Rug cleaning with pick-up in Vangaži - for apartment buildings and detached houses by the A2

Workers' village houses and a large rug in a panel-block flat

Vangaži grew as a village for workers of a reinforced-concrete plant, next to a quarry opened in 1955. The town has apartment-building housing, detached houses and wooded surroundings. In an apartment building the rooms can be small, and a large rug, for example 2 × 3 m, takes up a large part of the floor.

Such a synthetic rug with a short pile can be cleaned at home from €6/m², and it does not have to be carried down the stairwell. Before that, take chairs, small tables and flower pots off the rug, and write in your request about a heavy wardrobe or sofa standing on it. For a round rug the price is calculated by the rectangle around it: a rug 2 m across is 4 m². If the rug has a long pile, write that, because then whether it is cleaned at home or with pick-up depends on the rug.

A wool rug that has not been cleaned for years

A wool rug is sensitive to water and heat: hot water together with rubbing can felt wool, and the rug can shrink; usually this cannot be reversed. So a wool rug is cleaned in the workshop, from €10/m², not on the floor of a room.

Conservators advise turning wool rugs from time to time and protecting them from direct sun, because light fades the colours, while heat strips wool of its natural oils. Before a wool rug is wetted, its colourfastness should be tested on a hidden spot. More: wool rug cleaning.

A long-pile (shaggy) rug in a flat

A long-pile (shaggy) rug is soft and thick, but for that very reason its pile and backing hold water for longer. How long it takes to dry depends on the fibre, the pile thickness, the backing, the room temperature, the air humidity and ventilation. For a long-pile (shaggy) rug the price is from €10/m², and whether it is cleaned at home or with pick-up depends on the rug’s size and fibre.

If a long-pile (shaggy) rug has to go to the workshop, pick-up and return in Vangaži costs €10 and another €10. More: long-pile rug cleaning.

Stairwell and vestibule: an order from the property manager

In an apartment building a rug or fitted carpet may also be in the vestibule. Such an order can usually be placed by the property manager. For businesses the price depends on the area and the volume, and the unit prices are the same “from” prices: fitted carpet up to 100 m² from €4/m², over 100 m² from €2.50/m² for the whole area.

In your request, write how many floors the building has, in which rooms there is fitted carpet and when the rooms are free. More: carpet cleaning for property managers.

A children’s room: a rug to play on

If a drink has been spilled or food has fallen on a rug in a children’s room, blot a fresh stain with a clean cloth and do not rub. Rinse blood and protein stains with cold water, because hot water sets them. For a coffee and tea stain detergent foam can help, but test it on a hidden spot first.

Cleaning reduces dust and allergens in a rug, but it is not a treatment for allergy, and dust mites come back while the air humidity is high. More: children’s rug cleaning and rug cleaning for allergy sufferers.

The A2, the railway and access to Vangaži

The A2 and the railway line lead towards Riga and Sigulda. Local access can depend on the A2 and the railway level crossings.

In the address, name the town of Vangaži, not only the municipality. Also state the floor, whether there is a lift, and the place where a car can stop by the house. If there is forest around the house or the access road is narrow, mention that.

• the size of the rug in m², without the fringe;
• photos of the top, the underside and close-ups of the stains;
• fitted or loose;
• whether there are animals in the house and whether the rug has a smell.

Sheers and curtains in a wooded area

If the windows face the forest, sheers and day curtains may look clean, but light fades fibres all the same, and sheers can yellow over time. Yellowing can be caused by sun, smoke or kitchen steam, so we cannot promise that every yellowing can be removed. For light and day curtains the price is from €2.30/m² of fabric.

For heavy, night and double curtains the price is from €3.70/m². For example, two heavy curtains, each 1.5 × 2.6 m of fabric, are 7.8 m² × €3.70 = €28.86, so you pay €45 (the minimum order). More: sheer curtain cleaning.

Prices in Vangaži

If the cleaning total is lower than €45, you pay €45 (the minimum order, for cleaning only). Added to it are travel, which in Vangaži is from €10 because Vangaži is further than about 15 km from the Riga boundary, and pick-up and return: €10 and another €10 beyond this distance.

Example: a 2 × 3 m wool rug is 6 m² × €10 = from €60, plus €20 for pick-up and return, from €80 in total. A 1.6 × 2.3 m synthetic rug is 3.68 m² × €6 = €22.08, so you pay €45 for cleaning, and travel from €10 is added. Old urine in wool may stay.
