Dust Mites
Dust
mites are far too small to be seen with the human eye. Dust mites are the
single most common allergen that people inhale in their home. These
microscopic animals, which are found in dust, produce a common allergen.Dust
mites, although much smaller, belong to the same family as spiders and ticks.
Over 22 million Americans are allergic to mite residue that is small enough to
be airborne. When disturbed by vacuuming with a standard vacuum, they and
their fecal dust may remain airborne for up to 10 minutes in your home's
interior air. Even walking across your carpet will disturb their fecal
pellets. The membrane that covers the outside of these pellets doesn't break
down quickly - which means the pellets may keep their allergy causing
potential for months.
Our Process
We open access ports or doors to allow the entire system to be cleaned and inspected.
The vacuum equipment exhausts particles outside of the home using HEPA vacuuming exuipment.
We use well-controlled brushing of duct surfaces in conjunction with contact vacuum cleaning to dislodge dust and other particles.
Dust and debris are pulled through the vacuum hose and into the powerful vacuum system.
The "EC" Duct Cleaning Vacuums feature a unique three-stage filtration system. The first stage of filtration is a 40% four-ply cube filter. This is where the bulk of the material is collected.
The second stage of filtration is a 60% pleated filter. This filter traps the finer particles which escape the first stage of filtration, protecting and prolonging the life of the HEPA filter.
The third stage of filtration is a HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) filter which is 99.97% effective @ 0.3 micron particles. Each filter is individually DOP Tested and certified to meet or exceed OSHA, EPA, and NADCA Standards for cleaning the air of toxic and nuisance dust.
The powerful backward inclined blower and motor assemblies (2 in the EC5000) create a powerful combination of airflow and static pressure.
Absolute clean air is returned to the environment.
The Need For Sanitation
After
the cleaning process is complete, we recommend using a sanitizer and
deodorizer. We offer two different products, both registered with the EPA, EnviroCon™
and Oxine®.
Both of these products have been tested and proven to be effective.
Bacteria, mold, mildew, fungi and yeast are everywhere in our daily
environment. The condensation which forms on the cooling coils, drip pan and
duct work of air handling systems creates an ideal environment for the growth
of these microorganisms. When applied to a precleaned system, Oxine®
is extremely effective in reducing the harmful potential associated with
this microbial contamination.
Dirt, dust, mold, pollen, and animal dander are recirculated through our air ducts every time we turn on our heat or air conditioner. Combined with moisture, you have the ideal breeding ground for fungi, germs, and household mold. Studies have confirmed that some diseases, including salmonella, strep, and legionnaires disease are spread by contaminated air ducts.
About
Envirocon
Microbial Control
For many allergy sufferers, microbial growth in the air handling system can
significantly aggravate or even initiate an allergic response. For this reason
we have developed EnviroConTM, an EPA registered Bacteriostat,
Fungistat, Germistat and All-purpose Deodorizer. EnviroConTM
may be used wherever air needs to be treated or on the cooling
coils, drip pans and other associated air conditioning parts and duct work,
including all indoor environments. It not only controls the growth of
microorganisms, but eliminates the unpleasant odors that are the result of
this microbial growth.
Deodorization
The powerful active ingredient in EnviroConTM oxidizes odors
associated with bacteria, mold, mildew, smoke, animals, etc. in the air and in
air handling units. EnviroConTM does not cover up or mask
the odor with alcohol or perfumes. It eliminates the source of the odor,
leaving your air fresh and clean. EnviroConTM is available
in unscented form or with a light mint scent.
Toxicity &
Safety
The most significant feature of EnviroConTM is the low
toxicity and safety of the product. EnviroConTM has been
assigned an acute toxicity rating of Category III by the EPA. This requires
the EnviroConTM label to carry only a precautionary
statement of "Caution". By comparison, a Category I rating
denoting the highest acute toxicity, requires a "Danger"
statement while a Category II rating requires a "Warning"
statement. In addition, EnviroConTM is not an aerosol and
contains no environmentally damaging propellants or flammable ingredients. EnviroConTM
treatments may be applied to occupied spaces.
Application
EnviroConTM may be used in
all building HVAC systems -- residential, commercial, industrial and health
facilities. It is easily applied with the use of a hand held fogger or air
driven sprayer. All HVAC surfaces should be pre-cleaned prior to application.
To control odors associated with bacteria, mold, mildew, animals, smoke, etc.,
thoroughly spray the source of odor with EnviroConTM and
spray a light mist in the air. For year round maintenance of the HVAC system,
residential homes and apartment complexes should be treated as needed.
Commercial and industrial buildings and health care facilities should be
treated every month to ensure effective environmental control.
