Keeping Your Home Healthy

Written by : Posted on June 11, 2012 : No Comments

At Buddy Allen Carpet One, we believe that healthy living should start at home. A clean, healthy home doesn’t mean scrubbing every surface daily- who has time for that?! We have compiled a list of simple, easy-to-do tips to help your home stay healthy and happy!

Put Your “Clean” Foot Forward- Most of the dust and dirt in your home comes from the bottom of your shoes. You track in things like food crumbs and animal hair every time you walk in the door. An abrasive doormat made with strong, synthetic fibers can significantly reduce the amount of grime and allergens that enter through your front door. It is important to vacuum your doormat regularly. Scrubbing with soap and hot water monthly can kill those pesky germs!

Wash Your Dishes & Your Germs- One of the leading causes of bacteria in your home is found in your kitchen. Your damp dish rags can be riddled with E. coli and salmonella. It is important to always let your dish towels dry completely and use a fresh one each day. Disposable towels are great for cleaning up those accidental spills.

Put Dust to Bed- Allergen producing dust mites love living in your bed. Wash your bedding weekly in hot water to kill those uninvited guests! It is also important to wipe down your headboard, foot-board, and bed frame bi-weekly to remove dust and dirt  – don’t forget the nooks and crannies.

Don’t forget about our Healthier Living Flooring Installation System when you purchase new flooring! Allergens and bacteria can take up residence underneath your existing floor coverings. Our revolutionary Healthier Living Flooring Installation System features an antimicrobial pre-installation treatment that disinfects your existing flooring pads and protects against the build-up of mold, mildew, and bacteria. Our system also includes HEPA vacuuming before & after installation, as well as antimicrobial carpet cushions and exclusive warranties.
