Deep cleaning floors in Sydney

Why deep cleaning your Sydney home can save you thousands

/0 Comments/in Cleaning, Covid-19 Cleaning /by

Deep cleaning isn’t just about a sparkling home—it’s a financial shield for your biggest asset. In Sydney, where 65% humidity fuels mould and dust, and 24% of residents battle allergies (per Allergy & Anaphylaxis Australia), skipping a thorough clean can cost you thousands in repairs and health bills. With 39 years of expertise and over 80,000 cleans, 1800 CLEANER delivers a deep cleaning service that removes 97% of fine dust particles, tackling the dust-drop effect with their 21-Point Spring Clean and EcoHarmony™ sprays, which cut chemical use by 20%. From preventing mould to protecting property value, this blog reveals three must-know ways a deep cleaning service saves you money, backed by Sydney stories, science, and a practical checklist to keep your home thriving.

The hidden costs of surface cleaning

Surface cleaning might make your Sydney home look tidy, but it misses deep-seated grime that silently racks up costs. In a city with 65% humidity, dust mites, mould, and pollen thrive, triggering allergies for 24% of locals. The dust-drop effect—where fine particles, charged with static electricity, float for up to five days before resettling—means regular wiping or vacuuming often spreads dust rather than removes it. A 2024 Australian Bureau of Statistics report notes Aussies spend $500 annually on allergy treatments, much of which could be avoided. Hidden grime behind appliances or in bathroom grout can lead to pest infestations or structural damage, costing thousands. 1800 CLEANER’s 21-point spring clean, with HEPA vacuums and ionisers, removes 97% of dust down to 30 microns, ensuring your home stays truly clean and cost-free.

Preventative maintenance savings

Mould, pests, and damaged grout can turn small cleaning oversights into massive repair bills. A 2023 University of Sydney study estimates mould remediation in Sydney homes averages $2,000. Emma from Bondi faced this when neglected bathroom tiles led to mould growth. She booked 1800 CLEANER’s 21-point spring clean, which uses negative ionisers to clump and remove 97% of dust particles, neutralizing the dust-drop effect. “The clean saved me from a huge repair bill,” Emma shared. EcoHarmony™ sprays, cutting chemical use by 20%, prevented further mould in her humid Bondi flat. By tackling hidden dirt in carpets, vents, and behind appliances, a deep cleaning service stops issues before they start, saving thousands in suburbs like Coogee or Randwick.

Property value protection

Your Sydney home is a major investment, and grime can erode its value. A 2024 University of New South Wales study found well-maintained homes retain up to 5% higher market value. Dust and mould in carpets or bathroom tiles can age surfaces prematurely, deterring buyers or tenants. Tom from Manly, planning to rent his flat, booked 1800 CLEANER’s spring cleaning. The 21-point clean removed 97% of fine dust, tackling the dust-drop effect to keep surfaces pristine. “My flat rented out faster than expected,” Tom noted. By protecting floors, fixtures, and air quality, a deep cleaning service ensures your home shines in Sydney’s competitive market, potentially saving thousands in lost value.

Step-by-step deep cleaning checklist

Keep your home protected with this Sydney-specific checklist for a thorough deep cleaning service:

  • Carpets & rugs: Vacuum with a HEPA filter weekly; shampoo annually to prevent fibre damage.
  • Behind appliances: Clean fridges and ovens to stop pest-attracting grease buildup.
  • Bathroom tiles & grout: Scrub with non-toxic cleaners to block mould in humid conditions.
  • Air vents & filters: Replace or clean air-con filters quarterly to prevent dust recirculation.
  • Windows & sills: Wipe with microfiber cloths to remove grit and protect finishes.

💡 Downloadable tip: Print this checklist and stick it on your fridge to track your progress.

DIY vs. professional deep cleaning

Wondering if you can DIY or need pros? DIY suits minor upkeep, like wiping surfaces, but requires a HEPA vacuum and hours of effort. Hidden mould or post-reno dust demands professional deep cleaning service. 1800 CLEANER’s 21-point spring clean, removing 97% of dust and neutralizing the dust-drop effect, saves time with industrial tools. Tanzim from Coogee raved: “They cleaned our dusty attic in one day.” DIY might cost $50 in supplies but risks missing grime, while a $200 professional clean prevents $3,500 in annual costs. For Sydney’s humid homes, pros are the smarter choice.

💡 ROI calculator: A $200 deep clean twice yearly ($400/year) prevents $2,000 mould remediation, $500 allergy treatments, and $1,000 property damage—saving $3,500 annually.

Pro tips for deep cleaning

Maximize your clean with these industry hacks:

  • Vacuum first: Use a HEPA vacuum to trap fine dust before wiping.
  • Microfiber cloths: They capture more dust, reducing the dust-drop effect.
  • Top-to-bottom: Clean ceilings, walls, then floors to avoid re-dusting.
  • Eco-friendly sprays: 1800 CLEANER’s EcoHarmony™ sprays cut chemical use by 20%, safe for allergies.
  • Seal off rooms: Close doors to prevent dust spreading during cleaning.

Sydney cleaners: how to choose the best option

/0 Comments/in Cleaning, Covid-19 Cleaning, Dust Allergy Tips, Dust-free homes, Healthy Living, Podcasts, Sydney lifestyle /by

Finding a solid work team of Sydney cleaners to entrust with the cleaning and maintenance of your home can take a long time. Sometimes it can take years of fruitless searching until we find the right one that satisfies our needs. But if we can’t, we must take a deeper look and often confront our own expectations. The vibrant city of Sydney offers a wide variety of cleaning services, and indeed, there’s one that will meet your needs. The question is, what is a fair criteria to help choose them?

 

The most common reasons for having yet to establish a lasting relationship with a cleaning company are as follows;

  • The quality of cleaning services is inconsistent, and the performance of different and constantly changing workers may vary significantly. The cleaners’ training process is critical to achieving the same level of work and avoiding this type of inconsistency when providing the service. The well-being of the cleaners is even more crucial in ensuring a long-term placement and a years-long cleaning relationship.
  • Some of the most common customer complaints involve cleaners who arrive late, do not appear on the day of service, and perform tasks too quickly and carelessly.
  • Another complaint is that they use mops and cleaning equipment from one house to another throughout the day, causing cross-contamination and hygiene issues.
  • Although the quality of the cleaning company may be excellent, due to its lack of online exposure through reviews and word of mouth, its visibility makes it difficult to find online. So always ask friends and neighbours for recommendations. Some of the best cleaning companies have the smallest online marketing budgets.
  • Pricing is one of the factors that helps us a lot to define the quality of a company, albeit imperfectly. The balance between the quality of the service provided and the price can vary significantly depending on the company. Hence, search for those offering a guarantee based on a set and defined service list. The company may offer services at a low price, but its quality differs from the optimal one we seek. Sadly, it’s hard to achieve high quality at a low price – period.
  • Lack of communication or misunderstandings between the client and the staff about the tasks to be performed, special requests, or expectations can be a determining factor in being disappointed with the services of a cleaning company in Sydney. So, always work from a list that catalogues your expectations precisely.

