Problems of Dirty Air Ducts

If you realize you haven’t had the air system in your place of business cleaned in a while, you might not think it's a big deal, maybe you can push it off until later, right? But air ducts that pump out dirty air can actually have very negative effects on employees, customers/clients or anyone else in the building, and you might not realize until it's too late. Dust and debris that re-enter the air may cause allergies or respiratory issues, headaches, flu symptoms, or greatly worsen symptoms for people who already have respiratory issues. Mold growth in the air ducts can be even worse, causing even more severe symptoms of allergy and respiratory issues, creating a work environment that won’t be healthy for anyone. It can flat out make you feel tired and sick. Austin, Texas has really bad allergies and its important to keep your home and office clean.

Considering Concrete Cleaning? We Can Help!

Cleaning Austin for 40 years

Possibly the most underrated flooring, concrete can be used in essentially every area of a home. From the garage, to the living areas, to even the back patio- it’s versatile and easily changeable, too. On today’s blog, we’re covering all the reasons staining your concrete can benefit your home.

A Better Look For Less

An ordinary concrete slab might look a little dull, but when you have your concrete professionally stained, it’s able to take on a myriad of appearances. You can make your concrete flooring look just like wood, marble, stone or even leather. And the best part about it is, concrete flooring and staining still costs less than those other flooring options, so you’re getting the same luxurious look for a fraction of the cost!

Easy To Maintain

Not only is concrete flooring and staining easier on your wallet, but it’s also easier to maintain. Unlike other flooring options, the stain on concrete will not chip, fade, or peel over time. Stained concrete floors also require very little cleaning and upkeep to stay in great condition. The only maintenance you’ll have to worry about is occasionally cleaning with a damp mop. Because of all of this, stained concrete flooring is the longest lasting flooring option there is!

The job of staining concrete flooring, whether inside or outside, is certainly a big job that you’ll want professional help for. When it comes to The Steam Team, our concrete staining experts’ process involves rigorous polishing, followed by applying an acid-based stain to the concrete slab.

No matter the scale of damage after a house fire, the experience can be traumatizing and at the very least, stressful! But don’t worry; The Steam Team has your back. There’s no fire or smoke damage that we can’t handle! And when it comes to smoke damage, we know exactly how to bring back that fresh scent you’ve been missing! Below are three tips to rid your home of smoke odor after a house fire.

Properly Ventilate the Area

After a fire, your home needs a ton of fresh air! It’s highly important that you properly ventilate the affected area. How do you do this? By opening all doors and windows (keep pets from escaping by using baby gates at the entrances to your home), and place box fans all around the area. Set them to high! This will help push contaminated air out of your home.

Do Some Deep Cleaning

Unfortunately, the only way to permanently remove smoke odor is to properly clean everything. This means gathering up linens to be washed and/or dry cleaned (couch covers, blankets and sheets, clothing, etc). It also means washing your drapes, walls, and thoroughly cleaning all surfaces in your home. If the task is too heavy, call in a professional cleaning company!
