Have You Sanitized to the Anti-Microbial Level?

Have you looked around your home lately to take an honest inventory of how clean it really is? Of course, you probably dust and vacuum regularly, as well as clean your bathrooms, hardwood or tiles floors and even scrub your windows. However, although your home may appear to be clean, there are always places that could be cleaner.

One of the most commonly ignored places in most homes is your air duct system. Typically they are out of site and, therefore, out of mind. However, dirty air ducts can lead to all kinds of problems, including dust, mildew and even mold. One of the best ways to prevent these things from building up and causing you and your family health problems is by getting your air ducts cleaned.

However, you can take it one step further and add an anti-microbial sanitation to the job in order to really get things clean. Not only will your ducts be clean and free of debris, but also with an anti-microbial sanitation, you will be able to clean to the microbial level. That means you can kill the bacteria and spores that might be living in your ducts and not just mask their effects.

If you need your air ducts cleaned in Portland or Vancouver then you should also consider getting an anti-microbial sanitation service as well. Click here to learn more.

As summer is winding down in the Portland/Vancouver area and we head towards the fall and winter months, there’s a good chance we’ll be starting to put our dryers through some heavy workloads. As people begin to bust out their sweaters, jackets, and blankets and flannel sheets, there is going to be more buildup than usual in our dryer vents.

A dirty dryer vent not only causes your dryer to work harder and therefore costs you more money, but it can also be a fire hazard. If it has been a while since your dryer vent was cleaned, then now might be a good time to get it done. If you’re not sure if your vent needs to be cleaned here are some signs to look for that may indicate it’s time to call in the professionals.

One sign that your dryer vent has too much lint built up is that it takes longer to dry your clothes than normal. Other signs to look for are lint buildup on the outside of your dryer or having very little or no lint on the lint screen. If your dryer suddenly stops in mid-cycle that is another sign that you need a dryer vent cleaning. One other common thing to look for is clothing that is very hot when you pull it out of the dryer.
