Large synthetic rugs and fitted carpet are cleaned on site, while wool, viscose and other delicate rugs are cleaned with pick-up and return. Travel in Ķekava is included in the price, and pick-up and return costs €10. With your request, attach photos of both sides of the rug.
From the poultry factory village to the new quarters
After the poultry factory was built, a workers' village with multi-storey development grew up in Ķekava. Alongside it are detached-house districts, newer residential projects, the local centre and commercial development along the main roads. So homes differ: one has a single large rug in a flat, another several rugs and a spacious living room.
Which rug is cleaned where also differs. If a rug is synthetic with a short pile, it is cleaned at home from €6/m². Fitted carpet up to 100 m² costs from €4/m², and it is cleaned on site. If a rug is wool or cotton, it is cleaned in the workshop with pick-up from €10/m², because hot water and rubbing can felt wool.
Around Ķekava there are also Baloži, Baldone and rural areas, and they have their own conditions. So in your request, write the full address: in the town travel is included, but for more distant addresses the charge may differ.
Fitted carpet in a flat in a multi-storey building
In an older-type multi-storey building the floor of a flat may be covered with one fitted carpet that cannot be lifted. Such a carpet 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 about once every 12–18 months, depending on the traffic.
Too much moisture without extraction can wrinkle the covering and in some cases make it delaminate. In your request, write the number of rooms, the area of each room and whether furniture stands on the carpet. More: fitted carpet cleaning.
A viscose rug in a new home
If a new home has a light, soft rug called a “bamboo silk” rug, it is usually viscose. Wet viscose becomes much weaker and can change shape, and the pile can turn brown or yellow in moisture and flatten. So such a rug must not be rubbed or steamed.
For viscose and silk rugs the price is from €15/m², the final price is set from a photo, and the work is done in the workshop. A flattened viscose pile may stay even after cleaning, and a specialist says so before the job. More: viscose rug cleaning.
A large rug in a spacious living room
In a spacious living room a large rug can be 2 × 3 m or larger, and it is not easy to carry out. If it is synthetic with a short pile, it is cleaned on site. Before that, take the small tables, chairs and flower pots off the rug, and write in your request about a heavy sofa or wardrobe standing on it. For a round rug the price is calculated by the rectangle around it: a rug 2 m across is 4 m².
Example: a 2 × 3 m synthetic rug is 6 m² × €6 = €36, so you pay €45 (the minimum order). A 3 × 4 m rug is 12 m² × €6 = from €72. More: large rug cleaning.
A children’s room in a new home
If a new home has a children’s room, a play rug is where both food and drinks fall. Blot a fresh stain with a clean cloth and do not rub, because rubbing pushes it deeper. For blood and protein stains use cold water, not hot, because heat sets them.
Cleaning reduces dust in a rug, but it is not a treatment for allergy. A fresh stain usually comes out better than an old one, but hair dye and bleach spots often stay. More: children’s rug cleaning.
A private house yard and winter rugs
In winter many people clean rugs with dry snow, for example in the yard of a detached house. This is a habit, not a method that suits all rugs. If the snow is wet, it soaks in; in a wool rug moisture and rubbing can cause felting and the dyes to bleed. Before rolling up, the rug must be completely dry. Snow in the street can contain sand and salt.
If you doubt whether snow suits your rug, send photos of both sides. More: cleaning a rug with snow.
Access and traffic: what to state in your request
The main roads are the A7/Via Baltica and the new bypass. In your request, the following details help:
- the full address and the floor, and whether there is a lift;
- the place where a car can stop by the house;
- the sizes of the rugs in m², photos of the top and the underside;
- whether there is a cat or a dog in the house, and whether there is a smell.
Prices in Ķekava
The minimum order is €45: if the total is lower, you pay €45, and it applies only to cleaning. Travel in Ķekava is included in the price. Pick-up and return costs €10 (both ways together).
Example: a 2 × 3 m wool rug is 6 m² × €10 = from €60, plus €10, from €70 in total. 40 m² of fitted carpet is 40 × €4 = from €160, travel included. If urine has soaked into the backing of a synthetic rug, the smell may come back even after cleaning; urine or odour treatment costs extra from €3/m².
