Filters for your Furnace
By · CommentsKeep the air filters clean. A new home may require more frequent filter attention until dust from construction is removed.Important: Do not operate the furnace without filters. Dust entrained with the air can lodge in the blower wheel, in the cooling coil fins, in furnace controls, in air ducts, and at the supply registers. Any recirculated dust particles are heated and charred by contact with the heat exchanger. This residue soils ceilings, walls, drapes, carpets, and other household articles. So it’s very important to ALWAYS HAVE A CLEAN FILTER. Also get furnace and air ducts cleaned by a professional to prolong the life of furnace.

Mohawk Industries — Cleaning Recommendations
By · CommentsEven with regular vacuuming, soil particles and oily dirt will cling to the carpet fibers. With foot traffic these particles and oily dirt are driven deep into the carpet. We recommend professional hot water extraction every 12 to 18 months using cleaning products, equipment or systems that carry the Carpet & Rug Institute Seal of Approval. Periodic cleaning using the hot water extraction method performed by a certified carpet care professional, will refresh carpet appearance.
The most used areas, such as entrances, doorways, traffic lanes, and in front of chairs will collect dirt faster than other areas. Clean these areas as they begin to show soil. This will stop dirt from spreading and will extend the time between professional cleaning

Shaw Flooring – Warranty
By · CommentsShaw warranties require that the homeowner be able to show proof of periodic cleaning by hot water extraction (commonly called “steam” cleaning) by a professional cleaning service. Hot water extraction research indicates that the hot water extraction system provides the best capability for cleaning. This system is commonly referred to as “steam cleaning,” although no steam is actually generated. This is done from a truck-mounted unit outside the home with only the hose and wand brought inside.
Dirt, dust and other pollutants can be trapped in your air duct system. This can be accumulated into a buildup that will be blown into your home whenever you run your heater or air conditioner. A professional air duct cleaner can remove all of these harmful elements and give you peace of mind when running your heater this winter.
Should I clean my Air Ducts?
By · CommentsYou should consider cleaning your duct in your home if:
- There is visible mold growth inside hard surface ( sheet metal, etc..) ducts or on other components of your heating and cooling system.
- Ducts are infested with rodents or insect
- Ducts are clogged with excessive amounts of dust and debris and/or particles( which actually release into the home from your supply registers)
Air Duct FAQ: Is the air duct cleaning process messy?
By · CommentsAbsolutely not. All of our vacuum equipment is HEPA-filtered to 99.97% so the dirt stays in the machine and out of your home. Our procedures are designed to protect your home and furnishings from dust/dirt and we always leave the home cleaner then when we arrived.