With 1800 CLEANER, we have long provided cleaning services to discerning Sydney clients. We would like to share with you the secrets we have learned over the last 35 years about choosing the ideal cleaning company in Sydney that meets your requirements.

Assess your cleaning needs

  • Define what type of cleaning services best suit your needs. At 1800 CLEANER, we provide a wide and complete variety of services, including spring cleaning, end-of-lease cleaning, builder’s cleaning, regular cleaning, window cleaning, and carpet cleaning, among others; we also offer custom cleaning according to your particular needs. The key is the job list. We only ever clean with one.
  • What size and type of house do you live in? Each home is particular, and each environment may require special attention according to its use.
  • How often do you need a cleaner to visit? Some homes require an excellent annual deep clean, while others with a more active rhythm require a regular cleaning service. The critical thing to consider is how to eliminate the fine particle dust that traditional cleaning approaches tend to circulate rather than remove.
  • If environmental impact is essential, choose a cleaning company that works with eco-friendly products and practices.
  • Spend the time to research reliable cleaning companies.

Choose the right Sydney cleaner for your home

Finding a Sydney cleaning company that meets all the job requirements takes work, and we recommend you:

  • Read Google reviews and consult local forums and groups that can provide true opinions from authentic and unbiased clients. Be wary of bot reviews and always search for their worst reviews first, as they are bound to be true ones.
  • Experience is essential: companies with extensive experience in the field will guarantee a more efficient and precise service.
  • View the cleaning company’s insurance documentation to ensure that you’re covered in the case of damage or accidents during the cleaning service.

Son with dust allergy – Client case study, Cindy. Double Bay.

Pricing and customer service

  • Communication is fundamental when acquiring a cleaning service. A big issue is when clients expect cleaners to “intuit” their needs. Like a good marriage, we need to define precisely what we expect. Customer service should be easy to reach, straightforward and willing to resolve any questions or concerns. However, avoid creating urgency with last-minute requests, which are bound to fail, add stress and aggravation to the relationship, and initiate the alienation process. Always communicate from a settled position with space for the cleaners to respond in a considered and non-rushed fashion
  • Ensure that the company provides transparent prices according to the type of service you purchase through a detailed and transparent job list and written quote. Remember that the cheapest options will only sometimes work out, provided you have low expectations. Lofty intentions are great, but it’s the quality and consistency of the service experience that counts.

Why choose 1800 CLEANER as your Sydney cleaning company for excellence?

Like everything, quality and customer service excellence require consistent and determined improvement over time. So, the time spent in business is another key indicator. At 1800 CLEANER, we work hard to always keep our brilliant cleaners with the highest level of training and ability to perform service efficiently and reliably. We are fortunate to have a solid team with considerable experience we can trust. Our boss works side by side with us to provide a service that goes beyond conventional cleaning standards. As a company, we strive every day to ensure that our clients are properly cared for, as our online reviews attest.

We are a company with more than 35 years of experience in the field. We have the best equipment to clean your indoor environment rigorously. A strictly trained team complements this to deliver spectacular service and an energetically healthy and clean environment.

At 1800 CLEANER, we do not clean houses conventionally. We take care of your health through strict use of non-toxic products. And we are committed to reducing 97% of the micro-dust found in your environment. In this way, we contribute to increasing the quality of the air you breathe inside your home, obtaining notable results and distinguishing ourselves from traditional cleaning companies.

Conclusion

Working for 1800 CLEANER gives me excellent security to have the safest and highest-quality equipment to carry out my tasks. Cleaning houses every week increases my efficiency and experience in meeting the demands of my wonderful clients. I love the feeling that they entrust their homes to my hands to make them a space that is enjoyable, welcoming, and renewed every time I visit them.

At the end of the day, our home is our refuge from the outside world. Few things are more wonderful than arriving after an active day to a clean, tidy place, which transmits the relaxation and repose we seek.

I strongly recommend that you try our services: from the first approach through our exceptional customer service to the day we enter your home, you will be happy having chosen our service.

Spring cleaning service

Get ready for spring: Sydney’s premier non-toxic spring clean service

/0 Comments/in Cleaning, Covid-19 Cleaning, Dust Allergy Tips, Dust-free homes, Healthy Living, Podcasts, Sydney lifestyle /by

With spring just around the corner, now is the perfect time to consider and pre-book one of our magnificent, non-toxic spring cleaning services. An annual spring clean will benefit your home and health and give you peace of mind.

Along with dust removal, one of the primary benefits of an annual spring clean is the opportunity to declutter and organise your living space. Over a year, unnecessary items accumulate, and your home can feel stagnant. By undertaking a thorough spring clean, you can rid your home of dust and clutter, creating a more open, welcoming environment for you and your family to enjoy.

A deep clean also contributes to a healthier living environment. Dust, allergens, and other pollutants can build up in our homes over time, negatively impacting indoor air quality and potentially exacerbating allergies, respiratory issues and general disease. Professional cleaning services can target these hidden contaminants, ensuring that your home is a haven of cleanliness and hygiene.

Furthermore, a spring clean can revitalise the appearance of your home, making it a more pleasant and inviting place to spend time and, thereby, positively impacting your mood. From sparkling windows to gleaming floors, a comprehensive clean can renew your living space’s “feel appeal” and target unseen areas, helping you enjoy your home even more.

Delegating cleaning and purification tasks when hiring cleaning services is a valuable option for people who are experiencing symptoms of depression, low interest, lack of motivation and fatigue. It can be a highly positive life decision since it radically changes and purifies a house’s energy, relieving you from the burden of these tasks.

What differentiates 1800 CLEANER spring cleans?

Our non-toxic spring cleans

When you choose 1800 CLEANER for your annual spring clean in Sydney, you’re not just getting a cleaner home; you’re also getting rid of the airborne micro-dust and air pollution traditional cleaners leave behind.

Our professional expertise, advanced equipment, scientifically developed methods, and eco-friendly cleaning products ensure exceptional results that may be difficult to achieve through DIY efforts. This gives you confidence in the cleanliness and hygiene of your home and peace of mind that you’re in good hands.

With over thirty-five years of experience in the cleaning industry, our founder, Michael Sweet, has developed two spring cleans to suit your needs and budget. His expertise and commitment to providing high-quality cleaning services ensure that when you choose 1800 CLEANER, you select a trusted and experienced partner for your annual spring clean.

1800 CLEANER 21-Point Spring Clean

Our founder developed the comprehensive 21-Point Spring clean to assist families who have a loved one suffering from dust and associated allergy symptoms, including asthma, eczema, hay fever, dust mite allergy, and other related conditions. Our spring cleaning services involve the removal of fine dust, pollens, mould spores and microscopic irritants down to 30 microns in size – particles as small as 1/30th the circumference of a human hair are captured and evicted from our customers’ homes.

We remove up to 97% of these particles with antibacterial air filters, HEPA equipment and an ioniser working in unison with a professional cleaning team using a scientific method and safe all-natural cleaning products. 

