Who's Crawling on Who?

Did You Know We Clean Air Ducts?

Have you ever given a thought to what is inside the air ducts of your home? Our air ducts are certainly out of sight and therefore out of mind, but all the air in our homes travels through these spaces 3 to 4 times an hour on average. It stands to reason that the condition of our air ducts can and will have an effect on the quality of the air we breathe and our quality of life.

The picture is not meant to scare anyone. We all live in blissful ignorance about the contaminants in our homes but it is helpful to know that we can take steps to limit our exposure to many of them. It would be unthinkable not to wash our dishes after using them or our clothes after we wear them. Do you know that the carpets our kids and grandkids are crawling and playing on are cleaned only every 18 months on average, and that most people never clean the air ducts in their homes? Our carpets and air ducts are exposed to all the same contaminants (and worse) that our other washables are but we tend to let them go because they don’t look bad.

Air duct cleaning, like carpet cleaning, removes those contaminants. Those include every day soil and dust, but also dust mites and their waste, molds, germs, and the innumerable pollutants travelling through the air. It is not possible to live in a contaminant free environment, but as your healthy home partner, we certainly want to offer our clients the opportunity to live in the cleanest, healthiest environment possible. Regular carpet cleaning (at least once a year), and periodic air duct cleaning (every 3-5 years) are important parts of creating and maintaining that healthy home for your family.

The cleaning services we offer are certainly about what you can see, as we leave your home sparkling clean. We are equally concerned though about cleaning what you cannot see because we know you and your family deserve the cleanest, healthiest home possible.
