“How to Improve Air Quality in Your Home”
More often in summer than winter, homes seem to acquire a stagnant
odor. You may begin to think, “This place smells like dirt.” Fortunately,
boosting air quality can be easy and inexpensive. Here’s how to do it:
Begin by cleaning away dust in often-missed places such as ceiling
fans, baseboards, and moldings.
Outstanding Client
Of The Month !
Meet Amiel Chios
Amiel is our long-standing client, who
had us clean his house rugs, but soon
came back with a request to tidy up his
own business as well! Thank you Amiel,
it was a pleasure working with you, and
we hope to hear back from you soon.
Every month I choose a very special
Client Of The Month. It’s my way of
acknowledging loyal clients and saying a
big “Thank you!” to those who support
me and my business with referrals and
repeat business…You could be my next
Client Of The Month!
Then clean the ductwork of your heating and air-conditioning system.
Though a professional will do a better job, just placing the vacuum
cleaner hose into various ducts can draw out a great deal of dust.
Use furnace vent filters. Lift up your vents and put the filters in place.
The air goes through the filter before it comes out. It traps the dust.
For a more serious problem, consider an in-line air-purification
system. The unit will pay off in the form of clean air for years to come.
Another approach to lowering the concentrations of indoor air
pollutants in your home is to increase the amount of outdoor air coming
indoors. Opening windows and doors, operating window or attic fans,
when the weather permits, or running a window air conditioner with the
vent control open increases the outdoor ventilation rate.
Getting your carpets cleaned twice a year is a very good idea. Your
carpet is the largest “dust filter” in your home – it catches all kinds.
You’ll have a healthier home with clean carpet.
“FIGHTING STRESS…”
To Fight Stress, Get A Pet: Work can be stressful. Sometimes home
life is stressful too, but having a pet can help. A Pet Care Trust study
shows that you don’t even have to stroke or cuddle your pet to reap the
stress-busting benefits.
Merely being in the same room with a pet has been shown to lower
stress levels; reduce heartbeat, and lower blood pressure. About 64
percent of people reported that having a pet reduced their anxiety levels.
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania say gazing at a fish tank
can have the same calming effect as a session of hypnosis.
