Railway junctions, warehouses and residential buildings
Šķirotava is a south-eastern industrial and logistics neighbourhood around large railway junctions. The buildings include railway infrastructure, warehouses, manufacturing, commercial sites and separate residential buildings.
The neighbourhood portal writes that the buildings on Krustpils iela are mainly low-rise private houses and apartment houses, as well as industrial sites and warehouses. This means that one neighbourhood can have a private house with several rugs, an apartment house and business premises. In a house the job is usually a loose rug; in a business, fitted carpet priced by area.
For businesses: carpet cleaning for businesses. For homes: carpet cleaning in a private house and rug cleaning with pick-up.
Lubānas iela, Krustpils iela and the Southern Bridge (Dienvidu tilts) connections
Lubānas iela, Krustpils iela, the railway and the Southern Bridge (Dienvidu tilts) connections form the access. For businesses, state when the premises are free and how to get there. Travel to Šķirotava is included in the price.
In the request, write:
- whether it is a house, a flat or a business premises;
- the length and width of the rug in metres, or the area of the fitted carpet in m²;
- where a car can stop and whether the entrance is through gates;
- the time when the premises are free, if it is a business;

- photos of the top and of the underside.
If heavy furniture or shelves stand on the rug, write that.
A fitted carpet in a warehouse office and a reception room
If a business has an office or a visitor room with a fitted carpet, the most important thing is the area. Carpet makers, for example Shaw, advise professional hot water extraction every 12–18 months, depending on use.
The price up to 100 m² is from €4/m²: 70 m² is 70 × €4 = from €280. Over 100 m² from €2.50/m² for the whole area: 110 m² is 110 × €2.50 = from €275. Read office carpet cleaning and fitted carpet cleaning.
A private house with several rugs
In a low-rise private house there can be a rug on the stairs, in the hallway and in the living room. The price of a runner is calculated by m²: 0.9 × 3.5 m is 3.15 m², and 3.15 × €6 = €18.90, so you pay €45. So write all the rugs in one request. Example: a 3 × 4 m synthetic rug is 12 m² × €6 = from €72.
Read stair and hallway carpet cleaning and carpet cleaning in a private house. Curtains can be added to the same request: curtain cleaning.
A rental flat and short-term letting
If a flat is let, cleaning can reduce dust and fresh stains, but it may not remove old marks and paint. If the flat has to be ready by a certain date, write it in the request.
More: carpet cleaning in a rental flat. If the rug is wool, it is cleaned with pick-up, because hot water together with rubbing can make wool felt.
Apartment houses near Krustpils iela: the stairwell and the property manager
If an apartment house has a fitted carpet in the stairwell or hallway, its cleaning can be ordered by the building’s property manager or a residents' representative. In the request, write the number of stairwells, the number of floors and the length and width of each section. So as not to disturb residents, state when the stairwell is less busy.
The price is by area, and the unit prices are the same “from” prices: up to 100 m² from €4/m², over 100 m² from €2.50/m² for the whole area. Read carpet cleaning for property managers and stair and hallway carpets.
A cat or dog in a private house: what to do about a urine stain
If a house has a cat or dog and there is a urine stain on the rug, it is important not to rub it: rubbing pushes it deeper. Blot the liquid with a clean material and, if you can, test any product in an inconspicuous spot. Veterinary sources name enzyme products for cat urine, but with ammonia-based products a cat may take the rug for a urine spot.
If the urine has got into the backing or under the rug, the smell can come back. Smell treatment is extra, from €3/m²: a 3 × 4 m rug is 12 m² × €6 = €72 and 12 × €3 = €36, together from €108. Read rug stain removal for urine.

The price depends on the size, the fibre, the dirt and stains, the smell, the access and the distance.
