Large synthetic rugs and fitted carpet in a house are cleaned on site, while wool and other delicate rugs are cleaned in the workshop with pick-up. In Voleri travel is included, but pick-up and return both ways together costs €10. Send photos of both sides, and a specialist gives the price.
One- and two-storey houses along the bank
Voleri is a port and residential area on the left bank of the Daugava between Iļģuciems and Spilve. The residential development, a row of one- and two-storey houses along the Daugava bank, took shape in the 1930s. Today the neighbourhood has a port, logistics, warehouses, industry and limited housing, so residential houses here are one part of the neighbourhood, not the dominant one.
A low-rise house can have several rugs, and they are told apart by fibre. Synthetic rugs and fitted carpet are cleaned on site, while wool, silk and hand-made rugs are cleaned in the workshop with pick-up, because delicate fibres need controlled wet cleaning and full drying. Travel to Voleri is included in the price.
Daugavgrīvas šoseja, access roads and the request
In Voleri the main roads are Daugavgrīvas šoseja and the port access roads, and in some zones access is restricted. So in the request write the exact address and whether there is a barrier, a gate or a closed road by the house, and where a car can stop.
In a two-storey house, state which floor the rug is on and how many flights of stairs there are. Add the length and width of each rug in metres, photos of the top and the underside, and notes about stains or smell. If heavy furniture stands on the rug, it must be mentioned in the request. For rugs cleaned in the workshop, see the page rug cleaning with pick-up: pick-up and return costs €10 there and back.
A large rug that cannot be carried out
A living room rug in a low-rise house can be 10 m² or larger, and it cannot simply be picked up. If it is synthetic with a short pile, it is cleaned on site, and large rug cleaning starts from €6/m². Example: a 3.5 × 4.5 m rug is 15.75 m², and 15.75 × €6 = from €94.50. For an oval or round rug the price is calculated by the rectangle around it: an oval rug of 2 × 3 m is counted as 6 m²; so in the request give the longest and the shortest dimension.
How long a rug takes to dry after cleaning depends on the fibre, the pile thickness, the backing, the room temperature, the air humidity and the ventilation. After cleaning, ventilate the room if possible. In humid air evaporation is slower, and a fan or a dehumidifier speeds it up.
Sheers and day curtains in the sun
If there is a sheer or a thin day curtain in front of a window that the sun shines on, the fabric can fade or yellow over time. Conservators write that light fades colours. The causes of yellowing can be sun, smoke or kitchen vapour, and not every yellowing can be removed, so whiteness cannot be promised.
Sheer curtain cleaning costs from €2.30/m² of fabric. A curtain of 3 × 2.6 m is 7.8 m², and 7.8 × €2.30 = €17.94, so cleaning costs €45, and pick-up and return is added. If there are several curtains, write them in one request.
A hallway, stairs and a rug on the first floor
In a two-storey house a rug on the stairs and in the hallway takes heavier wear: everyone who lives in or visits the house walks on it. Fitted carpet on the stairs is cleaned on site, and stair and hallway carpet cleaning costs from €4/m². Example: 8 m² × €4 = €32, so the charge is €45.
If the hallway runner is wool, it is cleaned in the workshop with pick-up. Hot water together with rubbing can make wool felt, and the rug can shrink, and this usually cannot be reversed.
A cat, a dog and urine on a rug
If the house has a pet, write in the request where the stain or smell is. The area of the smell can be up to three times larger than the visible patch. Veterinary sources mention enzymatic cleaning products, but test any product on a hidden spot first. Rug urine treatment is an extra treatment from €3/m².
If urine has reached the rug backing or the floor, cleaning may not end the smell, and the smell can return. If a cat repeatedly marks a spot, that is also a behaviour or health question to discuss with a veterinarian.
Fitted carpet in an office or company premises
Because port, logistics, warehouse and production sites operate in Voleri, companies here may have offices and meeting rooms with fitted carpet. Such a carpet cannot be carried out, so fitted carpet cleaning is done right there. Up to 100 m² the price is from €4/m², and above 100 m² from €2.50/m² for the whole area: 130 m² × €2.50 = from €325.
For businesses the price depends on the area and the volume, and the unit prices are the same “from” prices. In the request, state the area, the number of rooms and the time when the rooms are free. If entry to the territory is restricted, write that too.
