Bed Bug Inspection Tips:

Look in any place that offers darkness, isolation and protection to the bed bug.
Inspect adjoining rooms where an infestation is found. Even when the bed bugs themselves cannot be found, their hiding places can be located by looking for the spots of f***l material they often leave.

Use an Insecticide Aerosol such as CB-80 or PT 565 to flush the bed bugs out of suspected hiding places OR CALL 07032311332 TO GET THEM ALL KILLED BY FAMOUS CLEANING SOLUTIONS

10 reasons why you need professional home cleaning that will blow your mind and make you give it a try

1. Do it for yourself
At the end of a hard day’s job, all you need to do is relax in a very serene and clean home to reflect on your day and clear your head, not walk into a cluttered and filthy home which is capable of destabilizing you and making you less useful to yourself for the rest of the day. Professional cleaners help clean your home in your presence or absence so as to help free up your time for more productive and rewarding activities such as spending time with friends and families.

2. Do it for your time – It saves time
Cleaning your home alone can take hours which may not be thorough because any type of cleaning can be very stressful. Professional home cleaning companies mobilize their team to finish up cleaning faster and leave your home sparkling clean in no time. Your time is worth more than the amount you will spend on cleaning.

3. Do it for your security
Unverified cleaners can pose security risk
You do not want to open your home to just any quack that may have access to your personal information and use it for the wrong reasons such as robbery, kidnap etc. Hiring a professional home cleaning company will eliminate security risk because companies do background checks on their cleaners and can be held accountable for any mishap.

4. Do it for your pocket – save some money
The types of cleaning chemicals and equipment that can do a perfect cleaning job are expensive to own and why should you own cleaning equipment when it just occupies space and would not be operated for most part of the year and may also require maintenance from time to time. Professional cleaners got your back; just hire them when the need arises. Also why hire a maid full time if all you need is home cleaning? Save your money and hire professional cleaners when your home cleaning is due. Most cleaning companies offer subscription packages at a discounted rate based on frequency of cleaning to help save you some money

5. Do it for your spouse
Your spouse has been doing the cleaning week on week, all year round and now it’s time to give him/her a break. Give your spouse a nice treat by declaring a cleaning-free month by hiring professional cleaners to fill in the gap. It could be a wedding anniversary month or a birth month. At some point in one’s life, everyone deserves to sit back to be the recipient of a nice treat; it really feels good.

6. Do it for your little children
Those wonderful bundles of joy; how they love to explore in the most unlikely places in the home. Professional cleaners are thorough with their job and when you have a perfectly cleaned home, you can be sure of the safety of your babies even when they lurk in hidden corners to do their business where your eyes cannot reach sometimes. Children love to put stuff in their mouths whether edible or not but with a clean floor, you can guarantee their crawling experience will be germs-free. Laying them in bed all the time is not the answer to preventing them from diseases as this will deter their development. Hire professional cleaners to do the job.

FUMIGATION SAFETY TIPS

Homeowners preparing to remove insects such as spiders, ants, and termites through fumigation must take precautions before introducing harmful chemicals into their homes. Take time to learn about the dangers of fumigating your home. Below, you'll find three basic fumigation safety tips, along with detailed steps you should take in preparation.
1. Prepare

Because of the dangers associated with fumigation, preparation is one of the most important factors in guarding against potential health hazards related to exposure of chemicals and gases. There are many precautions homeowners preparing to fumigate should take prior to the professionals arriving.

Make sure you have a place to stay for a couple days before fumigation is set to begin so you will have plenty of time to prep the home without disturbing your daily lives. This way, almost all your tasks can be done a day or two in advance.

Remove or seal in Nylofume bags any food, medications, or dental products that might be exposed to gases; this includes candy and chewing gum and foods in refrigerators and freezers. Also remove or bag open soda bottles, alcoholic beverages with seals broken, or open cans of pet food. Empty ice in icemakers as well since this will also be contaminated.

Open all plastic bags or plastic covers containing clothes, furniture, mattresses as these will slow how quickly the fumigant aerates.

There are a lot of things you will want to remove from the home altogether. These include all potted or hanging plants, jewelry, furs, scuba wet suits, vehicles in an attached garage, and of course, all people and pets.

After sealing and removing everything you need, open drawers, cupboards, and closet doors prior to fumigation, as well as any locked safes, vaults, lockers, and cabinets.

The day before fumigation, do one last check of the home to be sure everything inside is set. Then, turn off all AC units and call your gas company to have them cut the supply to your house altogether. Lastly, water any dry dirt 12 inches or more from the house foundation to help protect the plants surrounding the tent from fumes.

