A Clean Home Is A Healthy Home

Let's start with Spring Cleaning-Inside. This is Ben Lund, Lund's Carpet Cleaning, Air Duct Cleaning and also CarpetCleaningSpokane.com. Where our slogan is "A CLEAN HOME IS A HEALTHY HOME". Well it has been a very long winter this year. A lot of soil has been brought into the house. The house has been closed up for a while, locking in allergens, viruses and other air born particles in the house. Not to mention food and pet odors.

Your first line of defense is your vacuum. Did you know that your carpet is the best filter in your home? Allergens and air born particles are heavier than air and get caught in the carpet fibers. In fact about 70% of the soiling in your home is considered dry soil and a good vacuum cleaner will remove it. The carpet mills recommend you professionally clean your carpet about every 12-18 months to to remove the other 30%. This will keep the soil from getting worked into the carpet and wear patterns from developing. The mills also recommend you use a "hot water extraction method" for your professional cleaning. Please review my article on my web site, "How to Choose the Best Carpet Cleaning Process".

"If it's in your house, it's in your lungs"! You are breathing the same air that is in your air ducts. 

Air Duct Cleaning is your second line of defense. Allergens, lint, dust and construction debris can build up in your ducts. If you are suffering from allergies these two services can drastically improve your standard of living. By having good air flow in your ducts can also decrease your heating bills and provide more consistent heat.

In conclusion of "A CLEAN HOME IS A HEALTHY HOME your furniture might need some attention. Think about this for a second. Your head is some where between 5 to 6 feet off the ground, unless you are on the floor. But, when you are relaxing in your recliner or laying on the couch your face is within a foot or two from the furniture. The same soil and allergen issues apply to furniture. Most vacuum cleaners have furniture attachment. Another option is a power vacuum with a truck mount carpet cleaning equipment. The air flow on this equipment is between 30-70 times stronger than a vacuum cleaner and you can save a bundle without having a full blown cleaning.
