Lavender Care

 Home Sweet home! It is the one place where we can be entirely ourselves. The one place that offers us loads of comfort! Of course homes, just like everything else, come in different sizes. But, whatever the size of the house, it requires cleaning of course! Houses that are situated along the shore line bring in a lot of moisture and tiny sand particles that get settled all over the house in layers. You may clean the house all you want in the morning, but, by evening, the condition is again the same. In such kinds of atmospheres, especially, you need to make sure that you are protecting the electronic gadgets as much as you can. Always make sure that they are covered or are placed in the backward rooms, where the treacherous air cannot penetrate! But, what about your air ducts? All of us are quite familiar with the heating and cooling systems that we use. Owing to the extreme vagaries of the temperatures in our part of the world, we have the weather to be either too hot or too cold...

 There are plenty of crooks out there and they will either do a quick, shoddy job, or often not clean the system at all. These companies will often use extremely cheap pricing to get the appointment, but upon arrival will increase the price dramatically because of options that they say were not included or that are suddenly needed. Some customers have needed to have their HVAC systems re-cleaned because a company, with a small portable vacuum did not clean properly or in some cases did not clean at all. One such company used an extremely low price to get the sale and upon arrival increased the price five times the original quote. They then proceeded to clean two easily seen areas, but did not clean the majority of the HVAC system. The customer stated that she became suspicious when the employee spent most of their time trying to sell her on more options, than actual time cleaning. Fortunately, they had paid with a credit card and did a card dispute to get the charges reversed. Many...

 This time of year can be a real busy time for air duct cleaners. With the heat coming on people like to get their ducts cleaned out. Ventilation system cleaning is a great service that people can benefit from. What is more important than your health? Cleaning the heating/cooling system is one of the best things you can do to improve your indoor air quality. A healthy home for your family is something we could all use. Cleaning your ventilation system is something you really need to hire a professional to do properly. Industrial strength equipment and professional training are required to do a quality job. This is not one of the jobs that you can do yourself. A hand vacuum or a shop vacuum won't get the job done. An improper job can actually make your home more unhealthy. This can happen because if you loosen up the dirt in the air ducts and don't remove what you have loosened up the dirt has to go somewhere. That somewhere is probably in your home. So do hire a professional. S...

 Protecting the safety and integrity of their home, and therefore their family in it, should be at the top of every homeowner's priority list. There are many ways that homeowners protect their homes, from installing complicated locks and sophisticated alarm systems, to ensuring their smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are working, to putting interior lights on timers to give the appearance of someone being at home. All of these are important steps in keeping the home and family safe, but they only address certain dangers. There are dangers within the home that pose a serious threat to the house and the family, but are often overlooked. One of the most ignored is clogged dryer vents. If you have a clothes dryer in your home, you have dryer vents. These are the tunnels through which the heated air, lint and other particles are brought out of the dryer and out of the home during a drying cycle. This is critical for the operation and safety of the dryer. Unfortunately, if not properly...
