Salaspils is a town with several separate housing estates, detached-house areas and commercial sites. Fitted carpet and large synthetic rugs are cleaned on site. Travel in Salaspils is included in the price, pick-up and return costs €10 (both ways together), and photos of both sides of the rug help to choose the method.
Separate housing estates: one rug, one room
In the 1950s and 60s Salaspils grew into a town with several separate housing estates. In an apartment-building district the rooms can be small, and they may have one large rug or fitted carpet. The town also has detached-house areas, where there are more rugs and they are of different kinds. So in the address state the housing estate, so that it is clear which part of the town is meant.
The first question in the request is about the fibre. A synthetic rug with a short pile is cleaned at home from €6/m². Wool and cotton rugs are cleaned in the workshop from €10/m², because delicate fibres need controlled wet cleaning and full drying, which the floor of a room does not provide. If a rug is too large to carry out but the fibre is synthetic, cleaning at home is more convenient. If you do not know the fibre, send photos of both sides of the rug.
A long-pile (shaggy) rug in a small room
The long, thick pile and the backing of a long-pile (shaggy) rug usually hold water for longer, so it dries more slowly than a short-pile rug. How long a rug takes to dry depends on the fibre, the pile thickness, the backing, the room temperature, the air humidity and ventilation. A fan and a dehumidifier speed up drying.
For a long-pile or thick rug the price is from €10/m²; it can be cleaned at home or with pick-up. If the rug has to go to the workshop, pick-up €10 is added. Example: a 2 × 3 m long-pile rug is 6 m² × €10 = from €60, plus €10, from €70 in total. More: long-pile rug cleaning.
Fitted carpet in a housing-estate flat
If the carpet in a housing-estate flat covers the whole floor, it cannot be lifted. So it is cleaned on site, and up to 100 m² the price is from €4/m². If the flat is 50 m², that is 50 × €4 = from €200; travel in Salaspils is included in the price.
Makers, for example Shaw, advise professional hot-water extraction once every 12–18 months. In your request, write the number of rooms, the m² of each room and whether furniture stands on the carpet. More: fitted carpet cleaning.
A dog or a cat in a flat: hair and urine
If there is a dog or a cat at home, hair gets tangled in a long pile and urine can soak in deeper than it looks. The area of the smell can be up to three times larger than the visible stain. Blot fresh urine with a clean cloth, do not rub, and test a product on a hidden spot before using it. Veterinary sources name enzyme products for animal urine.
If the urine has reached the backing, the smell may come back even after cleaning. Urine or odour treatment costs extra from €3/m². If an animal repeatedly marks the same spot, health reasons must be ruled out with a vet. More: rug cleaning for urine and rug cleaning for animal hair.
A rental flat and a fresh renovation
If you let a flat short-term, check the rug between occupants. If the flat has to be ready by a certain date, write it in the request. Attach photos of the stains. More: carpet cleaning in a rental flat.
After a renovation, traces of paint, glue or dust may remain on a fitted carpet. Describe them in your request and attach a close-up. Paint and glue may stay even after cleaning. More: carpet cleaning after renovation.
Sheers and day curtains in housing-estate windows
In a flat with a sunny window, sheers can turn more yellow over time. The cause can be sun, smoke or kitchen steam, and not every yellowing can be removed. Light also fades fibres, so coloured day curtains on the sunny side can become paler.
For thin and day curtains and sheers the price is from €2.30/m² of fabric. For example, a sheer curtain 3 × 2.5 m is 7.5 m² × €2.30 = €17.25, so you pay €45 (the minimum order). If there are several curtains and a rug, write everything in one request. More: sheer curtain cleaning.
The railway, the Daugava and the A6: what to state about the address
The railway, the Daugava and the main road can make it longer to get from one part of town to another. The A6 and the electrified railway lead towards Riga and Ogre.
So in your request, state the housing estate or the street, the floor, whether there is a lift, and the place where a car can stop by the house. If the access road to the house is narrow, for example in a garden or forest area, mention that too.
