Fitted carpet and large synthetic rugs are cleaned on site, while wool and delicate rugs are picked up and cleaned in the workshop. We give the price from a photo of both sides of the rug.
What kinds of rugs are in Klīversala flats and offices
The neighbourhood portal (apkaimes.lv) writes that Klīversala, officially part of Āgenskalns, has perimeter-block buildings typical of central Riga. Historic brick and wooden buildings, offices, apartment developments and waterfront development areas stand side by side. So one address can mean a very different job from the building next door. Whether the rug is cleaned on site or with pick-up depends on the fibre.
If your flat is in an older brick or wooden building, you may have a wool or hand-made rug that has been looked after for years. Such rugs are better cleaned with pick-up in the workshop, because delicate fibres need controlled wet cleaning and full drying, which a living room floor does not provide. Hot water together with rubbing can make wool felt, and the rug can shrink; this usually cannot be reversed. Colourfastness should be tested on a hidden spot before the rug is wetted, because the dyes can bleed. If the rug has no care label, a photo of the underside helps the specialist work out the fibre.
If a flat in a new apartment development has a fitted carpet or a large synthetic rug by the sofa, it is cleaned at home, because a fitted carpet cannot be lifted and carried to the workshop. Before cleaning, take chairs, small tables and plant pots off it, and write in the request about heavy furniture that stays on the rug. Starting price: fitted carpet cleaning: up to 100 m² from €4/m².
What to put in the request for waterfront and perimeter-block buildings
Raņķa dambis, the Akmens tilts bridge and nearby Uzvaras bulvāris give direct access to the centre. Travel to Klīversala is included in the price.
In the request, write:
- which floor the flat or office is on and whether there is a lift;
- whether a car can stop by the entrance, and whether the entrance is through a courtyard or gates;
- the size of the rug in m², or the room area if it is a fitted carpet;
- whether the rug has a care label and how old it is, if known;
- photos of the top and of the underside.
For an office, add the time when the rooms are free. For a flat owner, a short description and photos are enough: the rug size, the fibre if known, and the places with stains or smell. If you do not know whether the rug is wool or synthetic, you do not need to say so, just send photos of both sides.
Hotel and office corridors: pricing for businesses
Klīversala has the hotel “Daugava”, offices and cultural venues, and real estate development is under way. If the hotel or office corridors have a fitted carpet, the most important thing is the total area. Shaw Floors recommends professional hot water extraction for a fitted carpet every 12–18 months, depending on use. This is a maker’s advice, not a requirement for every site.
For businesses the price depends on the area and the volume; the unit prices are the same “from” prices. If the area is over 100 m², from €2.50/m² for the whole area: 120 m² × €2.50 = from €300. More: carpet cleaning for businesses, hotel carpet cleaning and office carpet cleaning.
New flat or renovation: fitted carpet before moving in
If you want a clean fitted carpet before moving in or after renovation, write that in the request together with the area. If the fitted carpet is very wet from earlier work or has water marks, say so. Too much moisture without extraction can cause wrinkles and delamination, so the condition of the carpet should be stated before the job, not after it. Before the job, a specialist tells you what to expect.
More: carpet cleaning after renovation. If the same flat also has curtains, write them in the same request: curtain cleaning.
Klīversala lies on the bank of the Daugava. If a waterfront flat has had water getting in, write that in the request: a wet fitted carpet and curtains must be checked before they are cleaned.