It will not be necessary to wash dishes or bedding exposed to fumigation gases. Nor will it be necessary to remove makeup, soaps, detergents, etc. These items, even when used after exposure to fumigation gasses, are not likely to cause you harm.
2. Ventilate the Fumigated Area Upon Return

When the fumigation period has passed, usually 15 to 30 hours, you should air out your house. This means all windows and doors should be opened. Fans should be used to exhaust chemical fumes that remain after initial fumigation. You should also take steps to ensure that a qualified person measures the levels of chemical fumes that may remain inside the house.
3. Watch for Fumigation Chemical Exposure Symptoms

Watch for symptoms of over-exposure to fumigation gases during and after fumigation, such as nausea, headaches, coughing, breathing difficulties, double vision, dizziness, and fatigue. People who have been exposed to these gases and who experience any of these symptoms should seek immediate medical attention.

Whether you choose to fumigate your own home or hire professionals, take all the precautions mentioned above to protect your family, pets, and plants that might otherwise be harmed.
Termite Shield

A termite shield is a shield which is usually manufactured using galvanized steel and placed on or in the foundation. It is used for the purpose of preventing termites from getting into the main structure.

Why a Termite Shield is Important

A termite shield is important because they provide a good level of protection for the main superstructure of the building from termites. Failure to protect the superstructure from termites can result in any number of consequences due to the overall damage that termites can inflict on wood. They also offer the benefit of being pesticide free so there is no potential for them to cause problems to anyone occupying the structure.

How is a Termite Shield Installed?

A termite shield is generally installed as physical barriers between the structure and the foundation. They are used most commonly where wood would come directly in contact with the foundation. This helps to provide a barrier which termites cannot pe*****te, offering the structure a reasonably good amount of protection from termites.

How to Check for Bed Bugs
By: Jenelle Jones

It is time for summer vacations, which means you will likely be staying in a hotel room at some point. The last thing you want on a fun-filled trip with your family is to deal with is your children (or yourself) waking up covered in bites.

Knowing how to check for bed bugs before your lay your head on the pillow can save you from a pesky situation.
Step 1 — Know Your Enemy

In order to best check for bed bugs, it helps to know some of the basics about these critters.

Like many small pests, they reproduce quickly, so a full-blown infestation can occur just as quickly. These guys are about the size of an apple seed and similar in color. Young ones can be white or clear, and eggs look like tiny grains of rice. If they have not fed recently, they will be flat with and oval-like shape. After they have recently fed, they become more plump and round. They also produce a musty-sweet smell.

Of course, places that are less clean are more susceptible, but even the cleanest establishment can become infested. Much like how in school all it takes is one child with lice to spread them to the whole class, all it takes is one guest to carry in the vermin to cause a major problem.

Unlike ticks and mosquitoes, these guys are not known to transmit diseases. But like these other common pests, they do feed on human blood and cause skin irritation. While they do not pose the same health risks, they are linked to other public health issues. Honestly, they are considered to be more of a nuisance than anything else.
Step 2 — Know Where to Look

These pests hide in more places than just under the sheets. Surprisingly, you can find them lurking in clothing stores as well. So, you can see that this is not something that is limited to hotels or where you lay your head at night. These expert hiders can be found embedded deep in a mattress or hidden behind a painting on a wall.

If you are checking for bed bugs, be sure to check between the sheets, under the covers, in the pillow case, under the sheets, between the mattress and box spring, behind the headboard, around the nightstand, underneath anything on the stand, and behind anything that is hanging on the wall. It is also possible that they could be concealing themselves in other upholstered furniture, towels, or linens.

You can purchase interception devices or monitors. This is the next best thing to hiring a professional. The downside is that it takes time because you need to leave these devices in place for a few days or weeks, checking on them every few days. On the bright side, this will allow you to make a positive identification after trapping one.
Step 3 — Know the Other Signs

Often, people do not see any of the critters while they are checking for bed bugs, but rather see other evidence of their presence.

These creepy-crawlies are often discovered after someone wakes up with bites that they did not have before going to bed. They also leave behind f***l matter, which can be found around the infected area. You will see dark spots about the size of a dot.

You may also find shed skin, eggs, or eggshells. These will be a yellowish or white color. One other possibility is rusty or reddish stains that come from the pests being crushed.
How Can You Avoid Them?

There are some precautions you can take before you even begin to check for bed bugs. These critters like to travel just like your luggage, by way of the valet. Unless you plan on inspecting it, it is probably best to skip it all together.

