5 quick tips for a compulsive hoarder

                                     

A very basic description of a compulsive hoarder is someone unable to dispose of excess or unused things to the point where their belongings are clogging their living space.

Making a cup of tea, working in an office or sleeping in their own bed becomes impossible because the spaces designed for living in have become storehouses.

Here are some basic tips for a compulsive hoarder:

• If you have a gift for someone, give it to them in a timely manner.
• Don't buy stuff to make up for your feelings. The disorder never goes away, so when you make a purchase, think about it you really need it or will use it.
•  You are not the only one that this disorder affects. This disorder affects millions of people. You are not alone. It is best to ask for help, as this is a very difficult and stressful thing to do. It will take time, so do not give up if you can’t do a lot in one day.
• Make sure you are not stressed when you tackle the clutter. Stay relaxed. Starting early in the morning is the best time to start a project like clutter control, after you wake up refreshed.
• This is very emotional, stressful, and difficult to deal with. Challenge yourself to do more than you think you can, but do not work yourself to the point that you are unwilling to work with your disorder and other people who are trying to help you.

Hope these few points will help you to have a better and organized life in the future!

Guidelines for water damage

Water damage can strike in the form of natural disasters like floods, cyclones, hurricanes or as a result of human activities like fire fighting, broken water pipes, leakages, accidents, vandalism, etc.

Damage to property, interruption to the business affecting individuals, businesses, and insurance sectors is immense. It is crucial to restore the damaged material as early as possible to avoid high replacement costs. 

What do we need to focus on after a water emergency? 

• Identifying all affected materials & hidden pockets of water. 
• Thorough cleaning & drying of water damage affected areas & items. 
• Removal & safe disposal of damaged/dangerous items. 
• Quick response service. 
• Thorough cleaning & drying of items like upholstered furniture, carpets, rugs, etc. 
• Minimize possibility of secondary damage. 
• Minimize potential microbial growth. 
• Property restoration. 

The cleaning process includes locating, identifying, containing, removing and properly disposing of unwanted substances from an environment or material. An area is considered ‘clean’ when contaminants, pollutants and undesired substances have been removed from an environment or surface, thereby reducing damage or harm to human health or materials.

When is a building considered to be dry?

• The internal conditions are the same or better than normal room conditions.
• The moisture on and in building materials themselves will not support active growth of mould and mildew.
• The building materials and contents will finish returning to normal room conditions by themselves, without suffering further damage.
• Sanitation and odour control also needs to be looked after and brought back to normal conditions.

How to get rid of bad odour?

Urine stains are one of a pet owner's biggest headaches, particularly cat urine which has a singularly unpleasant smell and can seem to linger forever, if not treated quickly. Whatever you do, never use an ammonia-based cleaner on a urine stain caused by a pet. as the smell will attract the animal back to that spot.

If the urine stain is fresh, you can usually treat it by just rinsing it thoroughly in cold water and then washing it as normal using a biological laundry detergent if possible (same as for vomit).

If the stain is older and dried, you will need to soak the garment overnight in a weak solution of hydrogen peroxide and water and then wash as mentioned above.

Carpets are a little more difficult, in that they cannot be soaked. However, you can treat the area immediately with soda water, which should minimize the staining. Once the excess urine has been blotted up, sponge the stain with salty water and then rinse and blot dry.

Again, sprinkling bicarbonate soda onto the stain and leaving for a while before vacuuming should combat any lingering odours.

Note that urine spraying in cats is a serious problem and aside from tackling the immediate stain, you will need to consult an animal behaviourist, and perhaps treat your cat with some pheromone therapy, else you will be fighting a losing battle with cat urine and odour.

For any other serious odours, a professional service like Bio Cleanse Pty Ltd is needed to take care of stubborn odours in a professional and specialized manner.

What happens after a fire accident?

You may be anxious to clean your home after a fire, but unless you take the time to get professional advice, you may be wasting your efforts or creating further damage. Contact a professional service immediately once the fire is out. They can provide advice on restoration or replacement of damaged items. 

Why there is a need to hire a professional fire restorer? Fire restorers can prevent further damages, help determine which items can or cannot be refurbished, provide estimates and services for thoroughly cleaning and deodorizing your home. Professional services at times can be expensive, but the cost may be substantially less than the cost of replacing damaged furnishings and floors. 

Preventing Further Damage

Before hiring a professional fire restorer to do the big tasks, you can minimize further damage by following these guidelines. Before starting with the tasks you need to be sure that its safe enough to re-enter your home, ask for expert advice. Get the air moving. Open windows to ventilate areas. Install a fan to circulate  air. 

Note: If there has been substantial water damage and the weather is warm, you will probably need to keep the windows shut and run a dehumidifier. In cold weather, your heating system is operating and the cold air will usually help remove the moisture.

Dry wet items as soon as possible. Use fans and dehumidifiers to dry carpets and draperies. If not thoroughly dried, carpets and floors underneath may be quickly damaged beyond repair by mould and mildew.

Remove brass and copper items and clean them using brass or copper cleaner. Place aluminum foil or plastic food wrap under furniture legs. Remove oriental rugs or other colored rugs from wet wall-to-wall carpeting. Cover dry, clean items with plastic while repairs are in progress.

Benefits of Dry Ice Blasting

Dry ice-blasting is a form of abrasive blasting, where dry ice, the solid form of carbon dioxide, is accelerated in a pressurized air stream and directed at a surface in order to clean it. 

Dry Ice blasting is a more technical, effective and advanced way of cleaning compared to other traditional cleaning methods. 

Benefit #1: Decrease of time because of Cleaning In-Place

Typical cleaning procedures require that equipment be disassembled and moved to an assigned area for proper cleaning. That is not the case with dry ice blasting. Therefore Dry Ice Blasting saves time and helps in faster working process.

Benefit #2: Faster and More Thorough Cleaning

With dry ice blast cleaning, a superior clean can be achieved while reducing hours when compared to scrubbing with abrasive pads or wire brushes. A tremendous labor savings is accomplished.

Benefit #3: Elimination of Equipment Damage

Dry ice blasting often eliminates equipment damage. Dry ice is non-abrasive to surfaces and does not change a surface’s structure. It lifts the contaminants away. And because equipment can now be cleaned in place, potential damage from moving equipment to and from a dedicated cleaning area is also eliminated.

Benefit #4: Reduction or Elimination of Solvents

Dry ice blasting uses no solvents, but instead uses harmless CO2 pellets. This can be a critical need for certain companies in order to comply with environmental regulations or to improve worker safety.

Benefit #5: Reductions in Waste Disposal

With other cleaning methods, whether it be with solvents, sand blasting or some other means, the cleaning agent becomes a secondary contaminant and must be disposed of as toxic waste along with the primary contaminant. However, with dry ice blast cleaning because the CO2 pellet vaporizes upon contact, the only waste created is the contaminant itself. 

Benefit #6: Increased Safety

Dry ice blasting pellets are non-toxic, non-hazardous creating advantages to the environment, your employees, and production facility.
