Ten Steps For Improving Your Indoors

While many people are aware that outdoor air pollution can damage their health, a significant number do not realize indoor environmental quality (IEQ) can be more harmful. EPA studies indicate that indoor air levels of many pollutants may be two to five times, and occasionally, more than 100 times higher than outdoor levels. Most people spend as much as 90 percent of their time indoors.

Tips For Keeping Your Furniture Clean

To keep your furniture clean, its necessary to conduct routine maintenance, including periodic cleaning by a certified technician every 12 to 24 months. Furniture and fabric manufacturers recommend that consumers not wait until sever soiling occurs before cleaning because the greater the soiling, the less the likelihood of restoring the fabric’s original color, appearance, and texture, and the greater adverse effect on indoor environmental quality.

The Truth About Mold

Mold becomes a problem inside a home when there’s excessive humidity or moisture. The problem can originate from sudden water releases, like a burst pipe or large spill, or a chronic condition such as a leaking roof or plumbing. Even high humidity or warm, moist air condensing on cool surfaces can trigger mold problems. It’s always best to have the mold assessed and removed by a certified professional.