1800 CLEANER Mini-Spring clean

1800 CLEANER has also developed the Mini-Spring clean to remove fine dust particles in the house for customers on a budget. HEPA filters, an ioniser, and antibacterial filters work in unison with professional Spring cleaners for the entire clean. It involves comprehensive dusting, wiping, vacuuming, and mopping of the whole house, with particular attention given to the kitchen and bathrooms. This Mini-Spring clean creates a good base from which future cleaning efforts become more efficient and effective, with the vast majority of the microscopic dust particles extracted and countless dust mites evicted. From such a clean base and absent the “dust-drop” effect, the house stays cleaner for longer and remains easier to maintain.

 

The “dust drop effect”

The ‘dust drop effect’ is a concept coined by 1800 CLEANER that refers to dust’s tendency to circulate, float, accumulate and eventually settle in living spaces over time.

This phenomenon occurs as microscopic dust particles settle on various surfaces, including floors, furniture, and shelves, leading to a continuous cycle of dust accumulation. As a result, regular cleaning becomes increasingly challenging, and dust can contribute to poor indoor air quality and potential health issues. By understanding and addressing this effect, we aim to provide a more effective and long-lasting cleaning solution for your home.

1800 CLEANER understands the impact of the ‘dust drop effect’ on home cleanliness and hygiene. By employing scientific methods and advanced cleaning techniques, they aim to disrupt this cycle by targeting and removing fine dust particles, pollen, and other irritants, thereby creating a clean base from which future cleaning efforts become more efficient and effective.

This approach not only helps maintain a cleaner living environment for an extended period but also contributes to improved indoor air quality and the overall well-being of the occupants, giving you a sense of security about the effectiveness of our process.

Our additional services to add to your spring clean

Additional services offered by 1800 CLEANER go beyond standard cleaning and provide specialised attention to specific areas of your home, ensuring a comprehensive cleaning experience.

Carpet Cleaning

Carpet cleaning is a service offered by 1800 CLEANER to maintain a clean and healthy indoor environment.

The professional carpet cleaning services provided by 1800 CLEANER utilise advanced equipment and proven techniques to effectively remove embedded dirt and stains, resulting in fresh and revitalised carpets. By availing of this service, you can extend the lifespan of your carpets and contribute to a healthier indoor environment for your family.

Window cleaning

Window cleaning is another essential component of 1800 CLEANER’s additional services. Clean windows not only enhance the aesthetic appeal of your home but also allow more natural light to enter, creating a bright and cheerful atmosphere. 1800 CLEANER’s window cleaning services ensure streak-free and spotless windows, offering a clear view of the outside world while maximising the influx of natural light into your living spaces.

In essence, 1800 CLEANER’s additional services cater to specific cleaning needs within your home, providing specialised solutions to ensure a comprehensive and meticulous cleaning result.

Toxic mould at homes

Mould at home: How to get rid of it

/0 Comments/in Cleaning, Covid-19 Cleaning, Dust Allergy Tips, Dust-free homes, Healthy Living, Sydney lifestyle /by

Tackling mould for a healthier home

Humidity and mould inside your home can seriously harm your family’s health, especially in Sydney’s humid climate, where 20% of residents suffer from respiratory issues, per Asthma Australia. At 1800 CLEANER, we specialize in mould removal in Sydney, using our non-toxic mould cleaning methods to ensure healthy indoor air quality and a safer living environment. This article explores the causes of mould and moisture, their adverse health effects, and practical tips to manage and prevent their growth, helping you maintain a mould-free home. We’ll also highlight how structural, climatic, and behavioral factors contribute to mould proliferation, particularly in Australian homes. While completely eliminating mould is impossible due to its natural presence, our goal is effective mould management to minimize health risks. Let’s dive into creating a healthier, more comfortable space for you and your loved ones.

The growing concern of mould in Sydney homes

Mould is a common issue in Sydney homes due to the city’s humid climate, averaging 65% humidity, per the Bureau of Meteorology. This humidity fosters mould growth, especially in areas like bathrooms, kitchens, and basements, where moisture accumulates. For instance, a 2023 city survey found that 45% of Sydney residents reported indoor air quality issues, often linked to mould. Also, after the COVID-19 pandemic, Australians spent more time indoors, with 90% of their time inside, per a 2020 Australian Bureau of Statistics report. This sedentary lifestyle increased exposure to mould spores, heightening health risks. Mould appears as black stains on tile joints, bathroom walls, ceilings, glass surfaces, and cracks, making it a persistent problem. In Sydney, where 65% of homes have pets, per RSPCA NSW, pet-related moisture adds to the issue. Therefore, managing mould is crucial for a healthy home environment.

Why mould thrives: Understanding the causes

Mould growth in homes results from several factors, particularly in humid climates like Sydney’s. First, construction failures and poor-quality materials allow moisture to seep in. For example, leaky roofs or walls trap dampness. Also, inadequate home maintenance, such as broken pipes, contributes to mould. Insufficient ventilation and heating systems trap humid air, especially in bathrooms and kitchens. Poor indoor air quality, often due to lack of airflow, worsens the problem. Climatic factors like excessive rain and humidity, common in Sydney, create ideal conditions for mould. Rising damp and underground river systems add to moisture levels. Additionally, homes with little direct sunlight, especially in urban areas, struggle to dry out naturally. The behavior of occupants, such as not ventilating rooms, also plays a role. In Sydney, where 45% of residents reported air quality issues in 2023, per a city survey, these factors make mould a widespread concern.

Mould and your health: The immune system impact

Mould spores, though microscopic, have a significant impact on your immune system. In large numbers, these spores overwhelm your body’s defenses, leading to health issues. For instance, mould exposure can trigger asthma, affecting 1 in 9 Australians, one of the highest rates globally, per Asthma Australia. It also causes allergies, hypersensitivity pneumonitis, rhino-conjunctivitis, and other respiratory conditions in both children and adults. In Sydney, where 20% of residents have respiratory issues, mould is a major concern. Beyond physical effects, mould can lead to depressive symptoms, sadness, and even pain, as noted by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences. More subtle issues, like headaches, fatigue, itchy eyes, and runny noses, are also common. Therefore, managing mould levels, rather than obsessing over complete eradication, is key to protecting your immune system and maintaining overall well-being in your Sydney home.

The link between mould, humidity, and indoor air quality

High humidity in Australian homes, especially in Sydney, creates a breeding ground for mould. Humidity levels averaging 65%, per the Bureau of Meteorology, lead to excess condensation on surfaces like glass and bathroom walls. This moisture fosters mould growth, particularly in poorly ventilated areas. For example, basements and ceilings often lack natural airflow, trapping humid air. Opening windows on warm, humid days to cool rooms can worsen the problem by letting in moist air. Also, buildings not properly sealed or mechanically ventilated allow humidity to build up. After the COVID-19 pandemic, Sydneysiders spent 90% of their time indoors, per a 2020 Australian Bureau of Statistics report, increasing exposure to mould spores. Poor healthy indoor air quality exacerbates respiratory issues, with 45% of residents reporting air quality concerns in 2023, per a city survey. Addressing humidity is crucial to control mould and protect your health.

