Air pollutants are five times more prevalent inside the home than outside. Cosmetics, cleaners, building materials, and home appliances are full of toxic elements. Even shampoo is made with chemicals that could cause cancer.
As you can see in this video, it is important to address sources of indoor air pollution to ensure improved health and quality of life. Use biodegradable, non-toxic cleaners, purchase plant-based cosmetics, and remember to regularly clean your carpets and air ducts.
Steam Express uses 100% organic green products to clean carpets, upholstery, and air ducts and improve the air quality in your home. Our environmentally friendly cleaning products and services are making the homes in Houston safer. For more information, call (281) 320-8006.

Considering the dirt, dust, and other allergens that can accumulate in a carpet, it is especially important to clean regularly when you have children in the house. Without regular carpet cleaning, your children might start to suffer from allergies or asthma. Use these tips to keep your carpet clean and your children healthy:
Vacuuming is one of the best ways to keep your carpet free of harmful allergens. At least twice a week, vacuum the whole carpet. Pay special attention to high-traffic areas, making sure to go over those spots repeatedly. Doormats near the front and back doors will catch some of the excess dirt that is brought in from outside. If you ask everyone to take off their shoes inside, then you can keep the carpet even cleaner. Regular cleaning will improve the air quality inside the home, which could prevent allergies and asthma symptoms in your children.
Whether you need carpet or upholstery cleaning, remember to stay away from chemicals that could be harmful to your family. Club soda, baking soda, water, vinegar, and dishwashing soap make very useful cleaning supplies. Clean lighter stains with one cup of water mixed with half a teaspoon of soap. Baking soda is great for removing carpet odors. If you are having trouble removing stains, schedule a carpet cleaning with professionals who use 100% organic products.
Even if you give your children washable paint and markers, stains may still appear on your carpet. The best way to prevent stains from becoming permanent is to spot clean. For wet stains, place a dry towel on top to soak up as much as possible. Always blot when using your natural cleaning solutions, followed by rinsing with water. Use this method to keep carpets looking fresh between cleanings.

Air pollution is not just a problem for urbanites in large cities. Indoor pollutants are common no matter where you live and can cause respiratory problems like asthma, allergies, and heart and lung conditions.
Keeping your home clean is hugely important when combatting the negative effects of indoor air pollutants. Use these tips and call in the professionals for carpet cleaning, air duct cleaning, and more so you and your family can breathe easier:
- Carpet Cleaning - One of the easiest ways to reduce the amount of pollutants in your home is to clean the carpets regularly. Vacuum at least twice a week. If you have pets, try to vacuum more often and schedule professional carpet cleanings at least once a year. Cleaning the carpet will drastically lower the amount of dirt, dust, pet dander, dust mites, and allergens in each room. Try to focus at least once a week on basic upholstery cleaning as well.
- Water Damage Restoration - If water damage has occurred, either from a burst pipe or inclement weather, it is vital to get proper water damage restoration. When excess moisture is not cleaned, especially in cool, dark areas, mold and mildew might start to grow. Breathing in mold spores can cause symptoms of allergies and asthma to flare up.
- Air Duct Cleaning - When air circulates through the ducts, it brings dirt and dust with it. Dust has a tendency to build up, and when combined with moisture, can also cause mold. Once mold starts to grow, it can easily spread through the ducts. Professional cleaners will open, brush, and vacuum the ducts, eliminating trapped dust and mold. A thorough air duct cleaning will help dramatically when it comes to indoor air quality.
Steam Express in Houston will help you clean your home and decrease indoor pollutants. With our residential and commercial carpet and air duct cleaning services, we can make the air you breathe fresher. To learn more or to schedule service, visit us online or call (281) 320-8006.
