Carpet and fitted carpet cleaning in Jaunmīlgrāvis - for apartment buildings and historic low-rise housing

Apartment buildings, low-rise houses and the port next door

Jaunmīlgrāvis is a historically formed part of Mīlgrāvis in the Northern district, with port and residential areas. The development includes apartment buildings, historic low-rise housing, and port and industrial sites. The neighbourhood also has production, warehouses and transport services.

For residential houses this means that one neighbourhood can have both apartment buildings and older low-rise houses. If your flat is in an apartment building, there may be fitted carpet across the whole room or a separate rug that can be cleaned on the floor. An older low-rise house may have a rug that has come down from earlier generations.

In the request, write whether the rug is fitted, lies loose or is a runner, and how many m² it covers. That shows whether the job is done at home or with pick-up. If you are not sure about the fibre, in the “Where to clean?” field choose “Not sure, please advise”: from the photos, a specialist tells you what to expect.

Mīlgrāvja iela, the railway and port access roads

Access to Jaunmīlgrāvis is determined by Mīlgrāvja iela, the railway and the port access roads. In the request give the exact address, the floor, whether the building has a lift, and where a car can stop by the house. If the access road to the house is narrow or restricted, write that in the request.

Add the size of the rug, photos of both sides and a note about a smell, if there is one. Officially, Jaunmīlgrāvis is the western part of the Mīlgrāvis neighbourhood. The nearest neighbourhoods: Vecmīlgrāvis, Mangaļi, Sarkandaugava and Mežaparks.

Fitted carpet in a flat and a low-rise house

Fitted carpet is a covering that cannot be carried out, and so it is cleaned on site. Makers such as Shaw advise periodic professional cleaning once every 12–18 months, depending on use. If a carpet is wetted too much without extraction, it can wrinkle.

Up to 100 m² the price is from €4/m². Cleaning 40 m² of fitted carpet is 40 × €4 = from €160, and travel in Jaunmīlgrāvis is included in the price. In a two-room flat with 28 m² that is 28 × €4 = from €112. In more detail: fitted carpet cleaning.

A wool rug in a historic low-rise house

In an older low-rise house a wool rug may lie in one place for years. The Canadian Conservation Institute advises turning a rug from time to time so that it wears evenly, and notes that heat strips wool of its natural oils. If wool is washed in hot water and rubbed, it can felt and the rug may shrink.

That is why wool rugs are cleaned with pick-up. A 2 × 3 m wool rug is 6 m² × €10 = from €60, plus pick-up and return €10, from €70 in total. In more detail: professional wool rug cleaning.

A rental flat between tenants

If you let out a flat in an apartment building or a low-rise house, it may be worth cleaning the rug between tenants. Fitted carpet and large synthetic rugs are cleaned on site, wool and delicate rugs with pick-up. Write when the flat is free, and what stains or smell there are. Before cleaning, photograph any damage, because after cleaning it can be harder to compare.

If there has been smoking in the flat, smoke residues can persist in textiles for a long time: Bahl and colleagues (2014) found them in cotton and polyester after 19 months. Cleaning can reduce the smell, but we cannot promise that it will disappear. In more detail: rug cleaning in a rental flat.

Curtains in an old low-rise house

If the windows have curtains, they are priced by the m² of fabric, not by the window. For sheer curtains the price is from €2.30/m², for heavy ones from €3.70/m². For example, three heavy curtains, each 1.5 × 2.6 m of fabric, are 11.7 m² × €3.70 = €43.29, so under the minimum, and you pay €45. Natural fibres can change length in moisture, and the colour of curtains can bleed, so read the label before cleaning. In more detail: curtain dry cleaning.

Offices in port and industrial buildings

The Jaunmīlgrāvis neighbourhood has port and industrial sites. If such a building has an office with fitted carpet, for a business the price depends on the area and the volume; the unit prices are the same “from” prices. Over 100 m², from €2.50/m² applies to the whole area: 120 m² × €2.50 = from €300.

In the request, write the area, whether furniture stands on the carpet and when the premises are free. More: carpet cleaning for businesses and office carpet cleaning.

Prices in Jaunmīlgrāvis

A short-pile synthetic rug at home from €6/m²; a 1.6 × 2.3 m rug is 3.68 m² × €6 = €22.08, so under the minimum, and you pay €45. A wool rug with pick-up from €10/m². The minimum order is €45: if the total is lower, you pay €45.

Travel in Jaunmīlgrāvis is included in the price; pick-up and return costs €10 (both ways together). For silk and hand-made rugs, the price is given from a photo, and for a long-pile (shaggy) or thick rug the price is from €10/m². If there is old urine in a rug, the smell can be reduced, but we cannot promise that it will disappear.
