Why are my grout lines so dark?

 Why, despite constant mopping, do my grout lines get dark?  Your grout lines sit lower that the tile surface, so as you mop you are actually pushing soil into the grout lines.  It's unavoidable. The only way to fix it, besides getting down on your hands and knees and scrubbing is a periodic, professional grout scrubbing. Professionals have the proper products to deep clean, neutralize, and then seal your grout.  Many products that homeowners may use can actually damage or compromise the grout.

Should I have my grout painted?  While you can have a color seal product put on your grout to make it all look evenly colored, you need to keep in mind that it is not a permanent solution. Over time due to wear and cleaning sections of the coloring can come off exposing the original grout color.  We have seen in a number of times.

Kitchen Health Hazards

The surfaces in a kitchen that are considered health hazards are probably not at the top of your list of household concerns, but statistics show that a closer look at countertops, cutting boards and other food preparation areas where you slice and dice your way to your favorite meal is warranted.
 
As stated by Dr. Charles Gerba, a noted microbiologist and professor: “In most cases, it’s safer to make a salad on a toilet seat than it is to make one on a cutting board.”
 
Ick.
 
Let’s look at three common surfaces where there is food contact and what can be done to protect the health of yourself and your family.
 
Countertops
 
We take them for granted as the most common food preparation surface, and yet we often don’t pay enough attention to how clean they are. Especially close to the sink, where most food prep usually takes place. Make it a daily habit, and especially after preparing tasty meals that include meat such as chicken and pork, to use a disinfectant kitchen cleaner and paper towels. But don’t just spray and wipe. Spray the disinfectant cleaner all over the countertop and give it a few minutes to work, and then wipe it off.
 
Cutting boards 
 
As previously mentioned, cutting boards have been known to be so contaminated that toilet seats are considered to have less contamination. Most people, after preparing food, quickly rinse and wipe off their cutting boards, leaving a teaming army of bacteria behind. Just like with countertops, a disinfectant cleaner is important. Even better? Have several cutting boards in your kitchen and after using one, put it in the dishwasher. Done. Clean. Healthy.
 
Sinks
 
Many bacteria tests of kitchen sinks reveal a collection of E. coli. Why? Unless you are on vacation, your kitchen sink is always wet, which is what bacteria thrives on. Add food particles to the mix and the bacteria has a huge buffet to feast upon. Frequently spray the kitchen sink with disinfectant cleaner, give it time to work, and then rinse with hot water. Do this daily. Doesn’t take much time at all.
 
Of course, when you want peace of mind and a healthy home, especially when you are too busy to do it yourself, call a pro. Your professional cleaning service knows how to clean it all.

What is the biggest filter in your home?

Everyone is concerned about better health. We shop for healthy foods. We take our vitamins. We visit our doctor on a regular basis. We drink filtered water. What we might not appreciate is the value of filtered air.

How do you effectively filter the air in your home? You are right… changing the filters in your furnace system on a regular, scheduled basis. If you wait too long, you know it because the filter is just so darned dirty. It makes a mess when you change it. So you vow to do it more often, and maybe you even put it on your wall calendar so you don’t forget. You might even pick up a better quality filter, such as one that uses HEPA standards.

But what about the biggest filter in your home? Wonder what it is? Just look down… if you have carpet, that’s the filter that often gets ignored. If you don’t have much carpet, odds are you have area rugs covering those hard floors. Those area rugs are filters, too.

Carpet in a home is a protection for you, because it traps all kinds of allergens that can be the bane of asthma sufferers. Carpet is a filter and, like all filters, has to be either changed or cleaned. It’s not practical to change your carpet every year or so (heck, no one could afford that!) but you can — and should — have it cleaned.

Remember, allergens are very light and float in the air, and are respiratory concerns, especially for allergy and asthma sufferers. Carpet helps to keep those particulates to a minimum by trapping them in the fibers.  Those allergens have to be removed before they start to "overflow" out of your carpet and become airborne again. Think about it: you don't let too much time pass before sweeping your non-carpeted flooring.  Why?  Because as you walk across those floors you stir up the dust and allergens.  You get the same result from carpet that hasn't been vacuumed and cleaned regularly.

There are many documented studies about how homes and facilities, such as schools, are healthier because of carpet and regular cleaning schedules. 

So enjoy your carpet… and have it cleaned by your favorite carpet cleaning pro-
