Thank you for everyone who joined me the other night for my
7 Essentials of a Healthy Home workshop. What a great class! I
thoroughly enjoyed the evening and I hope you all did as well.
In our conversions I mentioned a couple
resources. Below are the links to those resources as well as a reminder
of the 7 essentials. If you would like help or would like to schedule a
consult for creating a healthy and happy home. Please call anytime.
Thanks again!
Entrance
Mats: The entrance mats I have
purchased and sold over the years come from American Floor Mats. Click here to go directly to their web
site
I
like this site/company for a couple of reasons. First you can get high
quality commercial entrance rugs at a very good value. If you would to
actually see the mats before you buy, no problem just call and have them send
you samples of the ones you are most interested in. On this site you
have a huge section of types, colors, sizes and qualities.
Check on any specials and for purchase minimums. Around holidays they
will often give a 10% discount and if you order a certain amount will
give you free shipping.
I have quite a selection of samples and have ordered from here many
times. If you would like help in your order, let me know and for a small
fee I can help you get exactly what you are wanting.
Commercial
Microfibers: With microfibers you very often get what you pay for.
Buying cleaning supplies from our local retailers may not be as
cost and quality effective as is buying from the suppliers who supply us
cleaners. Over the years I have got a lot of my cleaning supplies from
Coastwide Laboratory in Tacoma and Seattle. For Microfibers
they stock the Rubber Made commercial line and I think a couple types of
microfibers. Buy quality over quantity! To connect directly to Coastwide click here. If you
are not a professional cleaner, don't worry Coastwide is open to the
public
Absorbing Towels: This last tip comes after class. As we were all chatting a gentleman mentioned he was having trouble getting the residue off his countertops. A common reason for this is either applying too much cleaner or not effectively rinsing and drying the surface to remove the cleaner. I had forgotten to mention the importance of using absorbent towels. Please do not clean your towels with any sort of fabric softener or use dryer sheets in the dryer. Both of these products tend to diminish the absorbency of your towels. Also, do not clean your towels with bleach. Bleach tends to be damaging to the fibers.
We used to get our while cotton
towels from Costco. We used the white cotton hand towels and
white cotton shop towels.
In class I showed a demonstration of
cleaning with the microfiber and then rinsing with a cotton towel. This
is a very productive combination. Here you get the benefits of microfiber
technology along with the absorbing power of cotton.
As a reminder of our class- here again is the
list of the
7 Essentials of a healthy home.
1. Keep it
well ventilated
2 Keep it dry
3. Keep it
clean- the residue free style!
4 Keep it
free of contaminates
5. Keep it
safe
6. Keep it
pest free
7 Keep it
well maintained
These 7 essentials come from The National Environmental Health Association and The National Center for Healthy Housing. These are the organizations I received my healthy home certification from.
Thanks again,
Wishing you all a big splash of
curiosity and abundance of fresh air,
Denise
