Did you know…..

The Environmental Protection Agency and its Science Advisory Board have consistently ranked indoor air pollution among the top five environmental risks to public health?

Mattresses contain 60% of the dust mites found in the home. This would be the number one priority in treating as this is where we spend one third of our lives.

When walls, flooring, carpets or parts of your home stay wet for longer than 24 hours, mould and bacteria will grow. This can result in the release of severe allergens into your home. Mould produces mytotoxins, which have the potential to produce toxic affects to our immune system and internal organs.

Every home has dust mites. You can’t see them but they are there. They feed on our skin flakes, as we shed over half a kilogram each year.

Cockroaches are attracted to food and moisture – including crumbs, cooking grease and plain water. After dust mites, cockroaches are the second largest group of indoor allergens. It’s important to remove or tightly cover all food and water, especially at night when cockroaches are more active.

Between 75% and 90% of families with pet allergies do not take their physician’s advice and remove their pets from the home. Symptoms of pet allergies would be watery and itching eyes, hives, sneezing, coughing, wheezing and difficulty breathing.

As you can see there are many factors that can contribute to allergies and we do have the solutions. Your family’s health is our number one priority, allow us to formulate a treatment plan for you as soon as possible. Your health is everything, the longer you wait the more you could be putting yourself and your family at risk. Contact All Aces Services now on 1800 00 10 10 for your green cleaning and allergy cleaning solutions.

Carpets should always be maintained. The biggest concern I have, especially as the Commercial and Residential Coordinator, is that companies and people wait till their carpets look dirty before having them cleaned. One of my major goals at All Aces Services is to put companies on a maintenance cleaning plan.

My latest success story was a company located in Brisbane at Paddington. They booked in to have their carpets cleaned as a one off but the carpets had not been cleaned in years. We sent Jai one of our most experienced and qualified technicians to clean their carpets.

Upon cleaning the carpets it was noted that the water was coming out black! You can imagine that this not only not good for the life the carpets but nor is it very hygienic. I approached them after the carpets had been cleaned. Little to say they were horrified in realising how dirty and how unhygienic their carpets were. With the feedback from the tech we have now a maintenance plan in place to have their carpets cleaned quarterly.

It is stressful enough running a business especially with added worry of knowing when carpets, pest control, air conditioners and coffee machines etc need to be serviced. We take that worry out of it for you by putting together your own personalised maintenance plan and contacting you every 3 or 6 months to organise your maintenance clean. You will now add years of life to your carpet and know that your carpet is constantly clean and hygienic for your staff and clients.

Be sure to call All Aces Services so we can put together your own maintenance plan. Whether it is for carpets, pest control, vinyl, tiles or upholstery we do it all and at a discounted rate for 6 and 3 month contracts.  Call us now on 1800 00 1010 as we are waiting to take your call.

There are so many different vacuums on the market these days.  Ones that have bags, others that don’t.  Some that have filters, others have HEPA filters.  What does all this mean and do I really need to have one?

HEPA filters are a type of filter that is able to trap large amounts of very small particles that normal vacuum cleaners would normally puff back into the air around the home.

” True HEPA filters should be able to trap at least 99.7% of airbourne particulates of 0.3 microns or larger”.  HEPA filters help trap those small particles that can cause problems with allergy sufferers.  Dust flying through the air can trigger asthma attacks, sneezing and coughing.  By reducing the amount of airbourne particles this will help maintain cleaner air for you and your family.

By using a good vacuum with a HEPA filter, it will not only avoid nasty airbourne allergens, but will help with removing up to 70% of dry soiling out of the carpet fibres.  By giving your carpet a good vacuum every week, this will also help reduce abrasion to carpet fibres, helping prolong the life of your carpet. 

Vacuums with HEPA filters are also very beneficial with removing pet hair from the carpet.

Look into getting a HEPA filter on your vacuum, it will be a positive start to removing almost all of the negative elements from your carpet.

A fairly large firm based in the heart of the Brisbane CBD in Fortitude Valley recently contacted All Aces Services to provide a quote on cleaning their carpets and vinyl floors.  The main reason this particular firm was attracted to All Aces Services was because we specialise in green cleaning.  This particular company are in a “green” building and could only use products that were specifically anti-allergy.

We are finding that more and more consumers are opting for our Responsible Care Range.  This range is completely safe for people who are chemically sensitive or who have asthma.

