Rug cleaning with pick-up in Teika - for pre-war buildings and office blocks

Pre-war buildings and one- or two-family houses

Teika developed as a residential colony by Vidzemes šoseja, and plot buyers had to build detached houses for one or two families intended for one or two families. Today the neighbourhood has pre-war detached houses, low-rise buildings and apartment buildings. That means one street can have both a flat with a single large rug and a house with several rooms and rugs in each.

If the building is pre-war, the rooms may have higher windows, long curtains and older wool or hand-made rugs. These are cleaned with pick-up, because delicate fibres need controlled wet cleaning and full drying, which a living room floor does not provide. Fitted carpet and large synthetic rugs are cleaned on site, and travel to Teika is included in the price.

If you are not sure how each rug should be cleaned, choose “Not sure” in the “Where to clean?” field of the form. A specialist will say from the photos whether the rug needs to be cleaned with pick-up.

Brīvības gatve, Gustava Zemgala gatve and parking

Teika is a neighbourhood close to the centre, crossed by Brīvības gatve and Gustava Zemgala gatve, with wide public transport coverage. At the same time, busy main roads and dense residential blocks affect parking, so in the request write where a car can stop near your building and how far that is from the entrance.

For a flat, state the floor and whether there is a lift. Add the rug size (length × width, without the fringe), photos of the top and the underside, and a note about stains and smell. Before cleaning, take chairs and flowerpots off the rug at home, and mention heavy furniture on the rug in the request.

Pick-up and return in Teika costs €10 (both ways together). If several rugs or curtains need cleaning, write them in one request.

Tall windows and heavy curtains

If the windows are tall, the curtains are long and often heavy. The outer fabric and the lining can be of different fibres, so read the care label for both parts. Makers such as Wolf-Gordon warn that heat and aggressive washing can make a blackout coating crack or flake. In velvet curtains, water and pressure can crush the pile, brush it along the pile only when dry.

Some natural fibres move with moisture and can change length by up to 3%, so a shrinkage warning is not a formality. Curtain dry cleaning in Teika costs from €3.70/m² for heavy curtains. Example: three heavy curtains, each 2 × 3 m of fabric, are 18 m² × €3.70 = from €66.60. The price of curtain take-down and rehanging depends on the situation: the length of the curtain rail, the height and the type of fixing matter.

A hand-made rug in an old flat

Older flats may have inherited hand-made or Persian rugs. Natural dyes can bleed, so colourfastness must be tested in a hidden spot before the rug is wetted. The Canadian Conservation Institute advises against using shop-bought carpet shampoos on valuable rugs, because afterwards the dirt clings to the fibres even more.

Persian rug cleaning in Teika costs from €15/m², and the final price is set from a photo. Example: a 2 × 3 m rug is 6 m² × €15 = from €90, plus pick-up and return €10. We do not do repairs or fringe restoration.

Offices and commercial premises along Brīvības gatve

Teika is not only a residential but also an office neighbourhood: it has office complexes, technology companies, retail and services. Fitted carpet in an office needs cleaning periodically. Makers such as Shaw usually cite 12–18 months depending on traffic and warn that excessive wetting without extraction can cause wrinkles.

Up to 100 m², fitted carpet cleaning costs from €4/m², and above 100 m² from €2.50/m² for the whole area: 140 m² × €2.50 = from €350. See office carpet cleaning in Teika. For businesses the price depends on the area and the volume, and the request must say when the rooms are free.

A rental flat between tenants

In the apartment buildings and low-rise houses of Teika, some flats may be let to tenants. When a tenant changes in a flat, fitted carpet or a large synthetic rug is worth cleaning before the next occupant before the next occupant. Carpet cleaning in a rental flat is done on site if the rug is synthetic or fitted, and the request must state the area, the floor and whether the carpet has old smells or stains.

Before cleaning, photograph the damage that is already on the rug, so it can be told apart from what appeared later. If the tenant has left a smell caused by urine or smoke, write that in the request: the smell can be reduced, but we cannot promise it will disappear.
