Fitted carpet is cleaned on site from €4/m², over 100 m² from €2.50/m² for the whole area. Send a list of buildings with the area or runner sizes and photos, and a specialist gives the price.
Stairwell carpet cleaning
In a stairwell the carpet wears most on the edges of the steps and on the landings by the flat doors, while at the entrance on the ground floor street dirt collects. Access on stairs is narrow, and access is one of the price factors.
For a stair runner, give its width, the number of steps and the sizes of the landings, and add photos from above and from the side. If the runner is fixed with rods or strips, photograph those too. Stairs in a private house have their own page: stair and hallway carpet cleaning.
Residents and timing
A stairwell may be the only entrance to the building, so it cannot be closed for long. Let the residents know the date and time, and say in the request when the stairwell has the fewest people. How long a carpet takes to dry depends on the fibre, the pile thickness, the room humidity and the ventilation.
If a resident reports a stain or a smell on a particular floor, add a photo and write which floor it is on. A smell can be reduced, but we cannot promise it will go.
Entrance hall and entrance mats
In an entrance hall the carpet takes the most street dirt, and in winter sand and road salt come in on shoes. The building’s own entrance mats can be cleaned, and the price is given from a photo and the size. We do not offer an exchange service for replaceable entrance mats.
Carpet cleaning in an office building
In an office building the property manager may be responsible for the shared areas: the entrance hall, corridors, lift lobbies and stairs. If you need a price for the shared areas and for the tenants' premises separately, split the areas in the request. For tenants' offices: office carpet cleaning and carpet tile cleaning in an office.
Makers such as Shaw advise cleaning fitted carpet professionally at regular intervals, usually every 12–18 months, depending on foot traffic. A busy shared corridor may need it more often than a floor with a single tenant.
What a property manager writes in the request
- The building addresses and the places to clean in each building.
- The area in m², or the runner length and width and the number of steps.
- Photos: the stairs, landings, entrance hall, entrance mats, stains.
- The number of floors, whether there is a lift and where a car can stop.
- The time when the rooms are free or have the fewest people.
How much carpet cleaning costs for a property manager
For businesses the price depends on the area and the volume; the unit prices are the same “from” prices. Fitted carpet up to 100 m² costs from €4/m², over 100 m² from €2.50/m², and then this price applies to the whole area.
- Stairwell runners (fixed to the steps) totalling 30 m²: 30 × €4 = from €120.
- Shared corridors of an office building, 180 m²: 180 × €2.50 = from €450.
- A single synthetic entrance hall rug of 8 m² (cleaned on site): 8 × €6 = from €48.
The minimum order is €45: if the total is lower, you pay €45. Travel is included in Riga and up to about 15 km outside the Riga boundary; further out it is from €10. The price depends on the size in m², the fibre, the pile length and thickness, the dirt and stains, smell or urine, access and distance. After you fill in the form, a specialist contacts you and gives the price based on the size, the fibre and the photos. All prices: carpet and rug cleaning prices.
What usually comes out and what may stay
Usually comes out
