Fitted carpet and large synthetic rugs are cleaned at home, viscose, wool and hand-made rugs with pick-up. Add photos of the top and the underside to the request.
New projects next to traces of 1990s construction
The history of Dreiliņi is unusual: construction of 602 series buildings began around 1990, but in 1993 building stopped, leaving an unfinished complex of nine-storey buildings and undeveloped fields. Today the neighbourhood has new apartment projects, detached houses, hypermarkets and warehouses, and there are still undeveloped areas too.
In practice this means that one neighbourhood can have brand-new flats next to buildings from older projects, and the homes can contain very different rugs. If you have just moved into a new flat, the rug may have been bought after the renovation, when the room was already ready. Such a rug may be made of a different material from the wool rug you brought from your previous home, so the cleaning method is determined by the fibre, not by the age of the building.
A detached house also has stairs and a hallway, where fitted carpet or a runner sits next to everyday dirt. The request form is the same for a flat and a detached house: write which rugs are large and cannot be carried out, and which are small, wool, knotted or with fringe. The former are usually cleaned at home, wool and knotted ones with pick-up.
What to write in a request from Dreiliņi
Dreiliņi can be reached along Lubānas iela, Biķernieku iela and the roads at the city boundary. In the request, write the building address, the floor, whether there is a lift and where a car can stop by the entrance, because in a new block the entrance and the access road can differ from an older building.
Add the size of the rug in m², the fibre if you know it, and photos of both sides. If the rug has fringe or a label, photograph those too. If the rug was bought recently, write what material is stated on the label or the packaging: it helps to understand whether the rug should be cleaned at home or with pick-up. If not all the renovation work in the flat is finished yet, mention that too.
A rug after renovation in a new flat
If renovation is still being finished in the new flat or house, the rug may pick up dust, paint drops or glue stains. A fresh stain usually comes out better than an old one, so cleaning should not be delayed if a mark is visible. If the carpet is fitted, it is cleaned on site, and the price is from €4/m²: 40 m² × €4 = from €160.
Before cleaning, photograph any damage, such as tears or burns, and write which stains are visible. If the backing or the underlay of the rug got wet during the renovation, mention that too. We write about renovation dirt in more detail on the page rug cleaning after renovation.
A viscose rug in a new flat
A rug sold as “bamboo silk” is usually viscose, and in a new flat one may have been chosen for its softness and look. Wet viscose becomes much weaker and can change shape, and the pile may turn brown or yellow if it is wetted. A flattened viscose pile may stay. That is why viscose rugs are cleaned with pick-up, and the price is given from a photo.
For silk, viscose, hide, hand-made and Persian rugs the price is from €15/m²; for a 2 × 3 m rug that is from €90 plus pick-up and return €10. The final price is from a photo. Viscose pile must not be rubbed or steamed, because water and pressure can flatten it permanently. More: viscose rug cleaning.
Curtains in a new flat
If the windows of the new flat have blackout curtains, they must be cleaned differently from ordinary sheers. Makers warn that heat and hot or harsh washing can crack or peel the blackout coating, so the curtain label must be read first. If the curtains have a lining, write the fibre of both the outer fabric and the lining, because they may differ.
Heavy, night and double curtains are priced from €3.70/m² of fabric. Two curtains, each 1.5 × 2.6 m of fabric, are 7.8 m² × €3.70 = €28.86, and you pay €45, because that is under the minimum. The price of take-down and rehanging is given according to the situation: it depends on the length of the curtain rail, the height and the type of fixing. In more detail: blackout curtain cleaning.
Fitted carpet in a house or commercial premises
In Dreiliņi there are hypermarkets and warehouses next to the residential blocks. If a business has fitted carpet, for example in an office, the price depends on the area. Up to 100 m² it is from €4/m², over 100 m² from €2.50/m² for the whole area: 120 m² × €2.50 = from €300. For businesses, read carpet cleaning for businesses.
Prices in Dreiliņi
A synthetic rug at home from €6/m², a wool rug with pick-up from €10/m². A 2 × 3 m wool rug: 6 × €10 = €60 plus pick-up and return €10, from €70 in total. The minimum order is €45: if the total is lower, you pay €45.
Travel in Dreiliņi is included in the price. Pick-up and return costs €10 (both ways together). If a rug has a bleach or hair-dye mark, it often stays.