In general, you want to avoid setting your suitcase on any upholstered furniture. That is one of the most common ways vacationers bring uninvited guests back to their homes.

These guys love clutter. Keeping the clutter to a minimum will give them one less place to seek refuge. Try keeping your dirty clothes in a plastic bag, and keep your belongings separate from anyone else you may be staying with, especially if you do not know them.

You can also create barriers with casings. Many mattress and pillow protectors will keep out many allergens, including these pests. It is important to read the packaging, though.

Vacuuming (including inside your suitcase) and regular household cleaning are also good precautionary measures you should be taking.

While you may now feel highly qualified to check for bed bugs, they can be stealthy. If you do suspect you have an infestation, it is best to have a professional come and inspect. They will also be able to ensure the problem is taken care of in the most efficient way. You should speak to the concierge immediately if you are in a room that is infected and request a new room.

Fumigation Defined
It is a process where a fumigant which is a chemical at required temperature and pressure can exist in a gaseous state in sufficient concentration which will be lethal to given pest organism. This definition implies that a fumigant act as gas in the strictest sense of the word. (Munro 1961)

Why Fumigation is necessary?

Transporting goods in ships and aircrafts between countries using containers is an economic and well established practice. Fumigation becomes necessary in order to keep away exotic pests and diseases entering into the country while permitting reasonably rapid clearance of containers. Timber insects pose a significant Quarantine risk in all countries and accordingly all wooden packing material used in the export packing should be fumigated. By carrying out fumigation at the port of loading clearance of the container at the discharge port can be done without any infestation problem.

How Infestation happens in Export cargo?

Fumigation of export cargo becomes very essential because there are possibilities of hidden infestation in the cargo. Infestation of cargo can happen due to following factors.

(a) High moisture level in the cargo
(b) The place where cargo has been stored prior to shipment
(c) During the time of transit Infestation may occur due to previous residues that would be present in cargo, container and ship holds that would affect the cargo significantly.

The infestation rapidly develops during the voyage period and when cargo reaches the port of discharge it is re-fumigated again at the cost of exporter or the buyer. It is always good to carry out fumigation prior to export to avoid huge fumigation expenditure and handling cost at the port of discharge.

As it is said “Prevention is better than cure”, it is necessary to follow good sanitation and scientific storage methods for maintaining the cargo in sound condition prior to export.

Fumigation operation is effective and a better option than any other methods of pest control because in fumigation process the fumigant circulates and spreads to all areas of infestation whereas spraying operation or other methods of pest control will be less effective.

Another important thing that needs attention is treatment of packing material since untreated packing materials are prone to infestation and become carriers for introducing new pests to other Countries. Therefore wooden packing material should be treated prior to export.

Fumigation is carried out mainly with two types of fumigants, methyl bromide & phosphine.

Top 12 Most Common Laundry Questions Answered

Here they are, the dirty dozen. The 12 most commonly asked laundry questions. Oh sure, I get the occasional oddball question about removing kangaroo blood from a shirt or how to dye a wedding dress hot pink. But most of the questions fall into a more common list of day-to-day laundry issues:

1. How do I brighten my dingy white clothes and linens?

Over time white clothes and linens can become dingy or yellowed from redeposited soil, dye transfer from other garments, missed stains and even using too much bleach. The key to keeping white clothes is looking bright is preventing them from discoloring in the first place.

But what if it is too late and they are already dull, gray or yellowed? Most can be revived with a bit of effort and the right products.

2. How do I remove set-in stains that have been washed and dried?

It's happened to all of us, a stain slips by and the clothes are washed and dried before the stain is discovered. Is it too late?

Removing a set-in stain is more difficult because the heat of a dryer binds the stain more tightly to the fabric fibers. Begin by following the original tips for removing the stain. Give the stain remover plenty of time to work. Don't rush through the steps.

If that doesn't work, mix a solution of oxygen-based bleach (OxiClean, Country Save Bleach and Purex 2 Color Safe Bleach are brand names) and cool water. Follow the package directions as to how much product per gallon of water. Completely submerge the stained item and allow it to soak for at least eight hours. Check the stain. If it is gone, wash as usual. If it remains, mix a fresh solution and repeat. It may take several soakings to remove the stain but this method is your best bet for success.

3. How can I prevent fading of my dark clothes?

Prevention is the key to keeping dark clothes dark. Follow these tips and your clothes will look better much longer.

If you haven't been diligent in preventing fading, there is only one way to return your clothes to their original color - dye them. Adding coffee to the rinse water to keep black clothes black won't work!

