Rug cleaning with pick-up in Ķengarags - for apartment buildings in five housing estates

A multi-storey estate from the 1950s

Ķengarags is a large linear residential neighbourhood on the right bank of the Daugava. Here in the 1950s two-storey standard-design houses began to be built for railway workers, and multi-storey development began after the 1962 detailed plan. The residential estate consists of five housing estates, and residential development areas take up 42.7% of the neighbourhood. The development is mostly multi-storey.

So most of the homes in the neighbourhood are flats in apartment buildings. If your flat is in such a building, the rug may be wool, synthetic or a runner in the hallway. Describe your rug in the request.

Fragments of pre-war development have also survived in the neighbourhood, and in an older house the rug may be inherited. If you do not know the fibre, photograph the rug from both sides and in the “Where to clean?” field tick that you are not sure: from the photos, a specialist tells you how to clean the rug and what to expect.

Maskavas iela, the tram and what to note

Ķengarags is connected to the centre by Maskavas iela, the tram and the railway. The Daugava promenade, the railway and the arterial road affect local routes, and the neighbourhood stretches along the Daugava in a long strip, so in the request give the exact address, the estate or building designation, the floor and whether the building has a lift.

In a long neighbourhood the address is essential, so also note where a car can stop by the building and whether the rug has to be carried out through a narrow stairwell. State the length and width of the rug and a note about a smell or stains, if there are any. If the building has a narrow hallway or a small lift, write that too, and if there are several rugs, give the size of each.

A wool rug that has lain in one room for years

A wool rug can lie in one place for years, and then dirt builds up gradually. The Canadian Conservation Institute advises turning the rug from time to time so that it wears evenly, and stresses that heat strips wool of its natural oils, while light fades the colours.

Hot water together with rubbing felts wool, and the rug may shrink. That is why a wool rug is cleaned with pick-up. A 2 × 3.5 m wool rug is 7 m², and 7 m² × €10 = from €70, plus pick-up and return €10, from €80 in total. In more detail: professional wool rug cleaning.

A large rug that cannot be carried out

If a room has a large synthetic rug that reaches almost to the walls, taking it out through a narrow stairwell or the lift door can be awkward. Such a rug can be cleaned at home, and then the pick-up charge does not have to be paid. Before cleaning, remove chairs, small tables and flower pots from the rug; write about heavy furniture in the request.

For example, a 2.4 × 3.4 m rug is 8.16 m², and 8.16 m² × €6 = from €48.96. In more detail: large rug cleaning.

Sheers and day curtains in a flat’s windows

If a flat’s windows have sheers or thin day curtains, light fades them and dries out the fibres, and yellowing can be caused by sun, smoke or kitchen steam. Not every yellowing can be removed, so we do not promise that the sheer will be white again.

For sheer curtains the price is from €2.30/m² of fabric. For example, four curtains, each 2 × 2.6 m of fabric, are 20.8 m² × €2.30 = from €47.84. In more detail: sheer curtain cleaning.

The stairwell and the property manager

In an apartment building a rug can also be in the stairwell or the entrance area. If so, the request can be submitted by the property manager or a representative of the building. For a stairwell ordered by a property manager the price depends on the area and the volume, and the unit prices are the same “from” prices.

Write how many floors need cleaning, whether the rug is fitted or lies as a runner and when the stairwell is free. More: carpet cleaning for property managers.

A children’s room in a small flat

If a child plays in the room, drinks and food can get into the rug. Blot a fresh stain with a clean cloth and do not rub, because rubbing pushes the stain deeper. Rinse blood with cold water, because hot water sets it.

For example, a 1.5 × 2 m synthetic rug is 3 m², and 3 × €6 = €18, so under the minimum, and you pay €45. In more detail: children’s rug cleaning.

Prices in Ķengarags

A short-pile synthetic rug at home from €6/m², a wool rug with pick-up from €10/m², fitted carpet up to 100 m² from €4/m². If the cleaning total comes to under €45, you pay €45 (the minimum order).

Travel in Ķengarags is included in the price, even if the building is further from Maskavas iela. Pick-up and return is charged at €10 for both ways together. A long-pile (shaggy) or thick rug costs from €10/m², while for silk and hand-made rugs the price is set from a photo. Old urine in a wool rug can leave a smell, which can be reduced, but we cannot promise that it will disappear.
