Top 7 Benefits of Spring Cleaning

Spring is a great time to do a deep clean on your house for carpets, air ducts, windows and much more, but don’t forget the small stuff!

1. Experience less stress and better health. Clutter is stressful and weighs on your mind, organize it and relax.

2. Get creative. When you get tired of the same layout of certain rooms now is the chance to redecorate and redesign.
3. Feel good by doing good. When you get together the items you don’t need, donate them. It’s a win-win situation!
4. Get a fresh start. Don’t hold on to those “sentimental” items when they aren’t useful. Hold on to what is useful today.

5. Save time. Stop wasting your time looking for stuff. True organization can save you from running around day to day looking for your stuff.
6. Add to your home’s value. Add storage space to your house and it will appeal to potential home buyers when you go to sell your home.

7. Enjoy a sense of accomplishment. Spring cleaning always has a big payoff, reward yourself with something nice.

Why Clean Your Air Ducts?

Why Clean Your Air Ducts?

• Most people spend 60-90% of their time indoors and 50% of illnesses are caused or aggravated by polluted indoor air.
• Children are more affected by polluted air because they breathe faster and are closer to the ground where concentration of pollutants is higher.
• One out of six people who suffer from allergies do so because of fungi and bacteria in their air duct system
• The average six room house produces 40 pounds of dust every year.
• Air pollutants can cause lung disease.
• The EPA reports that poor indoor air quality is among the Top 5 environmental risks to public health.
  
  How Often Should We Clean Our Ducts?
  Frequency depends on the factors in your home:

• Do you smoke?
• Do you have pets? Do they shed?
• Anyone in the house have asthma or allergies?
• Did you remodel your home?
• Did you just purchase your home?

Chances are if you just moved in, the air ducts have never been cleaned. Good rule of thumb is to clean every 3 to 5 years.
