Do You Have Time for a Deep Carpet Clean Before the Holidays?

By Carpet Cleaning, Deep Cleaning

deep carpet cleaningThe holiday season often brings guests to your home to celebrate the season. One step you can take to get ready is by arranging a pre-holiday deep carpet cleaning before the holidays.

Here are a few reasons to keep your carpets clean and ready for holiday visitors.

A Healthier Household

The carpets in your home act as one giant air filter. They catch and hold particles floating through the air like pet dander and dust. As people walk on the carpet, these particles bounce back up into the air, creating a health hazard.

Regular carpet cleanings prevent this from happening, keeping the air cleaner for everyone residing in your home.

Increase the Life Expectancy of Your Carpet

The dirt your carpet traps is rough. As foot traffic travels over the top of it, it grinds the dirt particles into the fibers of the carpet, causing them to fray and tear. This damage to your carpet is not reversible, meaning it shortens the lifespan of your carpets.

Regular carpet cleanings remove the dirt from your carpets, keeping the fibers from damage. Having your carpets cleaned before the hustle and the bustle of a busy holiday season will help keep your carpets looking like new for your holiday guests.

Stain Cleaning

Our team has all the tools and the knowledge to remove any tough stains. We can handle everything from wine to chocolate, letting you get back to prepping your holiday meals.

Cleaning Prevents Mold

All your holiday visitors will be seeking shelter from the cold in your home. When they track in moisture from outdoors, it can become trapped in your carpet. Moisture that stays in the fibers can turn into mold, creating a huge health hazard. Mold smells bad and can cause symptoms that are similar to a cold or allergies.

Don’t let your holiday guests bring you this unwanted present. Arrange for a professional carpet cleaning and eliminate any chance for mold in your home.

Why to Deep Clean Restrooms in Assisted Living Facilities

By Deep Cleaning

deep clean restroomsWhen looking for a assisted-living facility or nursing home, one of the determining factors of a high-standard facility is the bathrooms. On average, six people will share a bathroom, so it’s essential that each room is pristine. When an assisted-living home does not keep its bathrooms clean, it increases the chances of elderly residents contracting infections and diseases. Several health issues can occur from unsanitary restrooms. Below are 5 reasons to deep clean restrooms at assisted-living facilities.

Urinary Tract Infections

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are the most common infections among the elderly. This is because of diabetes and the use of catheters. Symptoms of UTIs in older adults include confusion, discomfort, and urinary incontinence. Antibiotics can usually treat UTIs. Having a clean bathroom is important for nursing home residents, whether they have a catheter or not.

Skin Infections

As skin ages, it becomes more susceptible to cuts and infections. Some infections can be viral, including scabies, pressure ulcers, and shingles. The elderly can also contract bacterial or fungal foot infections. Symptoms to look for are itching or pain. These infections can be treated with medicines or vaccines, but they could be prevented with access to clean bathrooms, proper hygiene, and regular help from nursing home staff to shower and clean their bodies.

Bacterial Pneumonia

Pneumonia continues to be the leading cause of mortality for nursing home residents and occurs because of an increased exposure to diseases in a community setting and a weaker immune system. Symptoms of pneumonia are confusion and delirium. Those suffering can usually treat bacterial pneumonia with antibiotics. A vaccine that helps prevent some types of pneumonia is available, and it is highly recommended that nursing home residents receive it.

Gastrointestinal Infections

Digestion changes due to age and an increase in gastric acid ups the risk of gastrointestinal infections. Two of the most common infections are Helicobacter pylori and Clostridium difficile. Symptoms may include fever, nausea, and upper abdominal pain. A doctor will treat these infections with prescription medications.

Influenza

The flu spreads through breathing, coughing, and sneezing, so a small space shared by many residents in close proximity is a breeding ground for illnesses and increases the chances of contracting diseases. This means nursing homes should always keep the environment as clean as possible to prevent illnesses. Symptoms of influenza may be different for the elderly, but can include coughing, chills, and fever. An annual vaccination can help prevent influenza, but for those who have already contracted the illness, antiviral medication may be the solution.

All these health issues are common in the elderly, especially nursing home residents, because of the compact area that many residents share together. One way that staff can help the elderly prevent these infections and diseases is by deep-cleaning restrooms. There are many places in a bathroom where bacteria can grow, so keeping them clean is vital. It is the staff’s job to ensure residents’ living area are clean, so they are able to practice good hygiene and avoid illnesses.

5 Common Infections in the Elderly that Deep Cleaning Can Help Deter

By Deep Cleaning

deep cleaningUp to 33% of elderly people in the United States die every year because of infections. Infections that are harmful for younger people can be even more dangerous for the elderly. The following are some of the most common infections in the elderly and tips on how deep cleaning can help prevent them.

Flu

Influenza is a common ailment in the United States. Elderly people often have weaker immune systems and other diseases that make it more difficult for their bodies to fight off the flu. Additionally, nursing homes serve as ideal locations for the flu to spread, because of the close and sometimes cramped conditions.

Pneumonia

More than 60% of people older than 65 are admitted into hospitals for pneumonia. In the elderly, the symptoms manifest less in chills and coughing and more in confusion and delirium. Elderly people are at a higher risk of getting pneumonia because of exposure in community settings, preexisting diseases, and various other factors.

Gastrointestinal Infections

One of the most common gastrointestinal infections that occurs in elderly people is Clostridium difficile, or C-diff. C-diff often occurs in nursing homes when someone has been taking antibiotics that kill off healthy intestinal microbes.

Urinary Tract Infections

Urinary tract infections (UTIs), are common in all age groups and can usually be treated with antibiotics. However, UTIs can become extremely dangerous if the infection goes unnoticed and it spreads to the kidneys. Not only are elderly people anatomically predisposed to experience UTIs more frequently, the catheters that some use can cause UTIs.

Skin Infections

Elderly people are at a higher risk for skin infections because their aging skin is more damaged and less capable of fending off diseases. Most skin infections are very treatable, but they can become dangerous if no one notices them, especially for the elderly.

Preventing Infections with Deep Cleaning

Along with antibiotics and various other medications, deep cleaning is an extremely effective way to prevent infections in the elderly. Deep cleaning includes both the person and the environment. Make sure the elderly person is washing his or her hands and body thoroughly and frequently. Have the tile or carpet floors in personal and communal spaces thoroughly cleaned as often as necessary. Seniors are more vulnerable to infections, so it is important to do all you can to limit the potential diseases, germs, and bacteria in their environment. Keeping each room as clean as possible could prevent an elderly person from contracting a serious, possibly fatal disease or infection.
