The amount of humidity and the heat in the Austin area make buildings in the region more susceptible to mold and mildew.
Most buildings in Austin have siding, stucco, or brick exteriors. Mold and mildew hold moisture at the surface and can shorten the life of all three of these surfaces. Annual power washing, however, can resolve all the problems that accompany mold by killing safely removing the mildew. Power washing siding and stucco can be done safely by using gentle techniques on the surfaces.

Whether in a home or business, tile and grout flooring instantly catches visitors’ eyes, but, if not cared for, tile and grout can have the opposite affect.
If not cleaned properly, grout is not only an eyesore, but it can have harmful health effects. Harmful microbes, dirt, grease, stains, and mold can accumulate in grout, resulting in foul odors and deteriorating indoor air quality. Substances can penetrate grout pores making thorough cleaning extremely difficult.
Mold, mildew, dirt, and lime scale can accumulate between the joints of wall tiles, particularly in bathrooms, and can cause serious grout sealing problems and unhealthy conditions.

August is a tough time for allergy sufferers and many parts of the country are seeing high levels of pollen, but relief may be surprisingly simple.
Most people do not know that carpet cleaning can have a major impact on allergies. Dust mites, mold, mildew, fungi and other allergens are easily and effectively removed with proper carpet cleaning. These allergens are trapped in carpet pile fibers out of the breathing zone, but with every footstep your carpet is releasing these irritants into the air.
Cleaning carpet on a regular basis can have a positive impact on your health, the health of your family, and even your pets. Every time contact is made with a carpet allergens are released into the air, while others are pushed deeper into the carpet making it harder to clean.

The air ducts in homes and businesses can quickly accumulate a number of dangerous contaminants including dust, mold, spores, dander, pollen, and allergens that can seriously affect a person’s breathing. When a person inhales contaminants like dust and pollen over a long period of time they can build up in a person’s lungs and impair breathing.
The frequency of cleanings needed ranges for different households and businesses. Homes and businesses with smokers, pets, water contamination, or residents with allergies or asthma should have their air ducts cleaned more frequently. Additionally, people moving into a new home or who have just had renovations done should hire professionals to clean their air ducts.
Indoor air pollution is very often an ignored problem, but it can also often be even more harmful than outdoor pollution. It is important to have your air ducts cleaned often and by professionals to protect you and your loved ones’ health. If you or someone you know is in need of air duct cleaning services, contact the Austin air duct cleaning specialists of Wow Total Cleaning at 512-291-0048 to learn more.

On June 14th, heavy storms flooded Lightning Creek on Oklahoma City’s South Side. The Oklahoma Department of Emergency Management is now investigating at least two dozen homes to determine the overall level of damage done to properties due to the flooding. The White House has already denied FEMA assistance to Oklahoma City residents.
Officials suggest that if your house was damaged by the Oklahoma City flooding, you should take pictures of the damage and keep receipts related to water extraction and other cleanup efforts.
Homeowners dealing with flood damage described their homes as being left with “mounds of damp carpet and damaged furniture”.
If you or someone you know is in need of water extraction, contact the Austin water extraction and restoration specialists of Wow Total Cleaning at 512-291-0048 to learn more.

Human lungs are protected by a series of defense mechanisims in different regions of the respiratory tract to protect against dusty air.
When a person inhales, particles suspended in the air enter the nose or mouth but not all of them will reach the lungs. The nose itself is a filter for large airborne particles, but over a prolonged period of time, dust particles can build up in the lungs and cause serious health risks.
The amount of dust and the types of particles involved determine how serious the lung injury will be. For instance, when silica particles are swallowed by the macrophages, they die and release a toxic substance. This substance can cause fibrous or scar tissue to form deep in the lungs. So much scar tissue can form that lung function can be greatly impaired.
With so much concern for clean air, hiring a professional cleaning company may be your best solution. By regularly cleaning the air ducts in your home, you can remove any build-ups of dust, any mold, and any allergens or pollen caught up in your vents. Considering how common dust piles are in air vents, in particular causing those with asthma additional hardships, a professional cleaning job can make the difference between comfort and misery in your household. Contact the Austin air duct cleaners of WOW Total Cleaning by calling 512-291-0048 to discuss your cleaning solution today.
