What Exactly is Anti-Microbial Sanitation?
You know that feeling you get when you do some really deep cleaning around your home? It almost feels like you could eat off the floor. Of course, you never would but you know the feeling. Having a super clean home just makes you feel better. The problem is, unless you cover every area in your home, including the ones you can’t see, then there could always be something else lurking.
That is often the problem with your air ducts. You can’t see them, but they are a big part of your home and they are often very dirty, as dust, pollutants, allergens and other debris builds up over time. Sometimes that can lead to some nasty smells and even mold. Even worse, sometimes animals get into your ductwork and end up dying there, leaving nasty bacteria, among other things.
If you’ve noticed something awful coming from your air vents, then you might have something nasty going on deep within your air ducts. That’s when it’s a good time to contact Better Air Northwest for a duct cleaning and an anti-microbial sanitation. This valuable service goes beyond the typical duct cleaning.

Air quality is important in any environment, especially in a working environment where employers need to be aware of their employees’ health and well-being. There are plenty of methods to improve air quality in the workplace and some are better than others. However, how do you know if your efforts are really working? The key is to actually know how dirty or clean the air you’re breathing really is.
In order to test the air in your commercial or industrial location you need to do respirable dust testing. So what exactly is this and how does it work? The air is full of all kinds of dust particles that carry all kinds of substances. When we perform a respirable dust test we determine how clean or dirty the air you’re breathing at work really is.
When you hire Better Air Northwest to perform this service we’ll take a sample directly from your air ducts and send it to a lab to have it tested to determine the quality level of your air. We use a special filter designed specifically for respirable dust testing and contain it in sealed container to be tested at the lab. If the dust levels are too high then you should seriously consider getting your ducts clean.
If you want to determine the air quality in your office or commercial building then please contact Better Air Northwest today and schedule your respirable dust testing appointment now. Just call 503-208-8351 in Portland or 360-852-6212 in Vancouver, or click here.

Spring is in full bloom and summer is just around the corner. That means it will soon be time to get outside and start on some of those do-it-yourself projects around the house. There are all kinds of things to do and many of them are great to take on yourself. However, not all projects should be tackled by DIY-ers. For example, as you head outside, take a look at the opening of your dryer vent exit. They are usually found in your foundation.
If you notice a lot of lint buildup there is a good chance you need your dryer vent cleaned. This is one of those jobs that a lot of people like to try to do themselves. So let’s take a look at some of the pros and cons of cleaning your own dryer vent.
You will most likely save money doing it yourself, but you will need to purchase a brush kit to do the job right, which will cost you something. If your dryer vent hose is short enough this should be an easy job. However, most houses these days are not built like they used to be. Many dryer vents are now very long and often extend for long distances before they reach their final exit.
Another problem that many people who try to clean their own vents run into is getting their brush kit stuck in the vent. This can lead to frustration, not to mention damage to your vent and the job unfinished. The clog can actually get even worse, which increases your risk of a fire. Sometimes, people then have to call a professional anyways to help get the brush out.
So, while there are some people with very short hoses that could likely do this job on their own, for most people calling a professional to begin with is a much smarter choice. You will save time, and often you’ll end up paying less than you would have if you end up getting your brush stuck trying to do it yourself.
So let Better Air Northwest clean your dryer vent for you. Just call us in Vancouver at 360-852-6212 and in Portland at 503-208-8351. You can also reach us online or leave us a message by clicking here.

How many times have you seen one of those air duct cleaning flyers in the mail, or hung on your doorknob, that advertises a $99 special? Wouldn’t that be great if this valuable service really only cost $99? Well, as the old saying goes, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. The fact is if you want your air duct cleaning done right, you are going to have to pay more than $99.
Plus, these $99 jobs are just a way for these shady air duct cleaning companies to get into your home. They don’t really plan on doing anything for $99, unless they quickly stick a vacuum hose in your vents and call it good. These discount offers are not legitimate. In most cases, the company doing the advertising will show up to your home and upon further inspection, will find several other problems, like mold.
However, they aren’t qualified to detect or treat mold and in reality they are probably making the whole thing up so they can scare you into paying for expensive services that you don’t need and that they will most likely not even perform. If you get one of these flyers or coupons don’t waste your time. These companies won’t do the work, and they will always jack up the price.
Getting a great deal is always nice, but in almost all cases, you get what you pay for. Therefore, if you’re looking for professional air duct cleaning done right, then give us a call at 503-208-8351 in Portland and at 360-852-6212 in Vancouver. You can also click here to contact us online.

If you went to get new tires put on your vehicle you of course would want to see that those tires were actually new. With tires it’s easy to see that they have been replaced, however, with some replacement parts it’s harder to know. You have to trust that the mechanic has done the job right and that he/she has truly replaced the required parts.
The same is true with many of the services you receive at your home or office. If you need something repaired you have to trust that it was done right. With air duct cleaning, you can’t really crawl into your air ducts and inspect them yourself. You have to trust that the technicians have done the job right. Unfortunately, with several shady duct cleaning companies out there scamming honest people, it can be hard to give a company your trust.
That’s why at Better Air Northwest we not only promise to do the job right, but we also back it up with real, visible results. You will know for sure that your air ducts have been properly cleaned. We offer results that you can see. We’ll take a picture or even video to show you your air ducts both before and after our service.

March is already over, which means spring is here and that means warmer weather is on the way in. While it still might take a while for those regular warm sunny days to appear in the Pacific Northwest, many people have put their big coats and bulky sweaters away for another year, in exchange for lighter jackets and hoodies. But this is not a fashion blog, so what does winter clothing have to do with air duct cleaning and dryer vents?
While all that cold-weather clothing helped you stay toasty throughout this frigid winter we just experienced, there is a negative side to all wearing all those items. You have to wash and dry them, which means both your washer ad dryer have been working harder fro the last several months. So without you even giving it a second thought, you might have increased the risk of fire in your home. That’s because the more lint that builds up from your clothing the more likely you are to get a clogged dryer vent.
When your dryer vent gets clogged you end up with a greater fire hazard. So, when should you get your dryer vent cleaned? If you haven’t had it cleaned by a professional within the last year, then now is a good time to have this service done. A clean dryer vent means a reduced risk of fire, a more efficient dryer and a smaller energy bill because your dryer doesn’t have to work as hard. So yes, now is a very good time to get your dryer vent cleaned.
