It is the blah time of winter. We have all had either frigid below zero temperatures, or repeated feet of snow, or for those of us who are really unlucky, both! Cabin fever is setting in and our indoor air quality is probably at its worst level of the year. We cannot open windows to air out our homes. We cannot run the air conditioners. So we run the heat and keep recycling the nasty air we have been living with since way before the holidays.
Indoor air quality is a conglomeration of many things. It is pet dander and tobacco smoke. Even if you only smoke outdoors or do not smoke at all, you pick up the scent throughout the day. Did you know that light colored cats trigger fewer allergens than darker colored cats? Another factor is aerosolized household cleaners. It is dust mites and dust and a hundred other things. Inefficient vacuum cleaners can exhaust dust back into the air and surfaces they are supposed to be cleaning. When you dust, use a microfiber cloth. It will pick up and remove dust, dander etc. rather than just moving it around.
Hang in there, Spring is only a week away and the cold weather should be leaving us soon.
While you are outdoors enjoying Spring, call Custom Maid at 499-8568 to clean the inside of your home. It is definitely Spring cleaning time. You may want to hire our professional cleaning technicians just once to do a detailed top to bottom cleaning. You may decide to hire us on a weekly or bi-weekly basis so you can spend more leisure time enjoying the great outdoors.
