Office carpet cleaning in Riga

Where an office carpet gets dirtiest

In an office the dirt is not spread evenly. The darkest areas are the walkway from the entrance to the desks, by the kitchen and the coffee machine, by the printer and under the desks, where chair casters run over the same spot every day. It is worth photographing these places up close for the request.

Chair caster paths are two things at once: dirt worked into the pile, and wear. Cleaning usually reduces the dirt, but it does not restore worn or flattened pile.

Cleaning office soft floor covering and what the maker advises

Makers such as Shaw advise cleaning fitted carpet professionally at regular intervals, usually every 12–18 months, depending on how many people walk on it. In an office with many visitors that means more often than in a room where two people work.

The same maker warns that cleaning that is too wet, without removing the moisture, can cause wrinkles and, in extreme cases, delamination of the backing. If the office has flooring documents or the maker’s care instructions, keep them and attach them to the request. How long a carpet takes to dry depends on the fibre, the pile thickness, the room humidity and the ventilation.

Carpet cleaning in a meeting or conference room

In a meeting or conference room the carpet is walked on less than in a corridor, but there are many chairs and large tables. Before cleaning, take chairs, small tables and plant pots off the carpet if they can be moved to another room. Mention heavy tables, cabinets and other heavy furniture in the request.

A reception area may have a separate decorative rug. If it is wool or hand-made, it is cleaned in a workshop with pick-up, not on site. For a wool or hand-made rug, colourfastness must be tested on a hidden spot before it is wetted, because the dyes can bleed.

Coffee and tea on an office carpet

First aid is simple: blot the liquid with a clean cloth, do not rub, and do not pour hot water on it. For coffee, the University of Georgia textile care guidance recommends detergent suds that are blotted up, not rubbed in, and looking at the label first, if there is one. Chlorine bleach and strong products can change the colour of the carpet.

If someone has already tried to clean the stain, write what with. It helps the specialist say what to expect.

What to write in the request for an office

• The area in m² by room, or the office plan.
• Photos: the walkway, the area by the kitchen, the chair caster spots and the stains up close.
• The time when the rooms are free.
• The floor, the lift and where a car can stop.
• Whether there are also separate rugs or carpet tiles.

Office carpet cleaning price

For businesses the price depends on the area and the volume; the unit prices are the same “from” prices. Fitted carpet up to 100 m² costs from €4/m²; if the area is over 100 m², from €2.50/m² applies to the whole area.

• A 60 m² office: 60 × €4 = from €240.
• A 150 m² office: 150 × €2.50 = from €375.
• A small 9 m² office room: 9 × €4 = €36, so you pay €45.

The minimum order is €45: if the total is lower, you pay €45. Travel is included in Riga and up to about 15 km outside the Riga boundary; further out it is from €10. The price depends on the size in m², the fibre, the pile length and thickness, the dirt and stains, smell or urine, access and distance. All prices: carpet and rug cleaning prices.

What to expect after office carpet cleaning

A fresh stain usually responds better than an old one. Other business premises: carpet tile cleaning in an office, carpet cleaning for property managers, clinic carpet cleaning. All business jobs: carpet cleaning for businesses and institutions.