Adverse health effects of mould exposure

Mould exposure poses serious health risks, particularly in humid environments like Sydney. For instance, Australia has one of the highest asthma rates globally, with 1 in 9 Australians affected, per Asthma Australia. Mould spores, along with humidity and dust mites, trigger asthma symptoms, such as wheezing and shortness of breath. They also cause allergies, including rhino-conjunctivitis, leading to sneezing, itchy eyes, and runny noses. Additionally, mould exposure can result in hypersensitivity pneumonitis, a lung inflammation condition, especially in children. Beyond respiratory issues, mould contributes to mental health challenges like depression and sadness, as noted by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences. More subtle effects include headaches, fatigue, and skin irritations, which can disrupt daily life. In Sydney, where 20% of residents have respiratory issues, mould management is vital to reduce these adverse effects and ensure a healthier living environment for your family.

Effective strategies for managing house mould

Managing mould requires a proactive approach, as complete eradication is impossible due to its natural presence. First, clean all areas regularly with a HEPA-grade vacuum to capture tiny mould spores. For example, focus on bathrooms, kitchens, and basements, where moisture accumulates. Also, dust, wash, and wipe exposed surfaces with a damp cloth to prevent spore spread. Use natural cleaning products instead of bleach, which can be harmful and doesn’t fully kill mould. Ensure sufficient sunlight by opening curtains and blinds, as UV light inhibits mould growth. Keep exhaust fans on in bathrooms, kitchens, and basements to remove steam. Additionally, use moisture absorbers in closets and poorly ventilated areas. Always keep windows and cupboards clean and dry, as dampness fosters mould. Be mindful of leaks in pipes, indoor plants, and fish tanks, which add moisture. These strategies, combined with 1800 CLEANER’s mould removal in Sydney, help maintain a healthier home.

1800 CLEANER’s approach to mould removal

1800 CLEANER specializes in mould removal in Sydney, using advanced, non-toxic methods to ensure a safe, healthy home. Our highly trained team targets black mould stains in tile joints, bathroom corners, glass surfaces, and cracks, using specialized tools to eliminate visible and hidden mould. For instance, we employ HEPA-grade vacuums to capture microscopic spores, preventing their spread during cleaning. We also use ecoLove™ products, which are free from harmful chemicals like bleach, ensuring safety for your family and pets. Our non-toxic mould cleaning method not only removes mould but also addresses moisture sources to prevent regrowth. In Sydney, where 45% of residents reported air quality issues in 2023, per a city survey, our approach improves healthy indoor air quality by reducing mould-related allergens. With over 35 years of experience and 80,000 completed jobs, we transform homes into mould-free, healthier spaces for Sydney families.

The role of ventilation and sunlight in mould prevention

Ventilation and sunlight are critical in preventing mould growth in Sydney homes. Poor ventilation traps humid air, especially in basements and bathrooms, creating ideal conditions for mould. For example, 45% of Sydney residents reported air quality issues in 2023, per a city survey, often due to inadequate airflow. Opening windows on dry days allows fresh air to circulate, reducing moisture levels. Also, using exhaust fans in bathrooms and kitchens removes steam after showers or cooking. Sunlight is a natural mould inhibitor, as UV rays kill mould spores and dry out damp surfaces. So, keep curtains and blinds open during the day to let sunlight in. In Sydney, where humidity averages 65%, per the Bureau of Meteorology, these steps are essential. They complement 1800 CLEANER’s mould removal efforts, ensuring your home remains a healthier, mould-free environment for your family.

The emotional benefits of a mould-free home

A mould-free home offers emotional benefits alongside physical health improvements. Mould can contribute to depression, sadness, and anxiety, as noted by health studies, due to its impact on air quality. In Sydney, where 45% of residents reported stress in 2023, per a city survey, a clean, mould-free space can provide significant relief. For instance, better air quality reduces symptoms like headaches and fatigue, improving mood and focus. A 2022 University of Melbourne study found that cleaner environments enhance mental clarity by 20%. Also, a mould-free home feels fresh and inviting, promoting a sense of calm. This is especially important for families with children, who are more sensitive to environmental stressors. By eliminating mould, 1800 CLEANER’s non-toxic mould cleaning creates a peaceful sanctuary, helping you feel more relaxed and emotionally balanced in your Sydney home.

Long-term benefits of mould management

Managing mould offers lasting benefits for your Sydney home and family. First, it improves air quality by reducing mould spores, lowering the risk of asthma and allergies. About 1 in 9 Australians have asthma, per Asthma Australia, making this crucial. Also, it prevents respiratory issues like hypersensitivity pneumonitis, especially in children. Mould management reduces emotional stress, as cleaner air decreases symptoms like fatigue and depression. A 2022 study by the University of Melbourne found that tidy spaces improve focus by 20%. Additionally, regular mould prevention extends the lifespan of your home’s surfaces, such as tiles and walls, by preventing decay. In Sydney’s humid climate, where mould thrives, these benefits are vital. 1800 CLEANER’s mould removal in Sydney ensures your home remains a healthy, mould-free space, supporting your family’s well-being for years to come.

Deep cleaning for a healthier living environment

The power of deep cleaning for your home

A clean home may look tidy on the surface, but hidden dust and impurities can harm your health and disrupt your peace of mind. At 1800 CLEANER, we advocate for deep cleaning in Sydney at least once a year to create a dust-free home environment, significantly improving air quality and mental well-being. This article explores how our non-toxic deep cleaning methods, like the 21-Point spring clean, eliminate 97% of fine dust, reduce allergens, prevent mould, and enhance your living space for a healthier, more orderly life. In Sydney, where 20% of residents suffer from allergies, per Asthma Australia, deep cleaning is essential. We’ll dive into the science behind deep cleaning, its health benefits, and its impact on mental clarity. Let’s transform your home into a sanctuary of health and tranquility.

A well done deep cleaning generates multiple benefits for your health.

The hidden dangers of surface-level cleaning

A home that looks clean can still harbor hidden dangers. For instance, surface-level cleaning often misses fine dust particles that settle in hard-to-reach areas. These particles can float back into the air, reducing indoor air quality. In Sydney, where humidity averages 65%, per the Bureau of Meteorology, this dust can carry allergens like dust mite waste, affecting 2.7 million Australians with asthma, per Asthma Australia. Also, a 2023 city survey found that 45% of Sydney residents reported indoor air quality issues. Hidden dust frustrates future cleaning efforts, as it spreads when disturbed, creating a cycle of poor air quality. This can lead to allergies, respiratory issues, and even stress, as noted by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences. Therefore, deep cleaning is crucial to address these unseen threats and ensure a truly healthy home.

