies to the whole area: 120 m² × €2.50 = from €300. In the request, give the total area, whether furniture or shelving stands on the carpet, and when the premises are free. Read more in the section carpet cleaning for businesses. If the commercial premises also have carpet tiles, they are a separate job: carpet tile cleaning.
Prices in Dārzciems
A short-pile synthetic rug at home costs from €6/m². A 2 × 3 m rug is 6 m², so €36, which is under the minimum. The minimum order is €45: if the total is lower, you pay €45. A wool rug with pick-up costs from €10/m²: 6 m² × €10 = €60, plus pick-up and return €10, from €70 in total.
Travel in Dārzciems is included in the price. Pick-up and return costs €10 (both ways together). From a photo, a specialist tells you what to expect. For long-pile (shaggy) or thick rugs the price is from €10/m², and whether it is cleaned at home or with pick-up depends on the rug’s size and fibre; if it is taken with pick-up, the pick-up charge is added. If a rug has a hair-dye or bleach mark, it often stays.
