Large synthetic rugs and fitted carpet are cleaned on site from €6/m² and from €4/m², wool and hand-made rugs with pick-up. Travel is included in Riga and up to about 15 km outside the Riga boundary; further out it is from €10.
Several floors and several rugs in one request
In a house the rugs are varied: a large synthetic rug in the living room, a wool rug in the bedroom, fitted carpet on the stairs or on the first floor (upstairs), a sheepskin by the fireplace. Each has its own price and its own way of cleaning, so list them all in one request, each on a separate line.
- Room and floor Which floor the rug is on and whether stairs lead to it.
- Size Length × width in metres without the fringe; for fitted carpet, the area in m².
- Fibre and photos If you know the fibre, write it. Photos from above and from the underside help to identify it.
- Access Where a car can stop by the house and whether the road to the house is passable.
If a house has fitted carpet on the stairs, see also stair and hallway carpet cleaning. If both carpets and curtains need cleaning, put them in one request.

Rugs in a summer house and an unheated house
If a rug spends the winter in an unheated summer house, the air humidity matters. The Health Inspectorate (Veselības inspekcija) writes that a comfortable indoor air humidity is 40–60%, and above 80% there is a high risk of mould. Conservators warn that high humidity damages rug fibres and can make dyes bleed.
If a rug smells of damp after winter or has patches on it, photograph them up close and from the underside and write that in the request. Mould in a porous material often cannot be fully cleaned out, and the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) writes that mouldy porous materials may have to be thrown away. If the rug has been wet, see carpet cleaning after a flood.
A rug that you store over winter should be cleaned and dried first. Conservators advise not folding it but rolling it, and not storing it in a cellar or an attic. More: how to wrap and store a rug.

Sand by the entrance and the terrace door
In a private house, sand, grass and pine needles get into the rug by the entrance and the terrace door. Before cleaning, vacuum up as much dust as you can, and write if the rug has been used outdoors or on a terrace.
How much carpet cleaning in a house costs
- Synthetic short-pile rug, cleaning at home: from €6/m².
- Fitted carpet (soft floor covering) up to 100 m²: from €4/m².
- Wool or cotton rug (with pick-up): from €10/m².
- Silk, viscose, hide, hand-made and Persian rugs (with pick-up): from €15/m², price from a photo.
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. Pick-up and return in Riga costs €10 (both ways together); in the Riga region up to about 15 km from the Riga boundary it is also €10, and further out another €10 is added.
Example: fitted carpet upstairs, 30 m² × €4 = from €120. We work in Riga, for example in Mežaparks, and in the Riga region: in Ķekava, Jūrmala and Sigulda. All prices: carpet and rug cleaning prices.
What usually comes out and what may stay
Usually comes out
- dust, sand and everyday dirt;
- greyness in the places where people walk;
- fresh stains, if they have not been rubbed.
May stay
- mould patches and a damp smell in a porous rug;
- traces of dye bleeding after a damp winter;
- a spot by the window faded by the sun;
- old stains, paint and bleach patches.
A smell can be reduced, but we cannot promise it will go. Before the job, a specialist tells you what to expect.
