Fitted carpet and large synthetic rugs are cleaned on site; wool, hand-made and delicate rugs are cleaned with pick-up. Sigulda is further than about 15 km from the Riga boundary, so travel is from €10, and pick-up and return costs €10 plus another €10. With your request, attach photos of both sides of the rug.
A tourism centre and guesthouses: a rug between guests
Sigulda is an important tourism centre of Latvia, and the town has many tourism, sports and hospitality sites. If you manage a guesthouse, apartments or a short-term rental house, between guests, a rug collects what earlier guests leave behind: drink stains, sand from the road and pet marks. For businesses the price depends on the area and the volume, and the unit prices are the same “from” prices.
If the rooms have to be ready by a certain date, write it in the request, and attach photos of each rug and of the stains. A fresh stain usually comes out better than one that has set in. For fitted carpet up to 100 m² the price is from €4/m², over 100 m² from €2.50/m² for the whole area. More: carpet cleaning in a rental flat and hotel carpet cleaning.
A Persian and hand-made rug in an older house
A detached house or an older building may have a hand-knotted or Persian rug that you inherited or bought on a trip. In such a rug the natural dyes can bleed, so before any wetting, colourfastness should be tested on a hidden spot. For silk, hand-made and antique rugs the price is given from a photo; the rug goes to the workshop, and the price is from €15/m².
Conservators advise against using commercial carpet shampoos on important rugs, because afterwards dirt sticks to the fibres. We do not do repairs or fringe restoration. More: Persian rug cleaning and care of silk and Persian rugs. If you do not know whether a rug is hand-made, send a photo of the underside: a hand-knotted rug has no glue layer, and the fringe is the ends of the rug’s own threads.
A dog after a hike: sand, mud and urine
After a walk in the valley a dog can bring in mud and sand, and traces are left on the rug. Do not rub a wet mud stain, because rubbing pushes it deeper; blot fresh liquid by pressing a clean cloth without rubbing. Vacuum dry dirt first. After that the rug needs time to dry, and how long depends on the fibre, the pile thickness, the air humidity and ventilation.
If an animal has left urine, the area of the smell can be up to three times larger than the visible spot. Urine or odour treatment is extra, from €3/m². If the urine has reached the backing, the smell may come back even after cleaning. More: rug cleaning for animal hair and for urine.
Valley terrain and event traffic: what to say about access
The terrain of the Gauja valley, the bridges and event traffic can affect the route to the house. The A2 and the railway lead towards Riga and the towns of Vidzeme.
So in your request, write the full address and whether the access road is steep or narrow, where a car can stop by the house, which floor the room is on and whether there is a lift. If the house is on a slope, it is worth mentioning. If heavy furniture that cannot be moved stands on the rug, write that in your request, because the specialist needs to know.
Guesthouse curtains: day, heavy and blackout
In a guesthouse the curtains can be double: sheers by day and a heavy or blackout curtain at night. For thin and day curtains and sheers the price is from €2.30/m² of fabric, for heavy, night and double curtains from €3.70/m². The price is based on the width and length of the curtain itself. If a curtain has a lining, read the labels of both fabrics.
On blackout curtains the coating can crack from heat, so makers warn against the dryer and a hot iron on the coated side. On velvet curtains, water and pressure can crush the pile. Curtain take-down and rehanging is a separate job with a price depending on the situation. More: blackout curtain cleaning and commercial curtain cleaning.
Stairs and hallway in a detached house
In a detached house the stairs and the hallway may have fitted carpet or a runner, and it wears out most. Glued-down carpet is cleaned on site; a separate synthetic runner can be cleaned at home from €6/m², and a wool runner with pick-up from €10/m². Write the number of steps and the length and width of the runner. More: stair and hallway carpet cleaning.
Prices in Sigulda
Cleaning has a minimum order of €45; if the total is lower, you pay €45. The rest is added: in Sigulda travel is from €10, because Sigulda is further than about 15 km from the Riga boundary, and pick-up and return in both directions together is €10 and another €10 for this distance.
Example: a 2 × 3 m wool rug is 6 m² × €10 = from €60, plus €20 for pick-up and return, from €80 in total. For a 2 × 3 m silk rug the price is from €90 plus pick-up, and the final price is given from a photo. 40 m² of fitted carpet is 40 × €4 = from €160, and travel from €10 is added. Old urine in wool may stay.
