 Spring Home Maintenace

After a mild winter, spring is here! Not only is spring a great time to get out and shake off that cabin fever, but it's also an excellent time to conduct a thorough maintenance check of your home, especially since it follows winter weather that is often responsible for the deterioration or failure of building materials and joint sealants. Doing a few chores now, will help ensure you'll live more comfortably throughout the summer months.

Many of the following simple tasks can add years to the life of your home and can also help prevent more costly repairs down the road. Even homes that are just a year old need some TLC.

6 Tips to save you money! 

1)  Inspect your roof surface for warping, moss and cracking, making sure shingles, shakes or tiles are sound. Remember the flashing around chimneys, skylights and vents. Seal all cracks and openings, and make repairs as needed. 

2)  Check gutters and downspouts. Make sure they are clear and slope to keep water away from your foundation. 

3)  Examine siding for evidence of deterioration including cracks, splintering, decay and insect damage. Clean, treat and repair as necessary. 

4)  Try out your air conditioning system. Remember to change furnace filters and be sure there’s no foliage growing up against your outside units. 

5)  Clean up fallen limbs, branches and other debris to discourage infestation by wood-eating insects. 

6)  Repair and seal wooden decks. Refasten loose boards and replace those that are damaged or badly cracked. Then use a deck cleaner, pressure washer or both to remove dirt and grime from the surface. Once dry, apply a sealer.

Maintaining a healthy home...what you need to know! 

Keeping any home clean can seem like a daunting task, especially a home with children and pets. However, it's not impossible. The problem is many of us don't realize the importance of maintaing a clean home nor do they understand the risks.

Fungus, bacteria, virus, pollen, animal hair and dust mites are just some of the elements found in the air of your home. This pollution inside any home is the cause of numerous allergies.

When these elements are breathed in through the mouth or nose (especially for babies), they can trigger asthma attacks, rhinitis and allergic bronchitis. Asthma is the most widespread chronic children’s illness in the world. Don't be fooled, even adults can suffer from these elements.

The problem is, most of us think when we clean our homes it solves all of this, right? Wrong! Most of us miss the important things. Our flooring and upholstery!

Let's start with our flooring. first, did you know that carpeting provides a healthier indoor air quality than smooth floors because it acts like a filter which traps and holds germs so that they cannot become airborne? It's a FACT!  Hardwood and smooth floors DO NOT trap the germs which allows them to easily become airborne to infect us.

Many people have been incorrectly informed that carpeting is unhealthy or unsanitary.  All of those reasons for which carpeting is presumed unhealthy, are precisely the same reasons which support the fact that carpeting provides a much healthier benefit than hardwood floors.

Vacuuming regularly helps maintain a healthy home, however the most over looked thing is to have your carpets professionally cleaned once a year. Why? Unhealthy microscopic contaminates within our homes includes:  Dead human and animal skin cells, dust mites, dust mite excrement, dead dust mite carcasses, bacteria, mold spores, pollen spores,  dried pet saliva,  viruses, and of course carbon, lint, silica, quartz, clay, and others. These don't go away by just your normal vacumming!

Professionally cleaned carpets (when done right) remove all these contaminates. This is also a reason to have them sanitized which allows your carpets to stay healthier longer. Additionally, it is important to have your carpets cleaned naturally and by what carpet manufacturers recommend...Hot Carbonating Extraction!

Now, I am sure you have heard someone tell you that having your carpets cleaned can wear down carpet fibers? Or, they had their carpets professionally cleaned and after a few days they looked worse than they did before they had them cleaned? Ring a bell?

The truth is...carpets do wear and the reason they look bad after a few days is because the service provider used soap, shampoo or other surfactant as their cleaning method. This is a very commn problem. Also, those who provide the steam clean method use too much water and carpets are left soaked for a long period of time. Carpets cleaned with a natural process can actually prolong the life of your carpet and allows you to maintain its healthy state in between professional cleanings! the best part, is carpets are kept cleaner much longer!

Nature's Way Chem-Dry uses ONLY natural solutions. Our method is drier and healthier. This is why we offer a 6 month guarantee!  

Maintaining Your Upholstered Furniture 

One of the most important things you can do to keep your furniture looking new and help maintain a healthy home is to have it professionally cleaned once a year.  

Did you know that upholstery cleaning is performed much like carpet? well, it is. It's also just as important for you to be aware that a natural cleaning process is the key to a job done right!

Dust, dirt, human skin, and oil from hands can make any fabric brittle and unhealthy; these also break down the fibers causing wear, tears, fading, and premature aging.  Preventing these effects as much as possible can save you money, and it adds years to the life of your upholstered furniture. Also, don't forget those throw pillows! 

In between those professional cleanings, it's important to vacuum your upholstered furniture and rugs at least once a week. Be sure to always spot clean immediately when an accident occurs.

Due to our natural solutions, process and products, we are now....
