Here there are allotment gardens, a recreation park, sports and event venues and limited permanent housing. A rug in a cabin that is used seasonally and a rug in a room are different jobs. Small and delicate rugs are cleaned with pick-up, large synthetic ones on site. Add photos to the request.
Allotment gardens, a park and limited permanent housing
Lucavsala has allotment gardens and a recreation park. There are also sports and event venues and seasonal services. There is little permanent housing, so a rug here may be in a cabin, a summer space or an event space.
This changes the question about rugs. If a cabin has one or two rugs that lie unused for most of the year, what matters is how they are stored and how clean they are before they are put away. The rug should be cleaned before that, and pest researchers advise it too: moth larvae feed on wool and avoid light.
Pages that suit a cabin: carpet cleaning in a private house and rug cleaning with pick-up. For a small and delicate rug in a cabin it makes sense to have it cleaned with pick-up, while a large synthetic rug is cleaned on site.
Salu tilts junctions and event days: what to write in the request
The Salu tilts junctions give access to the Lucavsala area, but during large events the traffic changes. So in the request, write exactly where the cabin or room is, how it can be reached and whether there is a gate or barrier nearby. Travel to Lucavsala is included in the price.
It helps to state:
- the type of room or cabin and whether it is heated;
- the number of rugs and the length and width of each in metres;
- the material, if known: wool, synthetic, jute or sisal;
- whether it is a fitted carpet or a loose rug;
- whether a car can stop by the cabin;
- photos of the top and of the underside.
Mention heavy furniture on the rug in the request, and if there is a stain on it, write when it appeared and from what. Before cleaning at home, take chairs, small tables and plant pots off the rug.
A rug in a cabin over winter: how to store it and when to clean it
If an allotment cabin is not heated in winter, it is better to dry the rug before winter and store it in a dry place; conservators advise against cellars and attics. Do not fold the rug, because creases are places where the fibre breaks. Roll it in the direction of the pile onto a wide tube, cover it with cotton fabric and keep it off the floor. High humidity damages wool fibres and can make the dyes bleed, so a dry cover matters.
If the rug is wool, it should be cleaned before storage, because moth larvae feed on wool, especially in dark places. Live larvae are a pest-control job, not cleaning. More: how to store a rug and wool rug cleaning.
If there is a cat or dog in the cabin: urine and fur
If an animal lives in the cabin, the rug may get urine stains. The area of smell can be up to three times larger than the visible stain, and with ammonia-based products the rug smells of urine to a cat. Veterinary sources name enzyme products for cat urine; the product should be tested in an inconspicuous spot. If urine has reached the backing or the floor, cleaning may not remove the smell, and the smell can come back.
At first, blot fresh urine with a clean absorbent material and do not rub. Smell treatment is extra, from €3/m²; a result cannot be promised. Read: rug cleaning for urine and rug cleaning for pet hair.
A jute or sisal rug on a terrace or in a cabin
If the interior of a cabin or terrace has a jute or sisal rug, it has to be treated differently from wool rugs. Jute and sisal can turn brown from water, and makers advise cleaning them dry. So for a jute rug the price is given from a photo, and a result cannot be promised.
The price for jute, sisal and coir rugs is given from a photo and these factors: the size of the rug in m², the fibre and the backing, stains and water marks, pick-up or work on site. Read: jute and sisal rug cleaning.
If the cabin windows have sheers or thin curtains, the sun can fade them. For thin and day curtains the price is from €2.30/m² of fabric, for heavy ones from €3.70/m². See curtain cleaning.
Prices in Lucavsala
| Job | Price |
|---|---|
| Short-pile synthetic rug, at home | from €6/m² |
| Wool or cotton rug with pick-up | from €10/m² |
| Jute, sisal or coir rug | price from a photo |
| Thin curtains, sheers | from €2.30/m² |
The minimum order is €45: if the total is lower, you pay €45. Travel to Lucavsala is included in the price, and pick-up and return costs €10 (both ways together). Example: a 1.6 × 2.3 m synthetic rug in a cabin is 3.68 m² × €6 = €22.08, so you pay €45. Old urine in the backing of a wool rug and dye bleeding may stay.
