• Foam Cleaning - Used for upholstery fabrics that might shrink or bleed if wet cleaned. 
• Abrasive Cleaning - Involves agitation of the surface being cleaned. 
• Immersion Cleaning - Contents are dipped into a bath of the cleaning product. 

It Is Still A New Year

3/1/2018 (Permalink)

We are already three months in to 2018, many of us have already compiled a list of things we wish to accomplish or simply do better than the year before. More often than not, New Year resolutions tend to be goal orientated regarding health and monetary levels, and we have given up already.  So we'll look at something that satisfies both health and monetary... Your Home! Here are 3 things that we believe will not only make you feel better, it will also ease some tension on your pockets: 

1. Streamlining - Sorting through your stuff is an easy and inexpensive way to remove unnecessary clutter within your home. This will not only make you feel better, it will make your house look better; a clean house is a happy house. 
    
    

1. Shrink Your Bills - Go Green! Many people tend to think going green is solely based on solar panels, but this is not always the case. You can make the transition by simply cutting down energy use and doing things in a more efficient manner e.g. Install compact fluorescent bulbs and low-flow shower heads. 

1. Weekly Cleanings - Create a system that allows you to perform weekly cleaning around your house. Preventative maintenance goes along way in protecting your investment (house and household products - accessories). Doing this will increase the life of certain things, such as furniture, carpet etc.

Housecleaning Tips to Ease Allergies

5/18/2016 (Permalink)

Regular housecleaning can get rid of many allergy triggers and help relieve your symptoms.Here are some ways to keep your house clean and your allergies under control:

• Vacuum once or twice a week. Make sure your vacuum has a HEPA filter. Some allergens are so small that they pass right through a regular vacuum filter. That means that every time you vacuum, you could be sucking them off the floor and shooting them into the air, where you breathe them in.
• Cut clutter. Piles of boxes or clothing can trap dust and hide allergens like dust mites and cockroaches.
• Keep the bathroom free of mold. Scrub the tile regularly. Don't forget the shower curtain, too. You may be able to toss it in the washing machine.
• Wash sheets weekly in hot water. Make sure it's at least 130 F. That's hot enough to kill dust mites. If your child has allergies, do the same with any washable stuffed animals.
• Don't use scented cleaners or detergents. If you have allergies, the fragrances in cleaners can trigger symptoms. Look for fragrance-free products instead.
• Use a damp cloth and mop when cleaning. They'll trap allergens instead of knocking them into the air.
• Clean outside entryways. Sweep or vacuum. The cleaner your path or patio is, the less likely someone is to track dust or pollen into your house.
• Take shoes off before you go in the house. That way pollens or other triggers won’t get tracked in.
• Keep pets out of the bedroom. It's a key way to protect yourself from dander. Don't ever let pets sleep on the bed if you have pet allergies.
• Use air-conditioning. Instead of opening windows when it’s hot, use the AC. An air conditioner will filter the air, preventing dust, dirt, pollens, molds, and other triggers from getting in.
