5 Top Tips in Keeping your Home Clean and Healthy:


Cleaning your hands, surfaces, handles and anything you touch with antibacterial washes and sprays as often as possible will prevent the spread of germs.


Cleaning, dusting or vacuuming is important as these allergens can irritate allergies and make respiratory issues worse.


Reducing condensation can be done in many ways such as not drying clothes inside, using extractor fans in bathrooms kitchens, vent tumble driers outside and of course by installing ventilation systems. If condensation is not kept under control it can result in dampness and mould which are key factors in poor indoor air quality. Find our more about condensation here.


Our Sachvac Central Vacuum Systems are a great cleaning solution. Unlike conventional vacuum cleaners, central vacuum systems do not recirculate air or dust back into your home as it is taken through a pipe system in your walls directly to the unit that is usually installed out of the way in garages, plant rooms and utility rooms. 


We have a large range of ventilation systems from leading manufacturers suitable for all budgets and applications. If you already have a ventilation system installed in your home, we recommended changing your filters and cleaning grilles.