However, adding a cup of white distilled vinegar to the rinse cycle will help remove detergent residue which dulls fabric. It will also relax the fibers of the clothes so lint doesn't adhere as badly. Lint definitely dulls the look of a garment.

4. How do I remove dye transfer from clothes?

Dye transfer happens. A lone red sock hides in a load of white clothes. Careless sorting (learn how to do it correctly) turns a yellow shirt into a blue jean-tinged pea green. Removing the dye stains takes a bit of time but these tips will work for both white and colored clothes that now look tie-dyed.

5. How do I remove yellow armpit stains?

The yellow underarm stains that happen on white clothes are caused by a reaction of normal body oils and salts from perspiration and the ingredients in deodorants and antiperspirants. The stains actually happen on dark shirts as well, you just can't see the staining as prominently. Follow these tips to remove armpit stains and odor from clothes.

As a preventative measure, always keep distilled white vinegar on hand in the laundry room. Give shirts a quick spritz under the arms before washing to lessen odor and residue build-up.

6. How do I remove ink stains from clothes and leather?

The key to ink stain removal is knowing what type of ink caused the damage. It also depends on the type of fabric as to your success.

7. Why won't my washer/dryer work?

First, let me say that I'm no appliance repair expert. But I have done a few repairs and my father could fix just about anything. He might have a few extra parts left over but it worked! I get lots of questions about washers and dryers that don't work so I do have a few tips and some information that will help.

8. I think my washer is staining my clothes. What can I do?

While laundry appliances have come a long way since that rock beside the stream, it is still our responsibility to be sure a washer produces its best results. It's a bit like driving a car. Sometimes the car malfunctions, sometimes it is the driver that misuses the car.

9. How do I clean my washer and dryer?

Front loading washers can develop odors if moisture or detergent residue becomes trapped in the machine. The same thing can happen to top loaders and in both models, automatic dispensers can become clogged. A clean machine is the first step to clean laundry. Neglecting a dryer can result in more than laundry problems, it can cause fires that destroy homes.

10. How do I remove odors from clothes?

Most fabric, just by its very nature, is absorbent. It absorbs moisture and odors - perspiration, smoke, perfume, cooking and musty odors. Odor removal steps depends on the origin of the odor and the fabric content of the clothes.

11. How do I remove grease stains?

Greasy stains can come from cooking oil, salad dressings or motor oil. All of these require the same treatment with an enzyme-based stain remover, warm or hot water and heavy duty detergent.

But what about those grease stains that seem to appear after clothes are washed and dried? Those are not really grease stains but are actually a build-up of fabric softener or residue from dryer sheets.

12. How do I remove brown spots on vintage fabric?

Vintage baby clothes, quilts and table linens hold a special place in our hearts. It is so disappointing to find brown spots that spoil the overall look. These stains can be caused by leftover food or body soil stains on the fabric or reactions between the fabric with wood acids. No matter the cause, we still want to see them gone.

Be it from underwear to shirts to suits to evening dresses, and even curtains and bed linens, they will do the necessary washing, ironing and even dry cleaning for you. For some laundry services, you do not even have to go and collect it, and they will deliver it right up to your doorstep! Fees will vary according to the material or fabric of the laundry you send in, and for other things such as curtains and soft toys and the likes, there may be different fee structure charges of them. Also, the cost of it may increase or decrease with the number of articles you send in, they type of cleaning and washing required, and delivery charges as well. Some companies are willing to do it for free so it is always good to do research on the laundry services in Singapore to compare and shop around for the best rates available.

So what are the advantages of a laundry service? Well, there are a few benefits to using the laundry service. First and foremost, it frees more time up for you. In Singapore’s fast pace society, time is of the essence and with many people becoming white collar workers and being busy professionals, people simply do not have the luxury of time to do laundry for themselves anymore. A great way to squeeze more time is to outsource the work to a laundry service. Imagine all the time you can do instead of washing them, hanging them out to dry and even ironing them. In exchange for doing the laundry for you, you pay a fee for it. A simple transaction to gain that extra time for yourself instead of spending your own time after work cleaning your own laundry.

Secondly, a laundry service specializes in the cleaning of laundries and thus, they will have comparative advantage over you in cleaning. This means that they will do a better job at cleaning your laundry than you as this is what they do for a business while you do not. Furthermore, you do not have to worry about your clothes not being clean as they will be able to do a good job. If not, there are guarantees in place and you are able to take it up with the laundry services.

Despite the apparent benefits of using the laundry service, some may scoff at the idea and may find it expensive or may find doing laundry service a form of therapy and relaxation for oneself. It depends on the individual and more often than not, it is the busy people who use the laundry services.
