September 22nd, 2021 was the Autumnal Equinox. This is usually symbolized by the setting out of Halloween and Fall decorations, bringing out the seasonal clothing because the weather is getting colder, and…harvesting the crops. If you are like me and my family, that means an extra allergy pill and windows shut even though the air is crisp and cool with a slight breeze throughout the day.
This is not only the perfect time to get that summer funk out of your carpet from the kids being home all summer and let’s face it, most of last Spring (thank you COVID) but it is a perfect time to get those pesky allergens out of your air ducts.
Cleaning Air Ducts reduces the allergens that are in your house! Our system uses negative air pressure combined with a positive pressure air whip line to dislodge all the particulates in the air ducts. These particulates are then sucked through a 10 inch house into our gas powered vacuum. That’s a lot of suction!
When should you clean your air ducts? Whenever you feel they need to be cleaned. You are the one living in your home. We cater to you. At King’s Cleaning Solutions, we suggest every 5-10 years, every time you have your house remodeled, after damage (caused by mold or fire), or when you move into a “new” house.
Whether you have a dog that sheds like crazy (thanks Bear!) or you live in the middle of a field that is being harvested; call us to clean your air ducts anytime thought out the year! Anything you can sit or stand on, we can clean! Call King’s Cleaning Solutions today at (765) 698-5096 or (888) 629-5464.
Guests are fun; however, cleaning up after guests? Not fun.
After allowing the glasses of red wine to freely flow accidents are prone to happen! This accident might be on your luscious white carpet. You then make the choice that it is time to break up with carpet.
It will get ripped out after the new year arrives and you make the choice that you will NEVER replace it.
But wait, before you rip it out, imagine your house without any carpet whatsoever. Is that truly what you want? Here us out while we give you three great reasons to keep your carpet:
Carpet is a Good Sound Barrier
With hard surfaces, you are going to hear the clickity-clack of cats and dogs nails sliding around hard surfaces, footsteps of heels or boots all throughout your home, and voices are going to carry farther because there is not any carpeting to act as a sound barrier.
Keeping children in bed while you are attempting to do something else or listening to giggles from your daughter’s sleepovers may become a new challenge.
Health
Even though you may not like to consider it, carpets do trap dust. (One other reason why you may want to think about getting them cleaned).
On the other hand, hard surfaces do not trap dust.
Instead, the dust bounces off onto all nearby items – shelves, toys, furniture, etc.
It will require consistent maintenance to dust and sweep to keep your home clean and free of dust.
It’s particularly important to remember if you have members of the family who are sensitive to allergens and dust.
Ambiance
There isn’t any denying that there is a certain bit of coziness while walking into a room with carpet.
It is a permanent blanket on your floor, inviting folks to sit and talk, play with the children, or hang out with the dog.
Plus, it is a lot more comfortable sitting down on clean carpeting than hard surfaces.
Okay, so maybe carpeting isn’t that bad after all. Perhaps it’s worth keeping around!

Bleach spots happen once a bleaching agent comes into contact with your carpet. When the bleach merges with the dye inside the carpet, the bleach breaks the dye down until the color fades away. When an expert assesses a spot of bleach they’re searching for the level of bleaching along with how soiled the carpet is. Before the bleach spot or spots can be dyed, the carpets will have to be thoroughly cleaned. Carpets are going to have soil and additional contaminants inside the carpet which must be removed before carpets may be redyed. Once the space is clean, step two includes seeing if the carpet is going to require more bleaching. Once there’s a bit of discoloration and not a white spot that’s a bit yellow in color, there’s still a little dye inside the carpet.
Bleach Neutralizer for Carpets
When all the pigment is removed, step three involves neutralizing the bleach. Bleach stays active in your carpets for lengthy time periods. For the dye to properly adhere to the fibers in the carpet, the bleach has to be first removed from the carpeting. Oftentimes, many do-it-yourself bleach spot repairs don’t work because the bleach never is neutralized properly, if at all. In order to ensure high-quality repairs the spots of bleach get treated using a bleach neutralizer then rinsed clean.
Is It Possible to Dye a Carpet’s Bleach Spots?
Now the spot of bleach is prepared to receive the dye. The dye professional prepares by blending a matching dye formula. The color of the dye has to be
recreated. Thankfully, a carpet dye expert is up for that challenge. When the dye formula is created, the dyes get applied to the carpet and gradually mixed into the fibers of the carpet. When repaired properly, a bleach spot may be repaired in a timely fashion depending upon the number or size of bleach spots on your carpet. With expert bleach spot repairs it’s possible to reclaim the carpets.
One important thing that you should keep in mind is that carpet dyeing is an art and requires extensive practice and training to master it. It’s recommended that you pick a certified carpet dyeing technician like King’s Cleaning Solutions so that they’re able to make your carpet appear as good as new.

