Carpet cleaning in Pļavnieki - for tall apartment buildings and school rooms

Five housing estate districts and 9–16-storey buildings: what that means for a rug

Wikipedia writes that the multi-storey district in Pļavnieki was built in the 1980s with five housing estate districts, and 9–16-storey buildings dominate, with a few of 18 storeys. The buildings also include schools, shopping centres and newer developments. This is a Soviet-period housing estate, so in the request, give the floor of the flat and whether there is a lift.

If a room in your flat is small, a large rug can take up most of the floor, and it may not be possible to carry it out through the lift door. So a large short-pile synthetic rug is cleaned on site, while wool, cotton and silk rugs are cleaned only with pick-up. A fitted carpet in a room or hallway is on-site work only.

Suitable pages: large rug cleaning, fitted carpet cleaning and rug cleaning with pick-up.

Deglava iela, Lubānas iela and parking inside the blocks

Deglava iela, Lubānas iela and public transport connect to the centre. In the request write where a car can stop by the entrance and on which floor the flat is. Travel to Pļavnieki is included in the price.

In the request, put:

• the number of floors of the building, the floor of the flat and whether the lift works;
• the length and width of the rug in metres;
• whether the rug is fitted or separate, and the material, if you know it;
• whether furniture that cannot be removed stands on the rug;
• where a car can stop by the building;
• photos of the top and of the underside.

Before cleaning on site, take chairs, small tables and plant pots off the rug; write about heavy furniture in the request.

A large rug that cannot be carried out through the lift door

If the rug is large and there is no room in the flat to unroll it elsewhere, cleaning on site is the suitable option. Example: a 2.8 × 4 m synthetic rug is 11.2 m² × €6 = from €67.20, travel included. For a long-pile (shaggy) rug the price is from €10/m², because the pile is thicker.

How long a rug takes to dry depends on the fibre, the thickness of the pile, the humidity of the room air and the ventilation, so air the room after cleaning. The Health Inspectorate (Veselības inspekcija) recommends a comfortable air humidity of 40–60% and airing every day.

Sheers and day curtains on sunny windows

If the windows face the sun, the light fades the fibres; conservators say this too. If sheers are yellowish, the cause may be sun, smoke or kitchen steam. Not every yellowing can be removed, so we do not promise whitening. Before washing thin curtains, read the label.

For thin and day curtains and sheers the price is from €2.30/m² of fabric. Example: three sheer curtains, each 2.2 × 2.5 m, are 16.5 m² × €2.30 = €37.95, so you pay €45. More: sheer curtain cleaning and curtain cleaning.

Newer developments and renovation: a fitted carpet and large rugs

Pļavnieki also has newer developments. If a flat has been furnished with a new rug after renovation, remember that a new rug with a latex backing can smell of ammonia at first, and a latex backing can stick to or discolour some new floor finishes. This is no reason to clean early: if the only problem with a new rug is the smell, air the room first.

If the rug is dirty from the work after renovation, write that in the request and add photos. More: carpet cleaning after renovation. For a fitted carpet up to 100 m² the price is from €4/m²: 30 m² is 30 × €4 = from €120.

Carpets in schools and kindergartens

Pļavnieki has schools. For a school or kindergarten, carpet cleaning is ordered as a business job: the price depends on the area and the volume, and the unit prices are the same “from” prices. In the request, state the type of room, the area and the time when the rooms are free. More: carpet cleaning for a kindergarten and school.

Prices in Pļavnieki

For a smaller job the minimum applies: if the calculation gives less than €45, you pay €45. Travel to Pļavnieki is included in the price. With pick-up, €10 is added for pick-up and return both ways. Example: a 1.5 × 2 m wool rug is 3 m² × €10 = €30, so cleaning costs €45, together with pick-up €55. Old urine in wool and paint stains may stay. The price depends on the size, the fibre, the pile length and thickness, the dirt and stains, the smell, the access and the distance. For silk, hand-made and antique rugs, the price is given from a photo.