The science of deep cleaning: Beyond the surface

Deep cleaning goes far beyond regular tidying. It targets fine dust particles that traditional methods miss. For example, 1800 CLEANER’s deep cleaning in Sydney removes 97% of micro-dust down to 30 microns. So, this includes allergens, pollutants, and irritants that harm your immune system. We use HEPA-Air filters and negative ionizers to counteract the dust-drop effect. This effect occurs when dust becomes airborne during cleaning and floats for up to five days, per 1800 CLEANER’s research. As a result, our 21-Point spring clean ensures dust is captured, not redistributed. Also, we clean air conditioning filters, move furniture, and use ladders to reach hidden spots. These spots often leak dust over time. By using a scientific method, we transform your home into a dust-free home environment. This leads to cleaner air and a healthier living space.

Benefit 1: Improved air quality for better health

Deep cleaning significantly enhances the air you breathe. For instance, it removes fine dust particles that carry allergens like dust mite waste and pet dander. In Sydney, where 65% of homes have pets, per RSPCA NSW, pet dander is a common issue. Dust mite waste can trigger asthma, affecting 20% of Sydneysiders, per Asthma Australia. By eliminating 97% of micro-dust, 1800 CLEANER’s non-toxic deep cleaning ensures cleaner air. This reduces symptoms like sneezing, coughing, and watery eyes. Also, cleaner air lowers the risk of respiratory issues, which is vital for children and the elderly. A 2022 study by the University of Melbourne found that improved air quality reduces fatigue by 25%. Therefore, after a deep clean, you’ll notice a fresh, renewed feeling in your home. This makes breathing easier and supports overall health for your family.

Benefit 2: Reducing allergens and irritability

Dust in homes often contains harmful particles like dust mite waste and cast skins. These trigger allergic reactions, such as asthma, sneezing, and watery eyes. In Sydney, where 20% of residents have allergies, this is a major concern. For example, a single square meter of carpet can hold 100,000 dust mites, per Macquarie University research, releasing allergenic waste into the air. This can also cause irritability and fatigue, as noted by health experts. However, a thorough deep clean removes a large portion of this dust. As a result, 1800 CLEANER’s dust-free home environment reduces these health issues. So, you’ll wake up without sneezing fits. You’ll also breathe easier with cleaner air. This improvement in air quality lowers irritability for the whole family. Therefore, deep cleaning is a vital step for allergy sufferers in Sydney.

Benefit 3: Preventing mould growth

Deep cleaning helps stop mould growth, a serious health hazard. In Sydney’s humid climate, averaging 65% humidity, mould thrives on moisture and organic matter like dust. For instance, dirty carpets and neglected corners can harbor mould spores, which 1 in 10 Australians are allergic to, per the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare. Mould can cause respiratory issues, skin irritation, and long-term health problems. However, deep cleaning removes moisture and organic matter that mould needs to grow. Also, it draws out mould spores from the environment. 1800 CLEANER’s deep cleaning in Sydney targets these hidden spots, ensuring a healthier space. By cleaning air conditioning filters and removing dust, we prevent mould spread. As a result, your home stays safe and free from mould-related health risks. This benefit is crucial for maintaining a healthy living environment year-round.

Benefit 4: Revitalizing spaces through decluttering

Deep cleaning transforms your home by decluttering and creating order. Clutter allows dust to build up, forming large indoor dust clouds. It also blocks spaces, making them hard to use. In Sydney, where 45% of residents reported feeling overwhelmed by clutter in 2023, per a city survey, this is a common issue. However, deep cleaning turns your home into a minimalist space. For example, it opens up areas for better walkability. Also, it makes your home more enjoyable to live in. A clear space feels fresh and inviting. This revitalization eases your mind, reducing stress. The University of Melbourne found that decluttered spaces improve focus by 20%. So, after a deep clean, your home becomes a more functional and peaceful place. 1800 CLEANER’s approach ensures your living areas are refreshed and easy to maintain.

Benefit 5: Enhancing mental well-being

Deep cleaning has a big impact on mental health. A well-organized home reduces feelings of depression and distraction. It also helps you focus better. For instance, a 2022 study by the University of Melbourne found that tidy spaces improve concentration by 20%. In Sydney, where 45% of residents reported stress in 2023, this benefit is key. A clean home fights off lethargy too. So, you feel more energized. Refreshed spaces make daily activities more enjoyable. Also, a dust-free environment feels tranquil. This promotes relaxation and calm. The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences notes that clean air reduces anxiety. Therefore, after 1800 CLEANER’s dust-free home environment service, you’ll feel a sense of peace. This is vital for mental well-being. As a result, your home becomes a sanctuary. It supports a more orderly and joyful life.

The 1800 CLEANER difference: A scientific approach

1800 CLEANER uses a scientific method to achieve a dust-free home. Our 21-Point spring clean removes 97% of micro-dust down to 30 microns. For example, we use HEPA-Air filters and negative ionizers. These stop the dust-drop effect, where dust floats for days after cleaning. Also, we clean air conditioning filters and move furniture. We use ladders to reach hidden spots. These spots often hold dust that leaks out later. Our non-toxic ecoLove™ products ensure safety for your family. With over 35 years of experience, we’ve perfected this process. We’ve completed 80,000 jobs across Sydney. So, we know local challenges like humidity. This makes dust worse. Our deep cleaning in Sydney transforms your home. It becomes a clean, refreshed space. As a result, it’s easier to maintain. This supports a healthier, more peaceful life for you.

Why deep cleaning is essential for Sydney homes

Sydney’s climate makes deep cleaning a must for healthy homes. Humidity averages 65%, per the Bureau of Meteorology, creating ideal conditions for dust mites and mould. For example, a square meter of carpet can hold 100,000 dust mites, per Macquarie University research, releasing allergens into the air. Also, 65% of Sydney homes have pets, per RSPCA NSW, adding pet dander to the mix. Poor air quality affects 45% of residents, per a 2023 city survey, leading to health issues like asthma and allergies. Regular cleaning can’t tackle these hidden threats. However, 1800 CLEANER’s non-toxic deep cleaning removes 97% of fine dust. This reduces allergens and mould risks. As a result, your home becomes a safer space. Deep cleaning also improves mental well-being. So, it’s essential for Sydney families. It ensures a healthier, more orderly living environment.

How to live dust-free in Sydney

/0 Comments/in Cleaning, Covid-19 Cleaning, Dust Allergy Tips, Dust-free homes, Healthy Living, Sydney lifestyle /by

Do you ever think about dust? What about air pollution? Living in a busy and vibrant city like Sydney, we sometimes neglect other aspects of our daily lives that are important to improving our quality of life, like having a healthy, dust-free home. When we think about air pollution, we rarely consider the indoor air pollution in the area where we spend most of our lives – our homes.

At 1800 CLEANER, when we talk about dust-free cleaning challenges, we refer to small habits of order and cleanliness that can transform our quality of life. We primarily focus on your indoor air quality and your dream of living in a dust-free house.

