Creating a Healthy Environment for Christmas Visitors.

This Christmas and New Year season we will spend a lot of time indoors, so it is important to ensure a healthy indoor environment for your visitors.

Creating a healthy environment with HydroKleen air conditioner cleaning

Along with putting up decorations and preparing awesome meals, removing harmful nasties from inside your home should now be added to your to-do list.
Here are a few tips you can use to ensure a healthy environment for your guests:

Clean and Disinfect

Make sure your home is not a haven for bacteria or germs by thoroughly cleaning and disinfecting all surfaces that are likely to be touched by visitors. This includes door handles, taps, backs of chairs, toilets and the kitchen area. There are now disinfectants available that leave a protective barriers that last for days, so try to find a natural version of one of these. Also provide hand sanitiser for everyone.

Check Water Tanks and Pipes

Make sure the water your family and guests use to drink or bathe in is clean. Get a water purification system to avoid drinking contaminated water. If you use a rainwater tank and water coming through the taps is murky or smells unusual, you will need to organise cleaning of the tank and removal of any debris clogging up gutters and drainpipes etc. If the mains water is not looking good, call a plumber to investigate.

Get an Air-Purifier

Air pollution has a significant effect on your health, so make sure you are breathing clean air. It is advisable to invest in a high-quality air purifier to reduce the risk of any illnesses caused by polluted air.

Get Your Air Conditioner Professionally Cleaned

Make sure your air-conditioner is clean and thus not circulating unhealthy particles such as mould spores, pollen, pet dander, human skin cells, mice or gecko excrement and so on. Ensure your Technician uses “fit for purpose” equipment specifically designed to clean and sanitise air conditioners.

Cleaning Filters is NOT enough. Only a thorough sanitization of the entire internals of the air con will safe guard you. A HydroKleen will clean your AC unit back to ‘As New’ hygienic condition under the ACWWA HVAC Wet Wash Guidelines for Ductless Split Systems. A Verification Seal will be affixed to your unit to confirm the clean has been completed to ACWWA’s Guidelines.

The Real Cost of Mould in Your Air Conditioner

The Real Cost of Mould in Your Air Conditioner.

Detrimental effects of mould inside air conditioning can range from a simple clean and sanitisation required, to the entire building being condemned!

The Real Cost of Mould in Your Air Conditioner

Many types of mould that are commonly found in HVAC systems are corrosive and have been found to cause considerable damage to internal metal and insulated surfaces. In extreme cases, mould can be so severe that the unit itself ceases to function.

A case in the Northern Territory revealed that a building, which was no more than four years old, had such severe microbial contamination that it was condemned until remediation works took place. The restoration bill was in excess of $1.4 million!

After severe fungal growth has been able to lay siege to a building or it’s AC System, many components may need costly repairs or replacement. Another case in Melbourne found the building was harbouring severe fungal growth throughout its AC Systems on three floors. This cost over $80,000 to rectify.

To avoid damage and expensive repairs to your air conditioning systems, have them professionally cleaned every 6 months.

After a HydroKleen your air is fresh and healthy, reducing sickness and helping you live a healthier life.

Air Conditioner Cleaning gives Aged Citizens better quality of life!

Air Con Cleaning gives Aged Citizens a better quality of life!

Our ageing population is often struck down by pneumonia. Here are some things Aged Care Facilities and Home Owners can use to protect them.

Air Con Cleaning gives Aged Citizens a better quality of life

Bacterial Pneumonia Common Causes

Most cases of pneumonia are caused by bacteria or a virus. Pneumonia from any cause can occur at any age, but people in certain age groups are at higher risk for certain types of pneumonia.

The most common cause of bacterial pneumonia is Streptococcus pneumoniae. Haemophilus influenzae, Chlamydia trachomatis, Mycoplasma pneumoniae and Legionella pneumophila are other major bacteria that cause pneumonia.

The most common way you catch pneumonia is to breathe infected air droplets from someone who has pneumonia. Another cause is an improperly cleaned air conditioner.

Another cause of pneumonia is inhaling toxic materials. This can injure your lungs and cause chemical pneumonia.

Mould found in your air conditioner can cause some serious illnesses and aggravate asthma symptoms. The spores are blown into the room every time the air conditioner is turned on.

Bacteria from animal faeces and dead animals that can become trapped inside an air conditioner are not only an insult to your sense of smell, they also are blown in to the room every time the air conditioner is turned on.

You really never know what your loved ones are breathing in, but you can certainly help them by keeping air conditioner units clean and ensuring they filter the air efficiently.

HydroKleen are the only air conditioner cleaning company that is exclusively approved by the National Asthma Council Australia’s Sensitive Choice Program.

After a HydroKleen your air is fresh and healthy, reducing sickness and helping you live a healthier life.

The Silent Killer

by | Air Conditioning Tips

It is very important to know the signs of mould toxicity, to help you and your family stay healthy.

When you hear the word mould, the first thing you usually picture is dirty shower tiles or ceilings. However, this silent killer is everywhere and we’re ingesting and breathing it every day, without even knowing it.

Mould is not only the visible patches we can see growing in wet or damp areas of your home. Most of the mould is not visible. Undetected, it can grow under your floors, behind your walls, in your air conditioning system and even in your food. Mould likes damp and poorly ventilated spaces.

Usually, it starts with a small leak behind your shower or in your roof. Also, it appears in flooded places that have not been properly cleaned and in places such as dirty air conditioners. A highly contaminated air conditioner will need immediate replacement.

Airborne mould spores can be present in the air every day. Mould exposure shuts down your immune system and starts a cascade of diseases and conditions that can take months and even years to diagnose and cure.

Not all moulds are bad or toxic. However, there are some toxic and even lethal varieties called mycotoxins that are difficult, but not impossible to get rid of.

Mycotoxins contaminate everything around them, including everything in your home such as air conditioners, furniture, curtains, carpet and even your clothes.

Once they enter your body, mycotoxins will shut down your immune system and wreak havoc on your nervous system, brain, joints, and more. It can be the cause of many diseases, even cancer, and the damage caused by these toxins in many cases is irreversible.

According to a study published in the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture:
“Chronic mould toxicity is characterised by low-dose exposure over a long period of time, resulting in cancers and other commonly invisible effects, while acute mould toxicity has a rapid onset and an obvious toxic response.”

The symptoms of chronic exposure to mould may start as mild but as your body becomes overrun by mould, the symptoms will increase. The symptoms of mould toxicity can be very similar to the one of other conditions, such as fibromyalgia, Lyme disease, Celiac disease, which often leads to misdiagnosis. Some common symptoms of mould contamination are:
• Blurred vision
• Auto-immune problems
• Joint pain
• Fatigue
• Headaches
• Weight fluctuation
• Neurocognitive problems
• Brain fog/Confusion/Memory loss
• Mood issues
• Sleep issues
• Inflammatory problems
• Digestive problems/food sensitivities
• Numbness and tingling
• Sensitivity to light

Severe mould infestations need professional treatment, especially if your air conditioner is the culprit.
