Wichita, KS

La Galette French Bakery and Restaurant is located at 1017 W Douglas Ave, in the Delano District. It is a wonderful Cafe that is known for their homemade bread, quiche, and French pastries.

I had the pleasure of having lunch with my Niece Aimee today at La Galette French Bakery and Restaurant. She is visiting from the San Francisco area where she is attending school. She wanted to go somewhere she would miss when she goes back.

If you are in the area it would be well worth your while to stop in for lunch.

Often overlooked in the prepping your home for sale arena - Carpet cleaning!

I know we mention that your home should be clean, ditch the stains, but for some reason most people jump straight to the "I don't want to replace the carpet!" response! Folks, you'd be amazed at what a good carpet cleaner can do for your carpets!

For the Wichita area, I personally have tried oh, about 8 carpet cleaners.

And have finally discovered the one I will be sticking with.

Let me preface this with the fact that I have 3 kids, 2 being rowdy boys who spill everything, and the 3rd being of the drooling, bottle dropping variety. I also have 2 dogs, 1 large to get the majority of the carpet dirty, and a small one to reach the spots that the bigger one can't fit into! So needless to say, my carpets get filthy quick and need cleaning often. Popsicles, milk, candy, mud, potty accidents, you name it, it's probably been in my carpet!

So I'd get them cleaned every few months. Sometimes it'd stay sticky afterwards - YUCK!!! Sometimes the old stains would be back, albeit lighter, within the month! Then I got lucky and met Andrew Armstrong, owner of City Steam Clean. At that point, I'm skeptical of carpet cleaner claims. But gave it a whirl. He came over and cleaned my living room, hall, and 1 bedroom. Then he sat there and talked to me about how to take care of carpets, what damages them, what damage looks like, life expectancy and how to maintain it, and more! The good part - he was actually one of the cheaper ones I used! The best part - no stains came back, the carpets weren't sticky, and they smelled wonderful for quite a while!!

He is now my exclusive carpet cleaner, and I've also had him do a few of my listings too! Everyone has been thrilled!

If you're thinking of putting your home on the market, and you've got sticky stains, don't think you need to replace the carpet! Call City Steam Clean and see what a wonderful job Andrew can do for you! If you're not selling but looking for a good carpet cleaner, he has my hearty recommendation!

Give him a call at 316-641-4784 !! You won't regret it! And tell him that Sheree sent you!
