A house can have several rugs, and stairs and a hallway with fitted carpet. Large synthetic rugs and fitted carpet are cleaned at home; wool and hand-made rugs are cleaned with pick-up. Add photos to the request.
Low-rise development between Bukaišu iela and the Daugava
Katlakalns is a southern Riga neighbourhood by the Daugava and the Ķekava boundary. The area between Bukaišu iela and the Daugava is taken up by low-rise private houses with allotment gardens. The development includes detached houses, low-rise residential houses, gardens and separate commercial sites, and the neighbourhood also has suburban services and some small-scale commercial activity.
If a private house has rugs in several rooms, they can be of different kinds: in the living room, the bedrooms, the hallway and on the stairs. If your house has larger rooms, the rug may be large, and it can be cleaned on site if it is synthetic with a short pile. Wool, cotton and hand-made rugs are cleaned with pick-up.
Because the rugs differ from house to house, in the request write the size of each rug and, if you know it, the fibre. Add photos of the top and the underside, and then a specialist tells you which option to choose.
Bauskas iela, the Southern Bridge and what to note in the request
Access to Katlakalns is provided by Bauskas iela and Ziepniekkalna iela, and the Southern Bridge is close by. In the request give the address of the house, whether the building has one floor or several, whether there are stairs and where a car can stop by the gate. If the house is reached through a yard or a gravel road, mention that too.
If the yard of the house is closed or the gate is narrow, write that. Also write if furniture stands on the rug. Neighbouring areas with their own pages: Bišumuiža, Ziepniekkalns, Krasta rajons and Rumbula.
Stairs and hallway in a private house
In a private house with stairs to the first floor, the steps and the hallway may be covered with fitted carpet or a runner. Fitted carpet cannot be taken away, so it is cleaned on site; travel in Katlakalns is included in the price. For fitted carpet up to 100 m² the price is from €4/m²: for 20 m² it is 20 × €4 = from €80.
In the request, state the number of steps, the length of the hallway and whether the carpet is glued down over the whole surface. If there are children or pets in the house, write that too, because the nature of the dirt differs. In more detail: stair and hallway carpet cleaning.
Snow in the yard and a winter rug
Some people clean rugs with dry snow in winter, and with a yard it is easy to do. However, for a wool rug moisture can make the dye bleed, and wet wool that is rubbed can felt. The rug must be dried before rolling up, otherwise moisture stays inside the roll.
Street snow can carry sand and salt, and wet snow soaks in deeper than dry. If the rug is valuable or old, send it for cleaning with pick-up. In more detail: cleaning a rug with snow.
A rug stored over summer
If the house has a rug that is to be stored for the warmer season, storage should start from a clean, dry rug. The Canadian Conservation Institute advises not to fold a rug but to roll it in the direction of the pile onto a wide tube, cover it with unbleached cotton cloth and keep it above floor level, not in a cellar or attic. Moth larvae feed on wool and avoid light, so it is better to clean a wool rug before storage.
If the rug already has live moth larvae, that is a pest control job. More: how to store a rug.
A large rug in a large room
In Katlakalns houses the rooms can be larger than in apartment buildings, and the rug covers a large part of the floor. If the rug is synthetic with a short pile, it can be cleaned at home, and it does not need to be carried out. Before cleaning, remove chairs, small tables and plant pots; write about heavy furniture in the request.
For example, a 2.5 × 3 m rug is 7.5 m², and 7.5 m² × €6 = from €45, exactly the minimum. If the rug is a thick long-pile (shaggy) rug, the price is from €10/m², and 7.5 m² × €10 = from €75. In more detail: large rug cleaning.
A cat or dog in a house with a garden
If a cat or a dog lives in the house, urine and hair can get into the rug. 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, the smell may come back, and we cannot promise that it will disappear.
Urine or odour treatment is an extra item, from €3/m². For a 3 × 4 m synthetic rug at home that is 12 m² × €6 = €72 for cleaning and 12 m² × €3 = €36 for treatment, from €108 in total. In more detail: rug cleaning for urine and rug cleaning for pet hair.