1800 CLEANER understands the problem of how hard it is to remove fine particle dust well. Further, we know how to tackle those spaces in our homes that we may not pay enough attention to when cleaning ourselves. Therefore, these dirty corners become spaces that accumulate dust, clutter, and stagnant energy. After a considerable amount of time without cleaning and tidying these spaces, micro-biotoxins can accumulate and begin to cause damage to our health. This article details the adverse effects on our health if we live in an unhealthy environment.

Top five dust-free cleaning challenges we must overcome to keep our homes impeccable all year round:

High-traffic areas

The busiest spaces in houses, such as entrances, bathrooms, kitchens, bedrooms and living rooms, can collect significant amounts of dust, hair, and other particles that we bring in from the outside and the dust we can generate ourselves.

Our advice is to always try to keep these spaces tidy and clear, carry out regular dusting at least once a week, and vacuum to avoid the accumulation of hair, dust, and other particles that may settle there. Accept that much of the dust will float with traditional cleaning approaches. Therefore, consider closing all windows and doors and letting the dust settle before collecting it with a damp microfibre cloth. Then, after this, commence your cleaning routine.

Furniture

The furniture we have at home can provide challenges to our cleaning efforts. Under and behind furniture creates spaces that are very susceptible to the accumulation of dust. Places we use to store our clothes and shoes or those that we do not use regularly but serve as storage to store things that do not accompany us in everyday life present separate challenges. In a nutshell, the more stuff we have, the more places the dust can hide. So open and easy-to-clean spaces are essential.

Pay close attention to these spaces. Let’s always try to keep them organised in the most minimalist way possible and pay special attention to the high surfaces that are difficult to reach above, below and behind. Remember that the more minimalistic the spaces we live in, the better our ability to clean them regularly. With regular dusting and a microfiber cloth moistened with non-toxic cleaning products, we can reduce the accumulation of dust.

dust-free living

The challenges to living dust-free in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs by 1800 CLEANER

Mould and mildew in humid areas

Damp areas in the home, such as bathrooms and basements, especially if they do not have proper ventilation, are prone to mould and mildew growth. If we can’t achieve access to ventilation, let’s keep those areas as orderly as possible without excessive clutter accumulation. A dehumidifier can help extract excess air moisture, denuding these biotoxins of their sustenance and inhibiting their growth. Let’s pay special attention to regular cleaning with eco-friendly products.

Clutter accumulation

Keeping our belongings in order and in the right place is essential. The accumulation of objects and belongings on surfaces is not a good idea since, in this way, we tend to accumulate dust on them. These surfaces quickly turn ugly, and we avoid cleaning them well. And so the dream of a dust-free house further eludes us.

They end up generating a breeding ground for germs and micro-nasties that contribute to affecting our health. Let’s pay close attention to unnecessary objects like decorations and picture frames and ensure you can get behind the TVs and tidy router cables, dusting behind and under the furniture. These items make us hesitant to clean thoroughly, and there’s no point in having excessive decorations if they’re dirty and untidy. It defeats the purpose.

As a top dust-free cleaning challenge, let’s always try to have a house that is as minimalist as possible. Let’s reorganise the spaces and keep the things that are not helpful now in boxes. We can then archive them in a cool and safe place outside of the home. If this is impossible, put them in clear plastic stackable clutter boxes. These can then be stacked against a wall for easy moving and cleaning behind and above. In this way, we can have better control and clean more comfortably with the help of a duster, damp microfiber cloths and HEPA-grade vacuum.

Rugs and carpets cleaning

Many homes tend to have carpeted rooms. The use of rugs in rooms is also widespread. Our dust-free cleaning challenge promotes the idea that in bedrooms, try first to avoid having an excess of furniture pieces so they become inaccessible to be cleaned underneath and behind since, in general, these are the areas that accumulate the most hair, dirt, and dust. Let’s vacuum regularly in all corners of the room, under and behind the furniture and beds. We can move rugs, air them outside and vacuum them regularly.

Adopting these small, manageable habits can help with the unique challenges of cleaning at home. 1800 CLEANER is a residential cleaning company that has developed a distinctive and specialised cleaning technique with dedicated and trained cleaners and state-of-the-art cleaning equipment that captures more physical debris and airborne dust, dramatically reducing microscopic contaminant levels in your home and workplace.

The importance of using Sydney house cleaning services

  •  Health and Comfort

Professional cleaners go beyond surface-level tidiness. They employ deep cleaning techniques that target and eliminate harmful allergens and bacteria. This thorough cleaning is essential for creating a healthier living environment, particularly beneficial for homes with young children, elderly inhabitants, or people with sensitive health conditions.

  • Psychological Benefits

A clean and organised home environment has a profound impact on mental health. Clutter and disorder can contribute to stress and anxiety. In contrast, a professionally cleaned and well-maintained space promotes a sense of order and tranquillity, fostering a more peaceful and stress-free living environment.

Dust cleaning tips for a healthier home

/0 Comments/in Cleaning, Covid-19 Cleaning, Dust Allergy Tips, Dust-free homes, Healthy Living, Sydney lifestyle, Uncategorised /by

Transforming your dusty home into a dust-free haven

Your home is your sanctuary, a place to relax and live, but hidden dust in your home can silently harm your health. Therefore, at 1800 CLEANER, we specialise in dust cleaning tips in Sydney, helping you create a dust-free home maintenance routine for unseen dust in hard-to-reach spots. This article explores the health risks of hidden dust, its impact on well-being, and practical strategies, plus how our professional dust removal enhances these efforts. Dusty homes in Sydney, where 20% of residents have allergies, per Asthma Australia (nofollow), managing dust is vital. So, we’ll guide you through cleaning air conditioning filters and more, ensuring your home remains a healthy refuge. Let’s uncover secrets to a dust-free life with 1800 CLEANER’s expert advice.

The hidden dangers of dust in your home

Dust lurks in unnoticed places, posing a silent threat to your health. For example, hidden dust “leaks out” from under beds and inside air units, carrying allergens like dust mites. In Sydney, where humidity averages 65%, per the Bureau of Meteorology, dust mites thrive, with a square meter of carpet holding 100,000 mites, per Macquarie University research. Also, this dust can trigger allergies and asthma, affecting 2.7 million Australians, per Asthma Australia. Moreover, a 2023 city survey found that 45% of Sydney residents reported air quality concerns, often tied to dust. Poor air quality can lead to fatigue and anxiety, as noted by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (nofollow). Therefore, addressing hidden dust is essential for your family’s well-being and mental clarity.

How dust affects your health and mind

Dust isn’t just a nuisance—it impacts your physical and mental health. For instance, fine dust holds dust mite waste and pollen, causing sneezing and coughing. In Sydney, where 20% of residents have allergies, this is a major issue, per Asthma Australia. Also, dust worsens asthma and can lead to skin irritations, especially for kids. Mentally, living with dust increases stress and distraction. So, a 2022 University of Melbourne study found that dusty spaces reduce focus by 20%. In Sydney, where 45% of residents reported stress in 2023, per a city survey, this effect is significant. Therefore, removing hidden dust improves air quality. As a result, it creates a calmer, more peaceful home. This supports both your physical health and mental well-being.

