A fitted carpet in a room where it cannot be lifted is cleaned on site, while wool and delicate rugs go to the workshop with pick-up. Travel to Spilve is included in the price, and pick-up and return costs €10 (both ways together). Attach photos of the top and the underside to the request, and a specialist gives the price.
A fitted carpet in a room that is not a flat
Spilve is a large north-western area with an airfield, meadows and warehouses. So a carpet here may be in rooms where the floor is covered with fitted carpet (carpeting): in office and service premises. This kind of fitted carpet cannot be carried outside, so it is cleaned right on the floor.
Makers such as Shaw advise cleaning fitted carpet periodically with hot water extraction, usually every 12–18 months depending on traffic, and state that over-wetting without extraction can cause wrinkles and, in severe cases, delamination of the backing.
In the request, write the area in m², the number of rooms and the time when the rooms are free. Fitted carpet cleaning costs from €4/m² up to 100 m², and above 100 m², the price from €2.50/m² applies to the whole area.
What to write in the request and how to reach the site
In Spilve the main routes are Daugavgrīvas iela and the roads towards Kleisti, but access depends on the particular site. So in the request, say how to get from these streets to the entrance and where a car can stop by the building. If the site is behind a gate or barrier, write that too.
For a warehouse or utility building where the office is on the first floor (one floor up), note the floor and whether there is a lift. Attach photos: for a fitted carpet, an overall view and the stained areas and the traffic lanes where people walk most. If there is a smell, write where it is stronger.
If some of the rugs are loose, for example a wool rug in the manager’s office, they are cleaned with pick-up. In the form, under “Where to clean?”, choose “Not sure” if you are unsure about the fibre, and a specialist will advise from the photos.
A garden-plot cabin and seasonal rugs
In the eastern part of Spilve there are allotment gardens. If a garden plot has a cabin where a rug stays unheated in winter, it is better to clean the rug, dry it and store it in a dry place before the season ends. The Canadian Conservation Institute advises against using cellars and attics, and Washington State University (WSU) writes that moth larvae feed on materials of animal origin, including rugs and curtains, and avoid light.
If a rug has live moth larvae, that is pest control work, not cleaning. WSU does advise cleaning items properly before storage and storing them free of pests, so cleaning before winter is a sensible step. We write more about this in the storage advice.
If the cabin rug is wool or cotton, it is cleaned in the workshop, because these fibres need controlled wet cleaning and full drying. Carpet cleaning in a private house or cabin is also available on site if the rug is synthetic.
A large synthetic rug that cannot be carried out
If a room has a large synthetic rug with a short pile, it can be cleaned on site. Large rug cleaning starts from €6/m². Example: a 4 × 5 m rug is 20 m², 20 × €6 = from €120, and travel to Spilve is included in the price.
How long a rug takes to dry depends on the fibre, the pile thickness, the backing, the room temperature, the air humidity and the ventilation. If the room is large but has few windows, write in the request whether the windows can be opened.
Curtains in large windows and event rooms
If a room has large windows, the curtain fabric can be almost as big as a rug. Curtain cleaning is calculated by fabric area: thin and day curtains, sheers from €2.30/m², heavy, night and double curtains from €3.70/m². Measure the fabric itself, not the window.
For blackout curtains, makers such as Wolf-Gordon warn that heat and aggressive washing can make the coating crack or flake, so read the care label. Light fades colours, and this applies to curtains that the sun shines on every day. If both rugs and curtains need cleaning, write this in one request.
Prices in Spilve
The minimum order is €45: if the total is lower, you pay €45. This applies to the cleaning itself; the pick-up and return charge is added.
Travel to Spilve is included in the price. Pick-up and return costs €10 (both ways together). The prices are as follows:
| Job | Price |
|---|---|
| Fitted carpet up to 100 m² | from €4/m² |
| Fitted carpet over 100 m² (for the whole area) | from €2.50/m² |
| Synthetic rug with a short pile, at home | from €6/m² |
| Wool or cotton rug, with pick-up | from €10/m² |
May stay: an old, deeply set stain in a fitted carpet. A fresh stain usually comes out better than an old one. See the full price list on the prices page.
