Eco-Friendly Dry Cleaning: What It Is and Why It Matters

Image
  Dry-cleaning has been used for long for fine fabrics, special occasion wear, and for something really special. But behind that immaculate appearance usually lies a process that is anything but tidy, at least environmentally. The dry cleaning industry tends to rely on conventional solvents that encompass a plethora of hazardous chemicals, perchloroethylene (or perc) being the chief of them, which have been suspected of contaminating air and water bodies and carrying alleged health risks in the long run. The good part is that green dry cleaning has been catching up tremendously as the smart safe alternative. Why is it "green"? While the traditional methods are kind to the fabrics as well as to operators, green dry cleaning uses organic solvents that are not only biodegradable but also free from toxins. These solvents degrade into totally harmless deposits. And for green dry cleaning, machines are designed to operate in a manner that conserves energy and water, thus further pr...

Why a Clean Kitchen Is Essential for a Healthy Home

Image
  A clean kitchen isn't only about cleaning stuff to make it look clean; it's the start of a healthy home. It’s where food is cooked, where food is kept and where memories are made with family and friends. But it’s also where grease, water, food debris and bacteria quietly accumulate.” Left to their own devices, these issues have the power to compromise not only the cleanliness of your kitchen but also the safety of your home.  While the surface swiftness of countertops might be appealing, the truth is that most kitchen hazards are out of sight. Sinks, cabinet handles, exhaust fans, stovetops, and tile grout tend to be where germs, mold, and grime like to hide out of sight. They are bacteria breeding grounds that cross-contaminate food and surfaces unless they're deep-cleaned regularly on a routine basis. Cross-contamination from the kitchen is the #1 cause of illness in homes. Raw food—this includes meat and seafood, which have bacteria on it, like salmonella or E.coli. Un...

How Sofa Cleaning Can Help Reduce Allergies and Improve Air Quality

Image
  We typically can picture sofas as the focal point of relaxation in our own living rooms, where we withdraw for dozy afternoons, night-in movies, and family arguments. But not many individuals are aware that under all the pillows and stylish upholstery is a dirty realm of dust mites, pollen, and other allergens that quietly accumulate over time. And even if you believe a well-groomed couch is clean, what's beneath may be poison to your body. Couches and sofas are a hot spot for dust mites, pet dander, pollen, bacteria, mold spores, and food particles. These minuscule invaders don’t just remain on the fabric; they penetrate deep into the fibers, which can lead to conduits for poor indoor air quality. As we sit, move, or plop down on the couch, these particles are then released into the air, leading to allergic reactions, asthma flare-ups, and respiratory irritation. Frequent vacuuming makes it easier to control the dirt at the surface, but it never goes deeper to eliminate the actu...
