What Are The Benefits of Carpet Sanitizing

What is Carpet Sanitizing?

  Carpet sanitizing is the process of disinfecting your carpet. This process involves the use of a disinfectant or sanitizer in conjunction with steam cleaning to help reduce or eliminate bacteria, viruses, and potential allergens from a carpet. There are many ways to sanitize or disinfect a carpet.

The Best Way to Sanitize Your Carpet

 The best way to sanitize and clean your carpet is to use a professional carpet cleaning company that utilizes steam cleaning or hot water extraction equipment.In addition to hot water extraction equipment the carpet cleaning company will also use a quality disinfectant or sanitizer when cleaning the carpets resulting in reduced allergens, dust mites, and bacteria within the carpet.

Your Home Needs More Than Just Carpet Cleaning

  Vacuum cleaning your carpet alone will not improve your indoor air quality. Although vacuuming does help remove dirt and debris from your carpet it will not kill bacteria within it. A routine disinfectant or sanitizing process should be implemented along with hot water extraction cleaning a.k.a. steam cleaning to help improve indoor air quality.

 Why Do Carpets Attract So Much Dirt and Allergens

 Your carpet attracts dirt and allergens from a variety of different avenues. The most common vehicle of dirt and allergen transmission would be shoes. When routinely traversing through the home the inhabitants walk outside and come back in carrying debris and irritates into the indoor environment. In addition, open windows let small pieces of debris into the indoor living space and at this point the carpet acts as a huge filter siphoning up all the debris that comes into the home resulting in a dirtier carpet.

 The Benefits of Steam Cleaning and Carpet Sanitizing/ Disinfecting

•  Indoor Air Quality Improves
•  Reduction of Allergens and Irritants
•  Dust Mite Eradication
•  Odor Elimination
•  Increases Carpet Longevity

How To Choose the Proper Filter For My Air Conditioner or Hvac System

 What do Air-Conditioning Filters Do?

 Air-conditioning filters protect vital system components inside of your air handler. These components consist of your evaporator coil, blower motor, and heat exchanger. Without proper filtration debris, dirt,  viruses, and bacteria can be spread throughout the home. Furthermore, the lack of a proper filter will cause your indoor air quality to be poor so it is very important to have a quality filter placed within your air conditioning system.

 What are the types of filters?

• Disposable fiberglass: ” Created from 1″-thick spun fiberglass, it does little more than prevent larger particles like dust, lint, and debris from gunking up your system. 

Pros: Very inexpensive, good for renters and those without allergies or asthma

Cons: Has little to no effect on cleaning the air

• Pleated Filters:  pleated filters are capable of filtering up to 50% of airborne impurities. Although pleated filters are moderately priced they have the capability of lasting up to 90 days.These filters are typically made from a specially made paper or fiber that is mounted into a frame with approximate 1 inch pleats.

Pros: Can remove some small particles like spores and mites

• Electrostatic Filters: Electrostatic filters use static electricity to filter particulates from the air. These filters contain self-charging cotton fibers that attract particles. Permanent options have  a removable, machine-washable filter that can be removed and reused for six to eight years. 
  
  
  Pros: Little waste, more effective than pleated; a good option if you use a popular size

• Hepa Filters: Hepa filters are 99.97 % dust spot efficient by the old ASHRAE Standard 52.1.   They are for particles smaller than .30 microns( bacteria and large virus).

 Indoor Air Quality and Air Filters.

 Choosing the right filter is vital for improving indoor air quality. Using a quality pleated filter, electrostatic filter, or HEPA filter will help maintain a lower particulate parts per million in your indoor air. For individuals with allergies a disposable fiberglass filter will not be the best choice since fiberglass filters are just made to filter large particles. HEPA filters would be the best choice for people with allergies since this particular filter has the filtration capacity of .30 µ(microns)  and 99.97% dust spot efficiency. In addition, maintaining your system and changing your filters regularly will improve your system's efficiency and indoor air quality while keeping vital system components inside your air handler clean and debris free.

Air Conditioning Maintenance and Cleaning

Air-Conditioning Maintenance and Cleaning Tips for Optimal Efficiency

 Air conditioning maintenance and cleaning is very important to maintain a properly operating HVAC system. An Hvac system has several components that must be regularly maintained so that the system may perform at its rated capacity. AC system maintenance is important during hot summer days to help cool down the indoor living space and this provides a level of comfort to inhabitants. If an AC system is not routinely maintained the system may cause problems.

 Symptoms of a Poorly Maintained Air Conditioning System

•  Higher electric bills
•  System cycling on and off
•  HVAC system not cooling to set temperature
•  Hot and cold spots

 When properly maintained the AC system will provide comfort and years of carefree operation to the owner but yearly checkups and system maintenance must be performed.

 HVAC System Maintenance

•  Evaporator coil cleaning and condenser coil cleaning
•  HVAC operating refrigerant charge check
•  HVAC electrical component check
•  Air duct cleaning and Blower motor cleaning
•  Airflow check
•  Air duct inspection

 A properly maintained air conditioning system will provide efficient use of energy resulting in lower electric bills and faster conditioning of the indoor air. Finding a contractor that will provide an affordable maintenance program for your system and budget will make all the difference when hot weather comes to your town.

