At Fresh Aircon Services, we are all about creating comfort in people’s homes and workspaces. An essential part of home comfort is home health. Yes, aircon cleaning for your Newcastle property is part of that, but we have put together a holistic list of suggestions to help you achieve optimal home health. Let’s get healthy!
Peacefully Pure Green
Add more green to your home. As we spend 80-95% of our time indoors, managing indoor air pollution is vital. Add calming, air-purifying plants to our interior, like the portulacaria afra succulent. It absorbs 1 thousand kilograms of C02 per square kilometre of plant per annum and stores CO2 super efficiently overnight.
Leave The Outdoors Outdoors
Your shoe soles traipse in smearings of chemicals, organisms, oil and dirt from your travels outside. Take your outdoor shoes off as you enter the home and have indoor shoes waiting for you at the front door. Use a basket, shelf or cupboard to store your indoor shoe options.
Deep Clean Rugs & Carpets
A well-cleaned rug or carpet lasts exponentially longer, so it makes good financial sense to clean them regularly. Vacuuming is helpful, but it’s not the total solution. A deep clean twice a year will keep your carpets looking great, remove dirt and organisms and extend the lifespan. You can hire a professional (who has environmentally friendly soaps) or hire a machine to do it yourself.
Pure Water
Nothing beats purified water at the point of serving it. Instead of buying bottles of water and raising your carbon footprint, filter your water at home. You can filter one jug, one tap, one room or your whole house.
Pure Air
If you have ducted air conditioning, have your ducts cleaned every three months and inspected for insects, mould, etc. At the same time, ask for the filter replacement to be done and once a year, whether ducted, split unit or window units. The filter replacement every quarter (at the latest) is vital for healthy air.
Managing Mould
Mould in your home is a big no-no, and a number of homeowners do not realise how dangerous it is. Conditions such as allergies, severe respiratory infections and brain infestations are all attributed to mould.
Leave your bathroom extractor fan on for at least an hour after showering and open the window. Add a dehumidifier in the bathroom or any room that is problematic. Reseal all your tile grout lines annually and clean your tumble dryer filter quarterly.
Be Naturally Clean
While protein-solvent cleaners (supermarket brands) give instant cleans, try natural, homemade options that are healthier for you and the planet. Research alternative cleaning product recipes and add aromatherapy oils for scent.
Don’t rely on bleach for cleaning, as it fast becomes ineffective when dirt is present. You need to clean first and then disinfect with bleach, if necessary. Never mix bleach with other cleaners, as it can release potent chlorine gas.
The Health Conclusion
We’re always here to help make your home a healthy hub and with these simple steps, you can have a home bristling with healthy vibes! Book your aircon cleaning in Newcastle today!
