Our main goal is to keep ourselves and our families healthy, to live in a safe environment - But to be able to maintain a healthy home, we need understand the problem, so you know what to do about it. 

Did you know that...
  • We spend almost 90% of our lives indoors? [1]
  • Allergies are the single most common children’s health issue and the 5th most common chronic disease? [3]
It’s true. In fact:
  • Up to 30% of adults and 40% of kids suffer from allergies. [3]
  • There are 6 or more allergens present in the majority of homes. [9]

​This doesn't only apply to Allergens, It's Bacteria Too
Allergens aren’t the only challenge we face in maintaining a healthy home. Bacteria is another obstacle in our path. It’s been reported that 7 pathogens or types of bacteria – not hundreds or thousands – cause 90% of illnesses, hospitalizations and deaths. [2]
  • For the health-minded homeowners, one challenge we face is that 9 different types of pathogens can thrive and be entering your home on shoes alone. [2]

​Benefits of Clean Carpets
Regular household cleaning is a simple, inexpensive but effective regimen that helps reduce overall exposure to allergens, dust, bacteria and dander.
It is recommended to use a quality vacuum with a High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filter weekly or at least every other week to pick up surface level dirt, dust and other unhealthy elements and to help maintain your carpet’s ability to act as an effective filter.
Periodic deep cleanings are also recommended, which can get down to the base of the carpet where much of the dirt, allergens and bacteria settle. Seek the services of a qualified professional carpet cleaning company 2-3 times per year. Educate yourself on the options. Some services like traditional steam cleaners use not only soapy water but high pressure, which can soak through to the base of the carpet backing and create a breeding ground for mold, mildew and bacteria. With typical steam cleaning, your carpets often stay wet for 2 or more days, which is also a nuisance for the family. Our trained professionals use green certified solutions without any soaps or detergents and use far less water, so carpets dry faster – within a couple of hours rather than a couple of days.
