The
Problem:
Just
when you thought it was safe to shelve the allergy medicine, along
come other problems to aggravate your allergies. Dirt, dust, mildew,
mold, and algae in forced air heating/cooling ducts can case allergies
to flare.
More
than 27 different species of fungi have now been identified in United
States homes and buildings. There is a high concentration of these
allergens in indoor air systems and because you're indoors 90% of
the time, you're exposed to it for a major portion of your day.
Leading
health and medical experts recommend regular cleaning maintenance
to help alleviate allergy problems and retard the growth of microorganisms.

Recognize
the Enemy- eliminate the ones you can
Mold needs little more
than moisture and a porous surface like grout, drywall, wallpaper
or carpet to grow on. Mold releases spores that are an allergen
to many. To thwart them:
1. Fix leaks immediately, because mold can sprout in 24 hours.
2. Keep bathrooms and kitchens well ventilated. Open windows and
turn on fans after bathing or cooking. 3. Inspect closets, bathrooms,
basements and airtight or sealed-off areas regularly.
4. Clean up small patches of mold with a solution of 5 parts water
to 1 part bleach. Call in a professional for patches larger that
a few square feet in size.
5. Tile grout should be cleaned professionally if cannot do it yourself.
Pollen
floats into your home through open doors and windows. It also comes
in on pets and clothing. For cleaner indoor air, keep doors and
windows closed and use an air filter. We recommend the Alpine 'Flair
Purification System. Besides pollen, it eliminates smoke, tobacco,
cooking odors, and sanitizes bacteria and mildew. Ask about our
allergy furnace filters. Test show they remove 96% of air-borne
particles such as dust, pollen and mold. Our filters come with a
lifetime guarantee! Call today for a free demonstration.
Dust
mites are members of the spider family. Up to 100,000 of
them can live on a spare yard of carpet mattress, drapes and in
air ducts. Allergic reaction to the decaying bodies of dead mites
and fecal matter is common. Any time you see a cobweb, you have
dust. There can up to 10,000 mite eggs in an ounce of dust!
Animal
dander, tiny flakes of pet skin and saliva, float in the
house and air ducts. Animal dander and other air pollutants irritate
eyes, nose and respirator systems.
Did you know that the fine dust particles you see glistening
in a sunny room are actually pet dander and the fecal matter of
mites and other organisms?

Your
carpet: if you watered it, would it grow?
Dust, dust mites and their by-products,
pollen, mold, algae and bacteria, and chemical residue from previous
poor cleaning accumulate in carpet. If you have a pet, add animal
hair, body oils and dander. Plus urine, feces and whatever else
Fido walked or laid in, you can add to the list. Until removed,
these substances are continuously stirred up from your carpet into
the air of your home. Our hypoallergenic cleaning methods will help
control these allergens and ensure you have a healthier home.
The
United States Department of Health recommends cleaning
carpet twice a year if you have pets. In addition lot decreasing
indoor air pollution, regular cleaning can double the life span
of your carpet and save you money on expensive replacement cost.

Your
air ducts: What lives in there... and what died down there?
Are
you brave enough to take the cover off a couple of your cold air
ducts to see? The stuff that's in you vacuum bag is the same stuff
that's in your air ducts. When then furnace or air conditioning
kicks on, that kind of "stuff" is pushed out to float
around your home until it collects on carpet, furniture, draperies-
and in lungs.
Air
duct cleaning is one of our specialties. Call us today at 734-973-1499.

Bedrooms
Since
you spend most of your time in the bedroom, concentrate your efforts
there.
1. Avoid dust collectors such as books, knickknacks,
stuffed animals and televisions.
2. Control dust mites on mattresses, box springs
and pillows with regular vacuuming or encase them in airtight, zippered
plastic covers. Wash all bedding regularly in hot water - at least
130 degrees Fahrenheit.
3. Wash pillows regularly and replace them every
two to three years. Use pillows made of synthetic material such
as Dacron or Orlon.
4. Keep pets off bedding and furniture. If the
pet refuse to give up his favorite spot cover the area with a cloth
that can be laundered frequently.
5. Reduce the growth of dust mites and mold by
keeping humidity below 50%, at about 30%. Central air-conditioning
is the most effective way to control humidity.

Vacuum:
Health Hazard!
People
with allergies should avoid vacuuming. But if you must vacuum, wear
a mask. If you have allergies, it is important to vacuum carpet
everyday and furniture at least once a week. Many vacuums can't
hand the job. Call us if you need help.

Get
pet hair off furniture easily
We see a lot of dog and cat hair on furniture,
carpet and all over. You can get it off with one of those little
rubber nubby-type brushes used for grooming cats. Going over the
furniture with one of these brushes will ball the hair into clumps.
You can get the brush in most pet stores for just a few dollars.

Stop
germs in their tracks
1.
Wash your hands often
2. Wash hands with hot soapy water for at least 20 seconds
(but not hot enough to cause redness or burning).
3. Don't use dish rags/cloths. They retain and
spread dangerous bacteria.
4. Disinfect sponges - zap them for 30 seconds
in the microwave to kill germs.
5. Use paper towels to wipe up meat juices and
then throw them away.
6. Wash dishes right after each meal because bacteria
grows quickly in the food left on dishes.
7. Use a clean towel every time you shower or bathe
to avoid wiping germs and bacteria (from previous use) back on your
skin.
8. Use a clean face cloth each time. Wet cloths
(and towels) are breeding areas for bacteria.
