Carpet Cleaning
Our water extraction method revitalizes carpets using low pH detergents and advanced Razorback machinery. Warm water washes deep into fibers while vacuuming removes dirt and residue. Post-cleaning, we provide surgical boot covers to protect damp carpets until they dry naturally. Research confirms this technique as the most effective for deep cleaning and pile restoration.
Pest Control
Gary Lang employs low-toxicity gels and sprays for safe, effective pest elimination. Annual treatments prevent infestations, with specialized ant control methods developed over decades. We advise homeowners on hygiene practices like sealed food storage and crack sealing to maintain pest-free environments without pantry emptying requirements.
Tile & Grout Cleaning
High-pressure cleaning restores tiles using specialized detergents and Razorback extraction equipment. We assess grout stability beforehand, manually scrubbing before high-pressure extraction removes embedded grime. While rust and lime deposits may persist, Gary provides tailored advice for optimal results.
Upholstery Cleaning
Water extraction techniques clean upholstery with fabric-specific detergents after spot-testing for dye stability. The process mirrors carpet cleaning but uses hand tools for delicate surfaces. Clients should expect slight dampness post-service, requiring minimal disturbance during drying periods.
Stain Removal
Gary's certified stain removal expertise addresses wine spills, pet urine, and challenging dyes. Immediate action is criticalwe advise blotting (not wiping) with absorbent materials followed by specific treatments like white vinegar for urine or cooking salt for wine. Professional assessment prevents fiber damage from DIY chemical attempts.

Questions
How long do carpets take to dry after cleaning?
Nylon carpets take 4-5 hours, wool 3-4 hours in warm weather. Cooler conditions add an hour. Ventilation accelerates drying.
Can all carpet stains be removed?
Most fresh stains respond well to treatment. Inks, dyes, and old urine stains often remain. Early professional intervention prevents permanent damage.
What should I do immediately after a wine spill?
Blot with absorbent material, apply cooking salt (not rock salt), and contact Gary immediately for optimal removal chances.
How frequently should pest treatments occur?
Annual treatments maintain pest control effectiveness. Good hygiene practices enhance treatment longevity between visits.
Is pantry emptying required for pest control?
No. We use unobtrusive gels in kitchen areas. Food should remain sealed in containers with tight-fitting lids.
Can tile grout be damaged during cleaning?
We assess grout stability first. Crumbling or missing grout prevents safe cleaning. Rust and lime deposits may resist complete removal.
