Rug cleaning with pick-up in Iecava - for multi-storey buildings and detached-house districts

Multi-storey factory workers' buildings and older rugs

In Iecava multi-storey residential buildings were put up for factory workers, and the town took shape by the late 1970s as the urban village merged with Dārtija, Rakmente and Pārupe. A flat in such a building may have one large rug in the room and a wool or tufted rug by the bed.

For any flat’s rug, start with the fibre. A synthetic rug with a short pile suits cleaning at home from €6/m². A wool or cotton rug is cleaned with pick-up from €10/m². If the rug has no label, photos of the underside and a close-up help to see whether it is a tufted, flatweave or hand-knotted rug. In a hand-made rug the dyes can bleed, so colourfastness is tested on a hidden spot before wetting. We do not do repairs or fringe restoration.

If you live in Iecava parish outside the town, write the exact address (street and house number), because then the price and conditions can be stated precisely.

A wool rug that has lain in a room for years

For a wool rug the main risks are water and heat. Conservators note that heat strips wool of its natural oils and weakens the threads, while high humidity can damage the fibres and make the dyes bleed. Hot water together with rubbing or the movement of a washing machine felts wool, and the rug can shrink. This is why a wool rug is the one that goes to the workshop.

Conservators advise turning a rug from time to time so that it wears evenly. If a rug has lain in one place for years, note in your request where it is, whether there is sun by the window and whether there is parquet or tiles under it. More: wool rug cleaning and can a wool rug be washed.

Fitted carpet in a flat

Fitted carpet (carpeting) cannot be lifted, so it is cleaned on site, and the price is from €4/m² up to 100 m². Carpet makers, for example Shaw, advise professional hot-water extraction once every 12–18 months, depending on the traffic. Too much moisture in fitted carpet without water extraction can cause wrinkles.

In your request, write the number of rooms, how many m² each has and whether furniture stands on the carpet. More: fitted carpet cleaning. If the carpet is glued to the floor, say so.

Rental flat: the rug between tenants

If you let a flat, the rug is the thing that shows the previous tenant soonest. Before a new tenant moves in, attach photos of the stains to the request. If the flat has to be ready by a certain date, write it in the request. A fresh stain usually comes out better than an old, soaked-in one, but paint and bleach spots often stay.

If there has been smoking in the flat, the smell can be reduced, but we cannot promise that it will disappear: tobacco residue stays in fabrics, and cleaning gives only a short-lived result. More: carpet cleaning in a rental flat.

Sheers and day curtains in flat windows

If the windows of a flat in a multi-storey building have sheers and day curtains, they can be booked for cleaning together with the rugs. For light and day curtains and sheers the price is from €2.30/m² of fabric, for heavy, night and double curtains from €3.70/m². The fabric width and length are counted, not the size of the window.

Light fades fibres, and in a sunny window sheers can yellow. The cause of yellowing can be sun, smoke or cooking fumes, and not every yellowing can be removed, so we do not promise bleaching. 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.

Access along the A7 and what it changes

The A7/Via Baltica leads towards Ķekava, Riga, Bauska and Lithuania. If you live along it, write in your request where a car can stop by the house and on which side the entrance is.

Iecava is further than about 15 km from the Riga boundary, so pick-up and return here costs €10 and another €10. If several rugs, curtains or fitted carpet need cleaning, write everything in one request.

Prices in Iecava

An order has a minimum of €45, which covers only cleaning: if the total is lower, you pay €45. Travel to Iecava is from €10, because Iecava is further than about 15 km from the Riga boundary. Pick-up and return is €10 and another €10 for the distance beyond this boundary.

Example: a 2 × 3 m wool rug is 6 m² × €10 = from €60, and pick-up and return €10 + €10 = €20, from €80 in total. For a 2 × 3 m silk rug the price is from €90 plus pick-up, and the final price is given from a photo. Old urine in wool may stay.
