Why can't I get the cigarette smell out of my house?

The same nicotine in tobacco that stains your skin and teeth leaves dingy yellow stains on your walls, furniture, and carpet. Homes and apartments inhabited by indoor smokers often have brown or yellow stains and streaks on walls and furniture from the buildup of years of cigarette smoke. These homes often require the professional services of a specialty cleaning company to remove them completely rather than just cover them up. 

Cigarette smoke permeates every surface of a home. Smokers usually don't even notice the odor, while non-smoking guests are bombarded with the smell the moment they walk through the door. While many "do it yourself" remedies exist that tackle the problem at a surface level, nicotine stains are a unique issue - to completely rid a home of this very thick and set-in greasy type of stain, a specialized professional method is the only correct solution.

Professional methods include specific techniques and specialized professional products to clean your carpet, draperies, hard surfaces, furniture and walls and ceilings. After the thorough cleansing, a stain-blocking product is applied to prevent further toxic stain buildup.

If you have tried everything and still can't get the smell of cigarettes out of your house, Gator Clean can help! Find out more about our Nicotine Removal and Restoration service.

We hired Gator Clean to clean our ducts and yes a small amount of mold was found. Danielle and Kelly were a great team and explained everything that they were doing. With the ducts clean the AC air seems to be cooler. This is NEW review, on November 6, 2024, we used Gator Clean to clean our tile floors, main bathroom shower walls and floor and finished it off using a Sandstone colorseal on the grout. I wish I had taken before pictures. Danielle and Kelly again did a fantastic job.

These Ladies are great they get right down to business. Cleaned up afterwards and no pressure or scare tactics to up sale you like some other services, just what you need. They saved me from a big potential problem, when cleaning the dryer vent they suspected it wasn’t connected. I had local handyman check it out and in fact it came loose not connected under the trailers crawl space. THANKS Gater Clean for helping me avoid a major issue down the road ????

Cost Factors in Cleaning the Air Ducts of a Florida Home.

Cost Factors in Cleaning the Air Ducts of a Florida Home.

The cost of maintaining a home can add up pretty fast. Unlike renting, homeowners are solely responsible for repairs and upkeep of the various parts of their house. Some maintenance issues are more pressing than others, leaving many problems to simmer on the back burner. This has the potential to create a more giant headache out of issues you thought weren't that big of a deal.
