Fitted carpet in offices is cleaned on site, while wool, viscose and other delicate rugs are cleaned in the workshop with pick-up. Travel to Zaķusala is included in the price, and pick-up and return costs €10 both ways together. Send the area or sizes and photos, and a specialist gives the price.
An office island with limited residential development
Zaķusala is a long island in the Daugava with television, office, transport and development areas, and officially it is part of the Salas neighbourhood. Almost all the houses on the island were demolished by the 1980s, and the residents were given flats in the new housing estates. Today it has media, offices, infrastructure, events and real estate development.
Many premises here are offices, with meeting rooms, hallways and open-plan areas. Fitted carpet that cannot be lifted is cleaned right on the floor. Smaller loose rugs, for example in managers' offices or lounge corners, can be wool or viscose, and they are better cleaned with pick-up. Travel to Zaķusala is included in the price.
Salu tilts, access and the request
Access to Zaķusala is by Salu tilts, and traffic gathers at a few junctions. So in the request say how to reach the particular building, which floor the room is on, whether there is a lift, and where a car can stop.
For an office, state the area in m², the number and type of rooms (meeting room, hallway, office) and when the rooms are free. Attach photos: an overall view and the places with stains or wear. If some of the rugs are loose, give their sizes and photos of both sides, so that it can be decided which go with pick-up.
Office fitted carpet: how often and how much
The carpet maker Shaw advises cleaning with hot water extraction about once every 12–18 months, but in an office with heavier foot traffic the interval can be shorter. A maker’s conditions may require a document about such cleaning to be kept, and too much moisture without extraction can cause wrinkles.
Up to 100 m², fitted carpet cleaning costs from €4/m². If the area is above 100 m², from €2.50/m² applies to the whole area: 120 m² × €2.50 = from €300. See also office carpet cleaning. For businesses the price depends on the area and the volume, and the unit prices are the same “from” prices.
Carpet tiles in an office
In some offices the floor is covered with carpet tiles, which are laid in modules. If spare tiles have been kept, mention that in the request. Attach photos and, if you have it, the maker’s information.
Carpet tile cleaning is calculated by area and volume. In the request, give the area and the type of tile if you know it, and add a close-up photo and an overall view.
After renovation or reconstruction
Real estate development is going on in Zaķusala. If a room is handed over after reconstruction or renovation and the fitted carpet has construction dust, paint or glue stains, the result of cleaning depends on the type of stain and how long it has been on the carpet. A fresh stain usually comes out better than an old one, but paint and bleach marks often stay.
Carpet cleaning after renovation starts with a photo and a short description of what has got on the carpet. In the request, also say whether work is still being done in the room.
A viscose or bamboo silk rug in a modern room
An office or flat interior can have a rug sold as “bamboo silk”: it is usually viscose. Wet viscose becomes much weaker and can change shape, it can turn brown or yellow, and the pile can be crushed by water and pressure. Flattened pile may stay.
So viscose rug cleaning is done with pick-up, at a price from €15/m², and the final price is given from a photo. Example: a 2 × 3 m rug is 6 m² × €15 = from €90, plus pick-up and return €10.
Event and meeting rooms
Events also take place in Zaķusala. In a room where meetings or events are held, the walkways of the fitted carpet and the places in front of the doors take the heaviest load, and the stains are most visible there. If a stain is fresh, first blot it with clean absorbent material and do not rub, because rubbing presses it deeper.
In the request, say when the room is free between events, how large the area is and where the biggest stains are. Read more about business services on the carpet cleaning for businesses page. For businesses the price depends on the area and the volume.
Curtains in office windows
If the office windows have curtains, they are counted by fabric area in m², not by window size. Curtain cleaning for businesses starts from €2.30/m² for sheers and day curtains and from €3.70/m² for heavy, night and double curtains. Example: six heavy curtains, each 1.5 × 2.6 m of fabric, are 23.4 m² × €3.70 = from €86.58.
For blackout curtains, makers such as Wolf-Gordon warn that heat and aggressive washing can make the coating crack or flake. If both rugs and curtains need cleaning, put them in one request. The price of curtain take-down and rehanging depends on the situation.
Prices in Zaķusala