Back to the firm who contacted us – to our delight they accepted our quote for vinyl cleaning and carpet cleaning.  Firstly we completed the vinyl cleaning and sealing using completely green products. One of our technicians based on the Sunshine Coast, was the technician who completed the job. The green products give just as good a result as any other product but without the potential of exacerbating allergies. The vinyl now has a new life and will never have to be stripped back again and will last them for years to come.

A bit later in the year we went back and completed the carpet cleaning.  We cleaned over 2000 sqm of carpet over 3 levels.  We sent two of our most experienced technicians.  This cleaning took 2 full days with the technicians operating two portable RAZORBACK CREED 300 DUAL HEAT SYSTEM’s constantly.  This machine has an amazing dual heat system and is the only Australian made portable machine.  The carpets had a fair amount of wear and stains and the green products worked just as well as any other chemical we could have used.

To say the least, the firm was ecstatic with the results we achieved especially using the green products.  We are now in discussions to put them on a maintenance plan to maintain the life of the hard floor and carpets.

If you have any questions about our Responsible Care Range or about how our green products work, please don’t hesitate to call us on 1800 00 1010.

When people are affected by allergies and allergens it can really affected their quality of life.  Allergies are on the increase and it is estimated that they can affect up to 40% of the population at some time.  They can cause inflammation of the eyes and nose (rhinitis), lungs (asthma) and skin (eczema).

One controllable culprit in the battle of allergens is the house dust mite.  As most people spend up to 1/3 of their life in bed it could be that their mattress is one of the causes of the problem.  As we can pay up to $10,000 for our mattresses we should look after them.  Humans are constantly shedding their skin which provides food for the dust mite and the mattress provides a warm and humid environment for dust mites to live.  No matter how clean your home is, it is likely that there will be dust mites found here.

It is recommended that mattresses should be cleaned every six months by a professional cleaner.  Using an extraction method is the best way because this will reduce allergens.  To reduce allergen irritants in between regular cleaning, a professional cleaner can also apply a neutralising spray.  This spray neutralises a protein in the dust mite faeces which is what acts as a trigger for allergies.  It is not a pesticide.

Our mattresses are contaminated with dust mites, dust mite faeces, dead skin, body oils, sweat stains etc.  The average dust mite is 0.5mm in length and is not visible to the naked eye.  Over 7000 dust mites can fit on a fingernail.  A dust mite moults several times during its life, producing 200 times its weight in waste and will lay 300 eggs.  Each mite produces 40 to 100 faeces pellets per day.  The mite’s droppings are coated in an enzymatic slimy substance which, after drying, becomes mixed with other particles forming household dust.

You should have an allergen control plan which also involves regular cleaning of your carpets and other upholstery.  To control dust mites there are other steps you can take :

1. Use of air filter devices in your rooms
2. Sheets should be washed every week using hot water
3. Pillows should be washed at least 4 times a year unless a dust mite proof cover is being used
4. Blankets should be washed on a monthly basis
5. Mattresses should be professionally cleaned every 6 months

If you follow these steps you are helping yourself and your family keep allergies and allergens under control.

Hi I’m Martin, the oldest person in the office, but what is age anyway – just a number.

I’m the Commercial and Residential Coordinator for All Aces Services and I’ve been working for Carmel, Garry and the All Aces team for 3 months.

Im qualified in Carpet and Upholstery Cleaning through the The Clean Trust / IICRC .
Over the last few months I’ve learnt a lot about our customer needs and have been able
to offer solutions to our customer’s problems, whether it’s a carpet, Rug, upholstery or tile and grout cleaning.

Recently a customer called inquiring asking if there was anything that all Aces Services
could offer allergy cleaning since she had been suffering from allergies for some time.
Her carpet was new this year and had been cleaned by another carpet cleaner 3 months ago, that she was not happy with, he left it wet and sticky with chemical.
She was also concerned that her bedroom and in particular her mattress may have been
contributing to her allergies.

I recommended to the customer that she adopt allergy cleaning with an allergen control plan and I booked an All Aces technician to clean her bedroom carpet and mattress using Responsible care allergy free cleaning products for her bedroom carpets and mattress. To follow up with a treatment of Dust mite anti-allergen on her mattress and carpet to neutralize the feaces from the dust mites, to de-nature the allergans between regular cleaning of her mattress at least every 6 months.

The All Aces Services technician also recommended the customer purchase a good quality sebo vacuum cleaner with extremely high hepa filtration system that she could trust to remove dust, dirt, polutants and allergy-causing particles without recirculating it into her living areas and performing allergy cleaning result.
