There can be no doubt that the most pervasive, if not the newest, trend is ‘Green’.

Cleaning products, for instance, have become ‘greener,’ more friendly to the environment.  Fewer cleaners require protective clothing and active ventilation, and more have become gentler and less objectionable in the air.

The most friendly of the green cleaning products, though,  use ultraviolet light to kill germs, bacteria, and viruses on bathroom fixtures, kitchen counters, and floors.  They can also be used to sanitize bedding, drapes, furniture, and carpets without harm.  Various appliances that use ultraviolet light can kill salmonella, ecoli, flu, H1N1, and MRSA viruses before they have a chance to cause infection.  In a very real sense, the ‘greenest’ of cleaning products are actually blue!

New, renewable  sources of power have been tapped to provide electricity for homes, offices and factories.  The wind can be harnessed more readily and efficiently than ever before, and solar energy is easier and less expensive to capture.  New building codes require new and improved insulation and windows that form more of a barrier between inside and outside.

Automakers have seized the initiative to put millions of dollars into new research to make their cars and trucks more efficient.  They have found new ways to use ethanol to help reduce reliance on fossil fuels, so-called hybrid cars that run on a combination of internal combustion engines and batteries have become commonplace, and manufacturers have broken down some of the traditional consumer objections to all-electric cars.  Research continues into development of hydrogen fuel cells.

While traditional chemicals still make up the largest share of lawn and garden pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers, more and more homeowners and landscape professionals are using natural compounds instead, and composting has increased in popularity.  And some cities and counties have developed programs to collect fallen and removed tree branches and shrubs and turn them into mulch for flower beds and decorative parking strips.

In these challenging times parents are more concerned than ever about viruses, flu, and H1N1.

Dealing with germs, bacteria (MRSA) dust mites and e-coli is a daily challenge.

It’s not like you don’t have enough to worry about.

Chemical-free cleaning helps freshen the indoor environment

A few recent inventions, like UV-C Light technology, can help relieve your mind about killing germs without using chemicals that are safe, effective and affordable.

Our parents did not have the benefit of UV-C Light technology to kill germs, so bleaching was the most effective way to kill germs.  Although bleach wasn’t an option with special fabrics and those with color, curtains, pet beds and wood floors.  Some even required dry cleaning.

We all remember hearing,  “Clean up your room; vacuum; wash your clothes” as we grew up.  So as our own kids get older that worry is still there and we are still asking, “Is your room clean? Company is coming.”

College students or teenagers are loaded with so many projects that cleaning their room is just one more thing to do.

How do you save time cleaning?

Here are some tips:

• Run a Furniture and Bed Sanitizing Vacuum along the furniture
• Use a light weight UV-C Sanitizing Wand along surfaces – it’s fast and easy
• Notice the fresh room smell along with germs killed with green technology
• Sanitize pillows, sneakers, backpacks, desks, computers, beds, bedding, and sinks.

Testimonial:

“As the former of Loving Spoonful (Seattle’s 1^st Home Pet and Plant Care Business) I found these tips helpful. I encountered more than most, my share of pet accidents during the course of ownership.”  Darielle

We buy our pet all sorts of things we think they will need.  Our joy is boundless and we receive much from owning and the return of their unconditional love.  Our furry friends, greet us at the door after a day at work.  For those that work at a home business, having that constant companion around is comforting.

We become acclimated to the smells, whether is it a clean, musky or pet odor.  We often miss the smells until they become pronounced or someone says something.

We clean, disinfect and assume that all is well.  Ask any guest and most often they will tell you about the fur on the furniture, cat or dog odor, and say “This is bad for my allergies”.

For those that don’t know, our beloved pet’s body secret oil and a waxy substance that has an odor. Often the odor is very pronounced, along with shedding on the beds and furniture.

Pet owners know that our furry friends have accidents due to old age, getting nervous, excited or frightened by loud noises.  We come home and “BAM”, we smell the foul odor, or we find surprises in the course of regular cleaning.  We love our special friends, but our carpets, bed or floors can become permeated with the odor and the smell can be overwhelming.

Here is the “usual” way clean up the mess:

• disinfect the area
• use paper towels to absorb the excess urine
• follow by time-tested baking soda and more paper towels
• finish with a mixture of water and white vinegar with paper towels left overnight
• weigh down with something heavy to bring the urine up from the carpet and pad
• This is good but all to often the odor lingers especially if there are multiple urine episodes.

How do we remove the smell and pet odors now?

The lasting way to sanitize and eliminate biological pollutants and pet odors comes from the handy UV-C Light that kills the odors.  The Furniture and Bed Vacuum picks up hair, makes it easy to sweep, and and is a chemical-free way to handle these problems. Try one and see the refreshing difference for your home and environment.