Cleaning air conditioning filters: The lungs of your home

Air conditioning filters are key dust collectors, acting as your home’s “lungs.” Dust builds up inside and above these units, often unseen from ground level. In Sydney’s humid climate, averaging 65%, per the Bureau of Meteorology, this dust can hold mould and allergens, worsening air quality. So, clean these filters monthly with a damp cloth to remove dust and prevent blockages. Also, use a vacuum with a HEPA filter to suck out hidden debris. Neglecting this can harm air circulation, affecting 45% of Sydney residents who reported air quality issues in 2023, per a city survey. Therefore, 1800 CLEANER’s professional dust removal includes thorough filter cleaning. As a result, your home’s air stays fresh. This reduces health risks and enhances your living space.

Tackling ceiling fans: A major dust hotspot

Ceiling fans are significant dust accumulators, especially if ignored. Dust clings to their fins, releasing particles when turned on. In Sydney, where 65% of homes have pets, per RSPCA NSW, pet dander adds to this dust load. So, use a ladder to access fans safely. Start with a duster to loosen dust, then wipe with a damp microfiber cloth and cleaner. For stubborn stains, warm water and a scourer work best. Clean them monthly to prevent buildup, as 20% of residents with allergies, per Asthma Australia, are sensitive to airborne bits. Therefore, 1800 CLEANER’s dust-free home maintenance includes fan cleaning. As a result, your home remains a healthier, dust-free haven for your family.

Refreshing lamp shades: A simple dust solution

Lamp shades collect dust over time, dimming light and releasing particles. This is common in Sydney homes due to humidity. So, use a damp microfiber cloth with a cleaner to wipe them down. Start with light dusting, then do a thorough moist wipe. Clean them monthly to keep them bright and reduce allergens. In Sydney, where 45% of residents reported air quality concerns in 2023, per a city survey, this step helps. Therefore, 1800 CLEANER’s professional dust removal includes lamp shade cleaning. As a result, your home feels fresher. This simple task supports a healthier living space for you and your family.

Dusting bookshelves: A satisfying deep clean

Bookshelves gather dust on books and items, creating hidden traps. This is true in Sydney, where 65% of homes have clutter, per a 2023 city survey. So, use a damp microfiber cloth to clean shelves’ sides, top, and back, as dusting alone misses deep dust. This task takes time but feels rewarding. Clean them monthly to prevent buildup, which can trigger allergies in 20% of residents, per Asthma Australia. Therefore, 1800 CLEANER’s dust-free home maintenance tackles these areas. As a result, your library stays dust-free. This improves air quality and enhances your home’s tidiness.

Cleaning frames: Brightening your home

Frames on artwork, windows, beds, and doors collect dust unnoticed. This dust can make your home look dull over time. In Sydney, where humidity aids dust settling, this is a common issue. So, use a duster first, then wipe with a damp cloth to remove stuck dust. Clean them monthly to keep them bright and beautiful. About 20% of Sydneysiders have allergies, per Asthma Australia, so this helps reduce triggers. Therefore, 1800 CLEANER’s professional dust removal includes frame cleaning. As a result, your home looks fresher. This small step supports a healthier living space for your family.

Skirting boards: Tackling permanent dust collectors

Skirting boards are constant dust collectors, often becoming eyesores. In Sydney, where 45% of residents reported air quality issues in 2023, per a city survey, this dust can worsen allergies. So, use a duster regularly to keep them clean, and do a deeper clean with a damp cloth monthly. This prevents buildup, which can trigger respiratory issues for 20% of residents with allergies, per Asthma Australia. Therefore, 1800 CLEANER’s dust-free home maintenance targets skirting boards. As a result, your home stays healthier. This effort reduces hidden dust and improves your living environment.

Under-bed dust: A hidden health hazard

The space under your bed collects lint and dust, especially with storage. This dust is close to where you sleep, posing a health risk. In Sydney, where 65% of homes have pets, per RSPCA NSW, pet dander adds to the problem. So, use a duster to agitate hidden dust, then vacuum with a HEPA filter to remove it. Clean this area monthly to protect your sinuses and health. Therefore, 1800 CLEANER’s professional dust removal includes under-bed cleaning. As a result, your bedroom stays dust-free. This ensures better air quality for a restful sleep.

Carpets and rugs: Managing pet-related dust

Carpets and rugs trap dust, especially in pet homes. In Sydney, where 65% of households have pets, per RSPCA NSW, pet dander increases dust levels. So, vacuum regularly, moving in two directions to agitate the pile, especially in corners. Clean monthly to remove significant dust deposits, which can trigger allergies in 20% of residents, per Asthma Australia. Therefore, 1800 CLEANER’s dust-free home maintenance includes carpet cleaning. As a result, your floors stay cleaner. This reduces allergens and maintains a healthier home.

Top of the fridge: Reaching high dust spots

The top of the fridge collects dust, especially in busy kitchens. This spot is hard to reach, often holding dishes and items. In Sydney, where 45% of residents reported air quality issues in 2023, per a city survey, this dust affects health. So, use a chair to clean with a damp cloth and cleaner. Also, dust the sides and underneath with a vacuum. Clean monthly to keep this area dust-free. Therefore, 1800 CLEANER’s professional dust removal includes fridge top cleaning. As a result, your kitchen air stays fresh. This supports a healthier living space for your family.

Indoor plants: Dust on living decor

Indoor plants add life to your home but collect dust on leaves. In Sydney’s humid climate, dust sticks to their pores, worsening air quality. So, use a damp cloth to wipe upper and lower leaf surfaces monthly. This keeps plants dust-free and enhances their beauty. About 20% of Sydneysiders have allergies, per Asthma Australia, so this helps reduce triggers. Therefore, 1800 CLEANER’s dust-free home maintenance includes plant cleaning. As a result, your home stays healthier. This simple task improves your living environment.

Blinds and curtains: Weekly dust control

Blinds and curtains accumulate significant dust, releasing it when disturbed. In Sydney, where 45% of residents reported air quality concerns in 2023, per a city survey, this is a health issue. So, shake curtains weekly to remove dust, or use a duster on blinds, followed by a cloth. Clean monthly to maintain air quality, especially for 20% of residents with allergies, per Asthma Australia. Therefore, 1800 CLEANER’s professional dust removal includes blind cleaning. As a result, your home stays dust-free. This ensures a healthier space for your family.

COVID-19 cleaning tips from the experts

Cleaning tips during COVID-19

As a cleaning company, we have witnessed an increase in customers requesting help with cleaning advice due to the coronavirus. We can help some customers directly by providing a cleaning service for their needs; others are simply seeking guidance in these unprecedented times.

The first thing to say is that whilst ensuring your living environment is pristine and healthy is prudent, we live in a world of germs and bacteria, and it is impossible to live without them. In fact, modern man has evolved to be his and her magnificent self because of the microscopic arms race we have faced from time immemorial, even before we crawled out of the primordial swamp. We have grown strong as a species not by avoiding danger entirely but by learning to deal with and live with it. Our immune systems are our most potent defence against microscopic invaders of all types, including the virus that has the world so enthralled at this unprecedented time – Covid 19.

