Carpet and fitted carpet cleaning in Bišumuiža - for homes and premises by Bauskas iela

Detached houses, family allotments and work premises in one neighbourhood

Bišumuiža is a left-bank neighbourhood of the Daugava with residential, industrial and historic areas. Under Riga’s spatial plan, residential and detached-house zones take up 29% in total, while the areas around the Bišumuiža ditch are mostly used as family allotments. Next to them are low-rise housing, industrial and warehouse sites and a few apartment buildings.

So the carpet jobs are varied. A detached house has several rugs and stairs, a flat in an apartment building has one large rug in a room, and a work or technical-services space has a fitted carpet whose price is calculated by the area.

If it is not clear where to clean the rug, in the form choose “Not sure” and send photos. A fitted carpet and large synthetic rugs are home jobs, while wool, silk, viscose and hand-knotted rugs go to a workshop.

Fitted carpet in a flat or work premises

A fitted carpet cannot be lifted and taken away, so it is cleaned on site. Makers such as Shaw advise periodic professional cleaning with hot water extraction, usually every 12–18 months; for a new carpet, read the maker’s instructions. Over-wetting without extraction can cause wrinkles and, in the worst case, delamination.

Up to 100 m² the price is from €4/m², for example 40 m² in a flat: 40 × €4 = from €160. Over 100 m² the price is from €2.50/m² for the whole area, for example 120 m² × €2.50 = from €300. Business premises are priced by their area and volume. Read fitted carpet cleaning.

For a space where work goes on all the time, state in the request when the premises are free.

A private house: stairs, hallway and several rugs

If the house has a stair carpet, it is cleaned at home. Write the number of steps and whether the carpet runs the full length or is a runner. A hallway runner, if it lies loose, can be cleaned either at home or with pick-up.

The price is affected by the size, the pile and the dirt. In more detail: stair and hallway carpet cleaning.

Jute and sisal: a dry rug that is afraid of water

A modern interior can have a jute, sisal or coir rug. These fibres can turn brown from water, and makers advise cleaning them dry, so steam and washing are not suitable for them.

A photo is enough for a price. It depends on the size of the rug in m², the fibre and the backing, stains and water marks, and whether the rug must be picked up or the work is on site. See jute and sisal rug cleaning.

An allotment cabin and a seasonal rug

If a family allotment around the Bišumuiža ditch has a summer house or a cabin, a rug there can lie for a long time without heating. If the cabin is unheated in winter, it is better to dry the rug before autumn and store it in a dry place; conservators advise not to use cellars and attics.

In a wool rug, moth larvae feed on the wool and avoid light, so the rug must be cleaned before storage. If the rug already has live larvae, that is a pest-control job, not cleaning. For rugs in a house and a cabin, read rug cleaning in a private house.

A rug in a flat that is hard to carry out: wool, viscose and synthetics

If a flat in an apartment building has one large rug in a room, it is not easy to carry down the stairs. Cleaning a short-pile synthetic rug at home starts from €6/m². For wool, hot water and rubbing can cause felting and shrinking, so it is for pick-up, from €10/m².

If the rug is viscose, or “bamboo silk”, it becomes much weaker when wet and can change shape; the pile can turn brown or flatten. For such a rug the price is from €15/m² and the final one is given from a photo: viscose rug cleaning.

Curtains in a house or work premises

Curtains are priced by the area of the fabric, not by the window. For thin and day curtains the price is from €2.30/m², and for heavy and night curtains from €3.70/m². Small curtains may come in under the minimum: then the charge is €45.

If both rugs and curtains need cleaning, write them in one request: curtain cleaning. Take-down and rehanging is priced case by case.

Access to Bišumuiža

Bišumuiža is connected with the rest of Riga by Bauskas iela, and the Southern Bridge is nearby. In the request, write the exact address, where a car can stop near the house or the premises and which floor the rug is on.

Write the size of the rug in metres (without the fringe), add photos of both sides and mention a smell or pets. For a round rug enter the diameter, because the price is calculated by the rectangle around it.

For a home visit, clear chairs, small tables and flower pots off the rug first. Mention any heavy furniture standing on the rug in the request.

Prices in Bišumuiža

The minimum order is €45: if the total is lower, you pay €45. Travel in Bišumuiža is included in the price. Pick-up and return costs €10 (both ways together). Water marks may stay in jute and sisal.
