Private houses from the 1920s–30s have survived, and there are apartment buildings from the 1970s. Large rugs can be cleaned at home, wool and hand-made rugs with pick-up. Add photos of both sides of the rug to the request.
Two different housing eras in one neighbourhood
Jaunciems is a north-eastern neighbourhood by Lake Ķīšezers with a mix of industrial and low-rise residential development. Private houses built in the 1920s–30s and apartment buildings put up in the 1970s have survived. So the rugs there can be very different: from older wool rugs to modern synthetic ones.
In an older private house built in the 1920s–30s, the rooms may be larger and the floor may be planks or parquet, with a wool or hand-made rug lying on it. Such a rug is better cleaned with pick-up, because wool and hand-made rugs need controlled cleaning. If a 1970s flat has a large synthetic rug or fitted carpet, it is cleaned at home.
If you do not know what fibre your rug is, choose “Not sure” in the request and add photos of the top and the underside. Send a photo of the label too, if there is one. From the photos, a specialist tells you how to clean the rug and what it will cost.
Jaunciema gatve and what to note in the request
The main road through Jaunciems is Jaunciema gatve. So in the request give the exact address, whether the building is a private house or an apartment building, the floor, and where a car can stop by the house.
Industrial and warehouse areas are next to the residential blocks. If the premises have fitted carpet, state the total area in m², because the price depends on it. State which floor the premises are on. The nearest neighbourhoods: Aplokciems, Trīsciems, Suži and Vecmīlgrāvis.
Stairs and hallway in a private house
In a private house with stairs to the first floor or the attic, the carpet may be fitted on the steps and in the hallway. It cannot be taken out and carried to the workshop, so fitted carpet is cleaned on site, and travel in Jaunciems is included in the price. The price is from €4/m²: for 25 m² of stair and hallway carpet it is 25 × €4 = from €100.
In the request, state the number of steps and whether the carpet is glued or nailed, and also whether the stairs have an underlay. If the stair carpet is old, photograph the wear and the edges so that it can be described in the request. If the house has several different rugs, write them all in one request. In more detail: stair and hallway carpet cleaning.
A wool rug in an old house
A wool rug in an old house may lie in one place for many years. The Canadian Conservation Institute advises turning it from time to time so that it wears evenly, and not dragging furniture across the rug. Heat strips wool of its natural oils, while high humidity can make the dyes bleed.
Hot water together with rubbing can felt wool, and the rug may shrink; this usually cannot be reversed. That is why wool rugs need controlled cleaning. A 2.5 × 3.5 m wool rug is 8.75 m², and 8.75 m² × €10 = €87.50, plus pick-up and return €10, from €97.50 in total. In more detail: professional wool rug cleaning.
A large rug in a 1970s flat
If the flat is in a 1970s building, the rooms may be small and the rug may cover almost the whole floor. If the rug is synthetic with a short pile, it can be cleaned at home. Before cleaning, remove chairs and flower pots from the rug, and write about heavy furniture in the request.
A 2 × 2.9 m rug is 5.8 m², and 5.8 × €6 = €34.80, so under the minimum, and you pay €45. In more detail: large rug cleaning.
A cat or dog in a private house
In a private house with a garden a pet can bring in dirt and hair, and there may be urine accidents too. If there is a cat or a dog at home, what matters is how deep the urine has soaked. Veterinary sources write that the area of the smell can be up to three times larger than the visible patch, and that heavily contaminated material can stay attractive to the animal for repeat marking.
If the urine has reached the backing or the underlay of the rug, cleaning may not get rid of the smell, and the underlay may have to be replaced. Urine or odour treatment is an extra line from €3/m². In more detail: rug cleaning for urine.
Production and warehouse premises next to houses
Jaunciems has residential houses, production and warehouse areas, and local services. If a production or warehouse building has an office with fitted carpet, for a business the price depends on the area and the volume; over 100 m², the price from €2.50/m² applies to the whole area. Write when the premises are free. More: carpet cleaning for businesses and office carpet cleaning.
Prices in Jaunciems
A synthetic rug at home from €6/m², fitted carpet up to 100 m² from €4/m², a wool rug with pick-up from €10/m². The minimum order is €45: if the total is lower, you pay €45.
In Jaunciems travel is included in the price, and pick-up and return costs €10 both ways together. For silk, hand-made and antique rugs, the price is given from a photo. A long-pile (shaggy) or thick rug costs from €10/m². If a rug has animal urine, the smell can be reduced, but we cannot promise that it will disappear.