Sure. We know you clean the lint trap when you do your laundry drying. Have you considered having the vents cleaned? If you have not, here is why we recommend doing it.
1. Improved efficiency – Dryers work better when the air flow is unobstructed. We clean out the lint and obstructions to make sure your dryer is at peak performance. An overworked dryer will not only take longer to dry clothes, but the life of the appliance is shortened significantly.
2. Safety – Dryer lint is one of the most flammable substances in the home. It does not require much to spark and catch fire. In fact, most home fires start in the laundry room. Keeping the vents clean protects your home from accidents like fire.
3. Carbon monoxide – Odorless, this gas can kill you. The gas deprives the brain of oxygen, rendering you unconscious as you asphyxiate. Gas dryers emit carbon monoxide into the atmosphere, but blocked vents can back the gas up into the home. Early warning signs include dizziness and lightheadedness. Commercial detectors are available and should be in the home if there is a gas dryer.
4. Critters – Small animals love lint for nesting. Birds love it as well. Homes and dryers do not like either taking residence. Keep these both at a minimum with clean vents.
Lastly, we know there are many who will recommend you do this yourself and save the money. We always recommend against doing this. Kings has the tools, technicians and equipment to do the job right. If there is a mistake, we have the insurance to cover it. If you make the mistake, you are on the hook for it.
Call us today if you feel your dryer vents need a solid cleaning.
After decades of operating your heating and AC system, your air ducts gather a ton of hair, dust, soot, dirt and mildew, among additional contaminates. These annoying contaminants eventually enter the nooks and crannies of a system. From that point, they’ll move throughout the air and also make their way inside the carpeting, upholstery, and furniture fibers. Build-up of dust inside the air ducts, filter, as well as all air handling elements of the AC unit. This will impact the air that your loved ones breath, and potentially can lead to irritation to the ones who have respiratory problems. A great way to decrease the dust circulation and accumulation may be as simplistic as regularly changing your filters however, for better results, have an expert duct cleaning provider clean the air conditioning systems and ducts. Cleaning a heating and air conditioning system is an important aspect of having a healthier, as well as cleaner home atmosphere. King’s Cleaning Solutions Duct Cleaning Advantages
Here, we list the five main advantages of duct cleaning you should not overlook as you consider your home’s indoor air quality, particularly as far as air conditioning, cooling, and heating are concerned. Duct Cleaning Will Improve Air Quality Indoors Mold, allergens, pollutants, and contaminants usually settle along ductwork and air vents as they’re transported through your air ducts and ventilation system. Although the majority of ductwork systems also have air filters, not all of these contaminants might be contained by the filters. Routine air duct cleaning has been proven to improve quality of indoor air because it improves airflow and decreases the quantity of debris inside the ductwork which might be transported inside indoor environments via the air. Duct Cleaning Decreases Air Pollution Hazards and Promotes Indoor Health
Mold, radon, smoke, tobacco, and kitchen fumes are some of the most typical indoor pollutants, which may intensify the more as combined with increased humidity. Allergens, viruses, mold spores, and dust particles carried through the air from your air ducts may make the matter even worse. In cleaning the ducts of your home, you actually significantly decrease the opportunity of indoor pollution as well as promote health, since the process of duct cleaning eliminates some contaminants and pollutants, thereby making the air breathed in less contaminated with allergens and fresher. This also promotes indoor health.
Boosts Indoor Comfort
Dirty or clogged air ducts may impact the performance of your HVAC system. But air duct cleaning eliminates clogged debris and boosts air flow, which actually can increase the effectiveness of your system. In turn, this boost indoor comfort as far as air conditioning, cooling, and heating is concerned.
Can Decrease AC Costs
As the air ducts are cleaned and less clogged, the AC and heating system will struggle less to generate the desired temperatures inside the house. This might mean less intake of energy, particularly as airflow is improved within the process of air duct cleaning, in other words, cleaning your ductwork may increase energy efficiency, improve performance, and decrease conditioning costs as the lesser the HVAC unit struggles, the less likely it will be to break down, which additionally means decreased HVAC repair expenses within its lifetime.
Increases the Longevity of the HVAC System
As a cooling and heating system experiences an issue in terms of air flow, it usually works harder to perform as it’s required or generate the preferred temperature conditions. Obviously, this has an impact upon its durability and functionality as the rate of wear and tear rises.

So what is dryer vent cleaning, you ask? Let’s take a look!
Your home’s HVAC system pumps hot and cool air via ducts. These ducts are made of a flexible aluminum material wrapped around a spiral. This way, the duct material can twist and turn as needed. Dust and dirt can build up inside the duct system and cause serious health problems in addition to potential fire hazards. Most homes that have a washer and dryer have a smaller duct system – the dryer vent. Build-up can occur in these ducts as well, but there is the potential for a much more serious problem – a home fire.
You know what lint is. You clean your lint trap each time you use the dryer for your clothes. Lint can back up into the dryer proper, frequently because of poor ventilation and dirty ducts. Here the lint comes in contact with the heating element and ignite into a fire. The most modern and high tech dryers can catch fire, so keeping the ducts free of lint is paramount.
Those who have gas dryers stand another chance of a serious issue. Carbon Monoxide, CO, is an odorless gas that can be fatal. Even low levels of CO can cause symptoms that mimic flu and cause severe dizziness and nausea.
It is common for some municipalities to require duct cleaning on a regular basis. Many home insurance companies add this as a part to their policies and require documentation of cleaned ducts. King’s Cleaning Solutions will be glad to schedule a duct inspection and cleaning for the optimal operation of your home dryer. Even if this is not an absolute requirement, having your ducts cleaned regularly will mean a more efficient drying cycle. This saves the big three: time, money and energy.