What Can Cause My Dryer Vent To Become Clogged?

As the owner and operator of  AAA Duct Cleaning a lot of homeowners ask me about their dryer vent issues. One of those issues or questions is what could possibly cause my dryer vent to become blocked. My response is usually it could be a number of different things that can cause the dryer to not work properly and the dryer vent to become blocked.

Possible causes for a dryer vent blockage:

•  Birds nest: a bird may have nested in the dryer vent causing a complete blockage of the dryer vent exhaust.

• Lack of maintenance: a dryer vent that has never been cleaned will accumulate enough lint to cause a blockage of the dryer vent exhaust.

•  A deceased rodent: a rodent that has gotten stuck in the dryer vent will completely block the dryer vent exhaust causing your dryer not to work properly.

•  A broken or bent dryer vent: a broken or bent dryer vent may accumulate enough lint in the area of the break or bend and cause a complete blockage of the dryer vent exhaust.

•  Extremely long  dryer vent: a very long run of dryer vent exhaust piping needs to be maintained on a regular basis since the lint has such a long way to travel to exit the dryer vent. If not maintained on a regular basis a complete blockage can occur.

 Signs that the dryer vent exhaust is clogged:

•  Dryers will not work properly and frequently well ruin heating elements and blow thermal fuses within the appliance resulting in costly repairs.

•  Condensation or water spots on ceilings or water backing up into the transition duct.

• Humid laundry areas resulting from poor removal of condensation and heat.

 Prevention:

 Having your dryer vent inspected and cleaned annually will prevent costly appliance repairs, possible fire hazards, and higher electric bills. Contacting a professional dryer vent cleaning company that has the expertise and equipment to clean your dryer vent thoroughly will save the homeowner money and will give them peace of mind that their appliance will work regularly.

Health and Air Duct Cleaning The Correlation: Scenerio

There's been a debate about the correlation between air duct cleaning and health. The EPA currently states that there is no proof that having the air duct system cleaned improves inhabitants health. Although there have been no case-by-case studies involving individuals with allergies to specific things such as dust mites, insects, or pet hair. So for this article I will write a scenario about individuals that may be allergic to one of the above mentioned allergy triggers.

Scenario:

Robert and his wife have just bought a home and begin to see changes in their health such as sneezing, itchy eyes, and respiratory issues. Robert decides to call a carpet cleaning company to clean the carpets and rid his home of allergens. The carpet cleaning goes well and Robert thinks everything is going to be fine. A couple of days pass and the previous symptoms persist and so Roberts wife suggests to have the air ducts cleaned. A professional air duct cleaning company comes to Roberts home and reveals that Robert has an accumulation of dust and pet dander in the ducts and air handler. This professional  air duct cleaning company uses agitation to remove the dirt and dander from the ducts.  The technician recommends a UV purification light to help sterilize the air to help kill any germs and viruses that may recirculate through the duct system during normal operation. Robert reluctantly agrees to install a UV purification system on top of the air duct cleaning. The technician also recommends purchasing a better air filter that will filter particles more efficiently. the technician suggests a pleated filter with a merv rating of 6 to 13 for 13 being the best. After completing the cleaning and assessing the technician leaves and a week passes and the symptoms have gone.

 This is just a scenario that could possibly happen or be happening to some homeowners. Pet dander and debris can all be allergy triggers but with proper air duct cleaning techniques and procedures the homeowner can rest assured that their health will be restored.

Carpet Cleaning Benefits- AAA DUCT CLEANING

 Your carpet is basically a sponge that absorbs and holds mostly anything that it comes into contact with. Dirt, stains, and  odors can all attach  to your carpet. In this article I want to shed light on the benefits of getting your carpet cleaned by a professional.

  Carpets go through the rigorous traffic of our homes. They are stepped on by animals and humans alike,  but the question is are carpets safe and do dirty carpets affect my homes indoor air quality? I really don't have the answer for that but we can simulate in our  imaginations what it's like to be a carpet. 

For example,  a family of four with the dog traversing on a carpet for year or more will in most cases manifest high traffic stains, pet odors, pet stains, and an overall abused look. We can all imagine a child coming indoors from playing outside. the child's shoes and clothing may discard debris and other allergens throughout the carpet. Visualize a potty trained dog that just couldn't make it to the doggie door that moment. Urine has now penetrated the carpet and has caused a slight odor. As you can see our carpet has gone through a lot in the past year. So, built-up debris and allergens may cause issues with indoor air quality. 

 The benefits of having professionally cleaned carpets are as follows:

•  High traffic stain removal
•  Pet stain removal
•  Pet odor removal
•  Dust mite reduction
•  Allergen and debris removal
•  The rejuvenation of the carpet itself

 The cost of carpet cleaning is small compared to the benefits gained from a professional carpet cleaning. for as low as $25 a room a homeowner can have their whole house professionally steam cleaned without breaking the bank and gaining all the benefits of quality indoor air and a clean new looking carpet.
