Carpet and curtain cleaning in Beberbeķi - for two-storey detached houses with gardens

Two-storey houses with fenced gardens

Beberbeķi is a neighbourhood on the western edge of Riga by the airport, the forest and the Mārupe boundary. Next to the allotment gardens there are large, mostly two-storey detached houses with fenced gardens, and private-house development has grown here.

In a two-storey house the rugs are on several floors: downstairs in the living room and the hallway, upstairs in the bedrooms and the children’s room, and the stairs connect everything. Each has its own fibre and its own wear. So a list helps in the request: the room, the size in metres, the fibre if you know it, and a photo.

Fitted carpets and large synthetic rugs are cleaned at home, while wool, silk and hand-knotted rugs go with pick-up. If you are not sure, in the “Where to clean?” field choose “Not sure, please advise”, and add photos.

A large rug in a spacious living room

In a spacious living room a rug can be 3 × 4 m or larger, and it cannot simply be folded and carried out. For such a short-pile synthetic rug, cleaning at home is from €6/m²: 3 × 4 m is 12 m², 12 × €6 = from €72. For a long-pile or thick rug the price is from €10/m².

How long a rug takes to dry depends on the fibre, the pile thickness, the backing, the room temperature, the air humidity and the ventilation. The US Environmental Protection Agency notes that fans and lower air humidity speed up drying; for a thick rug this matters more. Read large rug cleaning in Beberbeķi.

For round and oval rugs, write the diameter: the price is counted by the rectangle around the rug, so a rug 2 m across is 4 m².

Stairs between floors and a hallway runner

A stair carpet in a two-storey house must be mentioned separately in the request, because it can be neither rolled up nor carried away. Write the number of steps, the width of the stairs and whether the carpet runs the full length or is only a runner. A hallway runner, if it lies loose, can be cleaned either at home or with pick-up.

Jute and sisal in a modern interior

In newer private-house projects the interior can have natural-fibre rugs of jute or sisal. These fibres can turn brown from water, and makers advise cleaning them dry. So washing and steam are not recommended for such rugs.

The price for a jute, sisal or coir rug is set from a photo. It is set by the size of the rug in m², the fibre and the backing, stains and water marks, and pick-up or work on site. See jute and sisal rug cleaning in Beberbeķi.

Pets: urine and hair

If there is a dog or a cat at home, a rug can hold both hair and a urine smell. Before using any product, test it on a hidden spot. Ammonia-based products smell like urine to a cat, and veterinary sources mention enzyme products for animal urine.

Smell treatment is from €3/m² on top of the cleaning. If urine has reached the backing, the smell may come back. In more detail: removing pet hair from a rug in Beberbeķi and rug urine stain cleaning.

A new rug in a new house

In a new house with a new tufted rug, a question about the backing can arise. Latex can stick to or leave colour on some new floors (parquet, laminate), and a new rug with a latex backing may smell of ammonia at first. If the rug is dirty after renovation, see carpet cleaning after renovation.

Access to Beberbeķi and what to write in the form

Access is along Kārļa Ulmaņa gatve and the roads towards the airport and Mārupe. The forest, the closeness of the airport and a sparser street network can affect access, so in the request write the exact address, where a car can stop near the house and whether there is a gate with a code or a bell.

Add a list of the rugs, the floors, the number of steps on the stairs and a smell or pets, if there are any. For curtains write the size of the fabric (width times length) and whether there is a lining or a blackout coating.

Prices in Beberbeķi

Short-pile synthetic rug at home from €6/m², fitted carpet up to 100 m² from €4/m², wool and cotton rug with pick-up from €10/m². For sheer and day curtains from €2.30/m², for heavy curtains from €3.70/m² of fabric. The minimum order is €45: if the total is lower, you pay €45.

Travel in Beberbeķi is included in the price. Pick-up and return costs €10 (both ways together). An example: a 2 × 3 m wool rug with pick-up is 6 m² × €10 = from €60 and €10 pick-up, from €70 in total. Water marks may stay in jute and sisal.

An example for curtains: two heavy curtains, each 1.5 × 2.6 m of fabric, come to 7.8 m² × €3.70 = €28.86, so the charge is €45 (the minimum order). If the curtains are cotton or linen, write that: some natural fibres can change length in moisture by up to 3%. See curtain cleaning in Beberbeķi.

If both rugs and curtains need cleaning, write them in one request.
