What to know about cleaning a fitted carpet
A fitted carpet is fixed to the floor, and there may be an underlay beneath it. Moisture that soaks into the backing stays in the room until the carpet dries. Carpet makers, such as Shaw, warn that too much moisture without water extraction can cause wrinkles and, in extreme cases, separate the layers of the carpet.
Shaw advises having a fitted carpet professionally cleaned periodically with the hot water extraction method, usually every 12–18 months depending on how much it is walked on. If your carpet has care instructions from the maker, add them to the request.

How much fitted carpet cleaning costs
- Fitted carpet (soft floor covering) up to 100 m²: from €4/m².
- Fitted carpet over 100 m² (offices, hotels): from €2.50/m². If the area is larger than 100 m², this price applies to the whole area.
- Urine or odour treatment, extra: from €3/m².
The price depends on the area in m², the fibre, the pile length and thickness, the dirt and stains, smell or urine, access and distance. 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. For businesses the price depends on the area and the volume; the unit prices are the same “from” prices.
| Example | Calculation | Total |
|---|---|---|
| Bedroom 8 m² | 8 m² × €4 = €32, below the minimum | you pay €45 |
| Flat 40 m², in Riga | 40 m² × €4 = €160, travel included | from €160 |
| Office 120 m² | 120 m² × €2.50 = €300 | from €300 |

Fitted carpet in a flat and an office
In a flat, a fitted carpet is usually dirtiest by the door, in the hallway and on the way between rooms. In an office these are the paths between desks, the entrance and the area under chairs. That is why photos are useful not only of the whole room but also close-ups of the darkest places.
For offices and other rooms, say in the request when the rooms are free. We work across Riga and the Riga region, for example in Centrs, Vecrīga and Mārupe.
Fitted carpet deep cleaning and washing
People call it different things: dry cleaning, washing, deep cleaning. What matters is the fibre of the carpet and its dyes, not the name of the product. A fitted carpet may be synthetic or wool. If the carpet is wool, write that in the request: hot water and rubbing can make wool felt and shrink.
Before using any product, test colourfastness on a hidden spot. Chlorine bleach and strong products can change the colour, and solvents can damage the backing, so do not use them on the carpet before cleaning.
What to prepare and write in the request
- Area The area of the rooms in m², or length × width for each room.
- Photos The whole room, the darkest places and close-ups of stains. If you have them, photos of the carpet edge or an offcut from the underside.
- Stains, smell, pets What it is, how old, whether you have already tried to clean it and with what.
- Furniture Remove chairs, small tables and flower pots. Mention heavy furniture in the request.
- Access Floor, lift, where a car can stop, and when the rooms are free.
Moisture, backing and underlay
How long a carpet takes to dry depends on the fibre, the pile thickness, the backing, the room temperature, the air humidity and ventilation. A fan and a dehumidifier speed up drying, and in humid air water evaporates more slowly. After cleaning, ventilate the room as far as the weather allows.
If urine has gone through the carpet to the underlay or the floor, cleaning the top of the carpet may not end the smell, and the underlay may have to be replaced. A smell can be reduced, but we cannot promise it will disappear. More on stains on the page carpet stain removal.
What usually comes out and what may stay
Usually comes out
- dust and sand in the pile;
- grey paths where people walk most;
- fresh drink and food stains, if they have not been rubbed.
May stay
- wear and flattened pile in the paths;
- paint, hair dye and bleach marks;
- smell, if urine has reached the underlay;
- wrinkles that have already formed.
Before the job, a specialist tells you what to expect.
