It is time for seasonal house cleaning in Charlotte, so let’s start with the attic, and work our way down. If you are like most of us, you would rather be planning a trip for spring break. The right Charlotte house cleaning service can assist with the project so that you can free up time to head off to the coast for a week. If you play your cards right, you can clean the attic and have a yard sale that will possibly offset the costs of the trip. Cleaning the attic is not all fun and games, but it can be, if you treat it as a business enterprise for your family. Of course, cleaning the attic requires lots of protective gear. The highest concentrations of dust, dander, mildew, molds, and vermin are in the attic and the crawl space of your home. Cleaning the attic may be a solution to avoid your family’s breathing and allergy problems every spring. Cleaning and remodeling the attic will help to remove the allergens and irritants that continually seep into your main living areas through the heating and cooling systems.
Seasonal house cleaning in Charlotte with common sense
Start by using common sense and protective equipment. You will need to vacuum the area with a HEPA filter vacuum cleaner. HEPA vacuum systems are designed to filter the vacuumed air through a medium that is designed to remove microscopic particles. Vacuum or dust the walls, window frames, rafters, and ceiling. Vacuum exposed roof trusses, ceiling fans, skylights, light bulbs, fixtures, hatches, and door frames. You will need to wear gloves and a National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) mask, which is designed to filter airborne particles. If you suffer from asthma or severe allergies, it is best to hire a professional cleaning service to remove the debris and perform the cleaning.
Keep your attic mold and mildew free
After you have cleaned the attic, you must take steps to prevent mold growth. You will also need to and to seal out insects and vermin. Mold is the result of growth of microorganisms from small roof leaks and moisture that seeps in behind old caulking. Walk through your attic to check for leaks in your roof. Check all of the windows to see if there is any missing caulking or cracked panes. If you detect mold infestation, call an indoor air quality professional who can assess your situation.