The advice that follows will help keep your home and work environment clean and healthy. We also give you some thoughts on how to protect your immune system so that if the virus does come your way, you’re in the best shape to deal with it. Indeed, prevention is better than cure, so let’s start here.

Cleaning for Covid-19

If you use a professional cleaning service, the first thing to consider is avoiding cross-contamination. That means you need to ensure your cleaners bring fresh cloths and cleaning materials into your home every time they clean. You do not want them using the same mop on your kitchen floors as they used on the neighbours’ bathroom tiles. Those shaggy mops are the worst. The same goes for the cleaning cloths they use. Some services use the same microfibre cleaning cloths all day long from one client’s home to the next, and you need to use an eagle eye to watch out for this.

No need to complicate things. Keep it simple.

What’s the difference between cleaning and disinfecting?

Cleaning means physically removing germs (viruses and bacteria), grime, dirt, body fats, etc., from surfaces. This involves using a detergent and water solution. Typically, you would be using a surfactant that breaks up grease and oil with water. It is far preferable to use a non-toxic product, such as a quality citrus-acid-based product like the one we use, ecoLove. This process will largely remove the germs and bacteria in this gunk.

Disinfecting means using chemicals to kill germs on surfaces. If you are cleaning yourself, the first move is to get everything clean of surface grease and grime. This means using a surface detergent-based cleaning product (as described above) to cut down and break up oil and grease. Then, when you have the surface in good condition, you can use a disinfectant.

Disinfectants kill germs, but it is not always possible to remove every germ.

The former (surfactant) can be toxin-free, but in most cases, the disinfectant will contain alcohol, bleach, and/or quaternary compounds. It’s important to dilute these products as per the instructions and to wear a face mask and gloves when using them. We also advise washing the surface again with clean water and wiping it dry to ensure you don’t leave excessive toxins behind. Make certain to wash your hands thoroughly after use as well.

What should I be disinfecting?

Any surfaces that are touched frequently should be disinfected. These will include tabletops, door handles, light switches, desktops, keyboards, TV remotes, kitchen surfaces, kitchen handles, etc. Any surfaces that visually look particularly soiled should be cleaned first and disinfected second. Those things that multiple people use should be paid close attention to, such as EFTPOS machines, shopping trolleys, toilet door handles, etc. Additionally, surfaces should be dry-wiped, including when you mop the floors. Excessive water will spread germs and viruses through water droplets and be a slip-and-fall hazard. We use flat, replaceable microfibre mop heads to achieve this. We always dry the floor with a fresh, dry microfibre mop head after it has been washed with warm water.

How our bodies can fight Covid-19

Cleaners with good energy are a boon, and once you’ve found one, treat them well

Numerous factors impact our immune system, and we should look deeply into these and understand the power of our bodies to protect our beings. The first thing is to acknowledge the role of fear and to avoid it. Truly, there is nothing to fear but the fear of fear itself. Unfortunately, the media pumps up the fear to sell more advertising. It’s a good idea to be conscious of this and to work on ways to counter it. One idea is to try to be aware of the increased levels of anxiety you experience when watching certain programmes on TV and maybe try to avoid these.

Above, we outlined how to clean your house. For specific cleaning techniques, you can view the videos on our youtube channel: www.youtube.com/1800cleaner.com.au/and read the specific articles provided on our site as well. Hopefully, you’ll leave with more than just cleaning knowledge and advice.

As our company celebrates its 38,000th odd clean, one of the most remarkable things we have witnessed throughout this time is how rarely our cleaners get sick. Daily exposure to all the indoor nasties that live in our clients’ homes seems to increase the power of our cleaners’ immune systems, specifically their antibodies, which rise to the challenge. We appreciate the importance of cleaning during this plandemic but want to assure people that everything will be alright. Your body is an amazing and miraculous marvel. Just as we do everything we can each flu season to avoid the cold and flu, we should also take precautions here. Mankind has survived all types of things throughout our long, meandering history, and in the context of these current times, this latest epoch is something we can handle.

How big is the Coronavirus?

When it comes to the coronavirus specifically, this is what the Encyclopaedia Brittanica has to teach us;

Most viruses vary in diameter from 20 nanometres (nm; 0.0000008 inch) to 250–400 nm; the largest, however, measure about 500 nm in diameter and are about 700–1,000 nm long. Only the largest and most complex viruses can be seen under the light microscope at the highest resolution.

To say that these things are tiny is an understatement. This particular virus is purported to be anywhere from 60 to 140nm in size. That’s intensely small, so completely avoiding such a tiny thing with a face mask is not possible. A mask will offer protection from direct contact with water droplets carrying any virus. It’s reasonable to expect that these commonly used masks won’t stop the penetration of such a small virus once it is airborne.

Our experiences with face masks

Our cleaners have used these masks for years whenever we clean excessively dusty homes to avoid the thick clouds of dust and pollutants we disturb from entering our systems. They work for this goal mainly, but we still feel the effects of the really tiny particles that make their way past the masks when we clean. Sometimes, we can feel the effects for hours afterwards as our bodies expel the inhaled nasties. With a big healthy meal and a good night’s sleep, we usually are fighting fit again the next morning. Our cleaners are exposed to more contaminants regularly than the average person. As a result, our immune systems are perpetually ready for action.

The best thing the average householder can do is to keep their home clean and dust-free and to specifically disinfect common touch-points in the home and learn everything there is to know about supporting your immune system. You need a plan to deal with the dust, and the articles here will help: https://1800cleaner.com.au/how-covid-can-hurt-us/

Simple steps to boost our immune system

Mother001

Always look on the bright side of life, get a good night’s sleep and take good care of yourself

High temperatures and particularly ultraviolet light seem useful in killing the virus.

Get plenty of sunshine and fresh air. These also boost our immune systems. Get plenty of rest and drink lots of fresh water. Try to avoid anything negative or of a scary nature. The fear can have a negative impact on our stress hormone levels, our ability to sleep and again on our immune systems. It seems lots of hugs are good for boosting our immune systems, but use your discretion with that. We advocate for the removal of excessive dust from your home. We also believe that using negative ions can positively impact your health, so getting an ioniser and antibacterial air filter is a good idea. Regular washing of our hands has always been and will always be a great idea.

Always look for the silver lining

Boosting the immune system is not rocket science. It is actually timeless logic that our grandparents and forebears often lived instinctively by. Hopefully, they tried to teach us this wisdom before this modern age of mass media consumption. Go to bed nice and early. Exercise, even just a little each day. Eat good food. Drink water. Avoid sugar and alcohol. Take a bath if you can. Treat yourself like someone you’re responsible for caring for. Choose to be around positive people and energies, and avoid negative energies.

De-clutter to make your house a haven. Some things are outside of our control, and some things we can control. Let’s focus our energy on only those things we can control, and chief amongst them are cleaning and our immune systems.
