Carpet and curtain cleaning in Baloži - for flats and detached houses

Workers' village houses, new neighbourhoods and garden societies

Baloži grew around the workers' village of the peat factory founded in 1947, and one part of the town was built anew in the 1980s as a workers' village. Alongside them are detached houses and new detached-house neighbourhoods.

Titurga and other housing estates also belong to Baloži. In your request, write the full address so that it is clear whether it is in the town of Baloži.

For a flat’s rug, the size and the fibre matter most. If the rug is synthetic, it usually stays at home. If it is wool, cotton, silk or hand-made, it goes to the workshop, because delicate fibres need controlled wet cleaning and full drying, which the floor of a living room does not provide.

A large rug in a small room: cleaning on site

If a rug is 2 × 3 m or larger and takes up most of the room, carrying it down the stairwell can be awkward. Such a synthetic rug is cleaned at home, and the price is from €6/m². Before that, take flower pots, chairs and small tables off the rug, and write in your request about a heavy wardrobe or sofa standing on it.

For a long-pile (shaggy) or thick rug the price is from €10/m². More: large rug cleaning.

Where to park: apartment-building yards and wooded streets

Wooded streets, apartment-building yards and new detached-house neighbourhoods differ in where a car can be parked, and access towards Riga mostly runs through the road network of Ziepniekkalns and the Ķekava direction. So in one town one address may be easy to reach, while another needs more information.

So in your request, write whether a car can stop by the house, which floor the flat is on and whether there is a lift. If the rug has to go to the workshop, also say whether the rug is already rolled up. Photos of the top, the underside and a close-up of the stain are what the specialist wants to see first.

Stairwell and shared carpets: an order from the property manager

In apartment buildings a rug or fitted carpet may be not only in a flat but also in the entrance hall, the stairwell or a shared room. Such an order can be placed by the property manager or the house representative. 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.

In your request, write how many floors the building has, in which rooms there is carpet, what the total area is and when the rooms are free. Photos of each room show whether the carpet is fitted or there are separate rugs. More: carpet cleaning for property managers.

Garden society cabins: a rug that stands for a season

In 1991 the nearby garden societies were included in the town, so an address in Baloži can also mean a garden cabin or a summer house. If the house stands unheated in winter, it is better to dry the rug before autumn and store it in a dry place. Conservators advise not using cellars and attics, and not folding the rug but rolling it.

Moth larvae feed on wool, so clean a wool rug before you store it. Live larvae are a pest control job. More: carpet cleaning in a private house and how to store a rug.

A cat or a dog in a flat: urine and hair

If there is a cat or a dog at home, a stain on a rug can be larger than it looks: the area of the smell can be up to three times larger than the visible spot. Blot fresh urine with a clean cloth and do not rub. Veterinary sources name enzyme products for animal urine, but test any product on a hidden spot first.

If the urine has reached the backing, the smell may come back. Urine or odour treatment costs extra from €3/m². Example: a 2 × 3 m synthetic rug with urine treatment is 6 m² × €6 = €36 and 6 m² × €3 = €18, from €54 in total. More: rug cleaning for urine.
