A house can have several rugs and runners, while business premises usually have fitted carpet. Large synthetic rugs and fitted carpets are cleaned on site, wool rugs with pick-up and return.
Warehouses, manufacturing and detached houses in one neighbourhood
Rumbula is a south-eastern peripheral neighbourhood where warehouses, production sites and private houses stand side by side. The buildings include warehouses, retail, manufacturing, detached houses and large sparsely built areas.
This means that one neighbourhood can call for two completely different jobs. In a private house they are rugs in everyday family use; in business premises it is a soft floor covering fitted over an area. In the first case the question is about the fibre and the option, in the second about m² and access.
For homes: carpet cleaning in a private house. For businesses: carpet cleaning for businesses. If you do not know which option suits, choose “Not sure, please advise” in the request.
Maskavas iela, the railway and the A6 direction
Maskavas iela, the railway and the A6 direction provide regional access. The closeness of the Daugava, large open areas and heavy traffic affect how to get there, so in the request write how to reach the house or the entrance of the business. Travel to Rumbula is included in the price.
State also:
- whether it is a detached house, a farmstead or a business premises;
- the length and width of each rug in metres, or the area of the fitted carpet in m²;
- where a car can stop and how far that is from the entrance;
- for a business, the time when the premises are free;
- stains, smell and heavy furniture on the rug;
- photos of the top and of the underside.
Before cleaning at home, take chairs, small tables and plant pots off the rug.
An office or reception room among warehouses
If a business has an office or a visitor room with a fitted carpet in a warehouse or manufacturing complex, the area is the most important price factor. In its care guide the carpet maker Shaw advises professional hot water extraction for a fitted carpet, especially with heavy foot traffic, about once every 12–18 months.
The price up to 100 m² is from €4/m²: 60 m² is 60 × €4 = from €240. Over 100 m², the price from €2.50/m² applies to the whole area: 150 m² × €2.50 = from €375. More: office carpet cleaning and fitted carpet cleaning.
A farmstead or summer house among allotment gardens
The apkaimes.lv portal writes that among the allotment gardens there are a few farmsteads and private houses built in the 20th and 21st centuries. If it is a summer house that is not heated in winter, the rug should be stored in a dry place. The Canadian Conservation Institute advises not folding the rug but rolling it in the direction of the pile on a wide tube, and not using cellars and attics for storage.
A wool rug should be cleaned before storage, because moth larvae feed on wool. If the larvae are already alive, that is a pest-control job. More: how to store a rug.
A detached house: stair runner, hallway, several rugs
In a detached house the rugs vary: a runner on the stairs, a rug in the hallway, a large rug in the living room. The price of runners is calculated by m², and a small runner on its own does not reach the minimum, so write all the rugs in one request. Example: a 3 × 4 m synthetic rug is 12 m² × €6 = from €72.
More: stair and hallway carpet cleaning and curtain cleaning.
A large rug in the living room of a private house
In a private house a living room rug can be so large that carrying it out to the yard or the workshop is too hard. A short-pile synthetic rug is then cleaned on site from €6/m², a long-pile (shaggy) or thick rug from €10/m². For wool or silk rugs pick-up is more suitable, because delicate fibres need controlled wet cleaning and full drying.
How long a rug takes to dry depends on the fibre, the thickness of the pile, the backing, the room temperature, the air humidity and the ventilation, so air the room after cleaning. More: large rug cleaning and long-pile rug cleaning.
Curtains in office and house windows
If the windows of an office or a house have sheers or thin day curtains, light fades them, and yellowing can have several causes: sun, smoke or kitchen steam. Not every yellowing can be removed, so we do not promise whitening. The label says whether the curtain may be washed.
For thin and day curtains the price is from €2.30/m² of fabric, for heavy ones from €3.70/m². Example: four sheer curtains, each 1.3 × 2.4 m, are 4 × 3.12 m² = 12.48 m², and 12.48 × €2.30 = €28.70, so you pay €45. More: sheer curtain cleaning and curtain cleaning.
Prices in Rumbula
| Job | Price |
|---|---|
| Fitted carpet up to 100 m² | from €4/m² |
| Fitted carpet over 100 m² | from €2.50/m² for the whole area |
| Short-pile synthetic rug, at home | from €6/m² |
| Wool rug with pick-up | from €10/m² |
If the calculation gives less than €45, you pay €45, because that is the minimum order for cleaning. Travel to Rumbula is included in the price, but with pick-up €10 is added for pick-up and return both ways together. For businesses the price depends on the area and the volume. The smell of old urine in wool may stay even after cleaning. The price depends on the size, the fibre, the dirt and stains, the smell, the access and the distance.
