Large fitted carpets in business premises and large synthetic rugs are cleaned on site, while wool and delicate rugs in flats are cleaned with pick-up. Add photos of the top and the underside to the request.
Office and retail buildings among apartment buildings
Krasta rajons is not an official Riga neighbourhood. It is a locally used name for the area along Krasta iela and the Daugava, and it is part of the Latgale neighbourhood. Wikipedia writes that the Krasta housing estate is the most recently built part of the Latgale neighbourhood, where intensive construction of retail and office buildings began after the restoration of independence.
This decides which kind of job it is. If a room is meant for an office or for retail and has a soft floor covering fitted in it, it cannot be lifted and taken away, so the job is done on site, and the price is calculated by area. If a flat is in an apartment building and has a separate wool or hand-made rug, it needs pick-up and cleaning in the workshop, because delicate fibres need controlled wet cleaning and full drying, which the floor of the room does not provide.
So in the request, say straight away whether the rug is on business premises or in a flat. More on the business side: carpet cleaning for businesses; for flat rugs, see the page rug cleaning with pick-up. For a wool rug, colourfastness should be tested in an inconspicuous spot before it is wetted, because the dyes can bleed.
Access by Krasta iela and the bridges: what to write in the request
Krasta iela, Salu tilts and Dienvidu tilts give regional road access. Travel to Krasta rajons is included in the price.
So that the specialist can give the price sooner, it helps to put in the request:
- the area of the room in m², or the length and width of the rug;
- whether it is an office, a shop, an eatery or a flat;
- which floor the room is on and whether there is a lift;
- whether a car can stop by the building;
- the time when the room is free and there are no visitors;
- photos of the top and of the underside, if the rug is not a fitted carpet.
Write in the request about heavy tables or shelves on the rug. Before cleaning, take chairs, small tables and plant pots off the rug, if they can be lifted.
A fitted carpet in a room: when the m² price is lower and how the sum is calculated
In its care guide, Shaw Floors mentions professional hot water extraction for a fitted carpet about once every 12–18 months, depending on how heavily the carpet is used. An office manager should read the carpet maker’s guidance. Too much moisture without extraction can cause creases and delamination.
Sum examples. A 40 m² office carpet: 40 × €4 = from €160, travel included. A 120 m² carpet: if the area is over 100 m², from €2.50/m² for the whole area, so 120 × €2.50 = from €300. These are “from” prices. More: fitted carpet cleaning and office carpet cleaning.
Eateries: where the carpet is by the entrance or in the dining room
Krasta rajons also has eateries. If a café or restaurant dining room has a fitted carpet or a large rug under the tables, the stains are usually from food and drink. A fresh stain usually comes out better than an old one, so at first blot the liquid with a clean absorbent material and do not rub, because rubbing pushes the stain deeper. Paint, hair dye and bleach marks often stay.
See carpet cleaning for a restaurant. If curtains also need cleaning, write them in the same request: curtain cleaning.
New building or renovation: fitted carpet before opening
Krasta rajons also has development land. If an office or shop opens, or a flat is moved into, after renovation or reconstruction, the fitted carpet may be dirty from the work or from moving furniture in. Write that in the request and add photos of the places where an imprint or a stain shows.
If you are unsure whether the rug has a care label or a maker’s guidance, a photo of the backing helps identify the material. The latex in a carpet backing can stick to some new floor finishes or change their colour, so if the carpet is new and lies on a new surface, write that too. Read: carpet cleaning after renovation.

For businesses the price depends on the area and the volume; the unit prices are the same “from” prices.

For silk, hand-made and antique rugs, the price is given from a photo.
