Pristine Vapors or Near

Healthy air is important to all of us both at home, work and our world over all. Allergy sufferers can provide a good indication of the air quality. How can one start a home business helping to clean air?

Poor indoor air quality (IAQ) aka indoor environmental quality (IEQ) can be managed easily with the use of a HVAC (Heating, Ventilating, and Air Conditioning) system which will provide continuous air flow and exchange or smaller HEPA air filtration units. Air is exchanged and flowing therefore preventing build up and removing dust mites, mold, viruses or fungi, which we know are not healthy for our respiratory systems.

Furniture, carpets and any soft surfaces are also places that can capture dust mites, mold, viruses and fungi. Humans shed dead skin cells quite regularly which is the food for dust mites. They have a three month life span and leave ‘droppings’ which triggers allergic reactions. These will accumulate wherever we lay and sit the most. I don’t even want to look through a microscope to imagine this scene, do you?

Home management as we are quite aware includes cleaning. This would be a specialized home business service that a person could enter and become quite valuable to their customers. Starting a vapor steam cleaning service would provide the further benefits of maintaining healthy indoor air quality next to the HVAC system. A service that would be greatly appreciated by both residential and commercial customers.

A detailed business plan will provide you with the information you will need to start up this specialized home service. This could also be used for starting a 'Car Valet' steam cleaning business. Use of a Vapor steam machine is best to use for the following reasons;

– Water, uses only tap water and NO detergents or harsh chemicals, safe for sensitive allergies
– Low moisture, the low moisture content begins to evaporate almost immediately
– Dry steam, extremely hot, sanitizes and kills dust mites, mold, viruses and fungi on contact
– Surfaces, can be used to clean all sorts of surfaces, just check for heat sensitivity first

The costs for a Vapor steam machine is high but the benefits to provide this service for the customers health, is even greater. This business can be set up to provide a servicing schedule for repeat customers, operate seasonally or periodically, full or part time, day or night hours, residential or commercial, choice to use a crew and still work from home.

Disadvantages in this business may be situations such as ; with use of a crew, collecting payment upon billing, people view cleaners as low status therefore important to provide a professional image (remember Molly maid services?) . Income is limited by the number of hours you can work in a day or night.

Lease or rent of a Vapor steam machine may be the best option to use at the start of this business until there is enough funds to buy the equipment outright. Use of the smaller home steamer do not have such high temperatures to guarantee sanitizing and full removal of dust mites, mold, viruses and fungi. Use of the wet/dry steam machines risk providing moisture beds for mold to take hold as this system leaves surfaces wet and uses detergents or chemicals. A Vapor steam machine will only require a regular vacuuming after steaming to remove loosened dirt and debris. Which cleaning would you prefer?

Other factors to consider are in areas of the possibility to be bonded if providing services to commercial offices, extra pay can be gleaned from working with other steam cleaners (networking), and importance of maintaining communications such as a pager or answering machine or service so you don’t miss prospective customers. It’s a business that can be started easily with a good business plan, determination and a van. Healthy air is a concern to everybody and especially at home and work. Read related —> here and there .
