Welcome to the November edition of Jumbuck Cleantalk.
Halloween and the Melbourne Cup are over and done with, I hope you backed a winner. People are now starting to get organised for, I hate to mention it, Christmas. It just seems to come around quicker and quicker every year. So as the weather warms, if you want a particular date and time it's best to give us as much notice as possible. Last year December was nearly booked out before it started.

Recently I attended the Cleaning and Hygiene Trade-show and Conference held in Melbourne, presented by the ISSA. There are two things that came out of it that I feel will be of great benefit to those of you living with allergies or asthma. I will explain further on in this newsletter.

We really appreciate your continued use of our services. Without you, our loyal customers, we wouldn’t be here. A special thank you to all our customers who recommended us to their friends and relatives, this is what keeps us in business.
We look forward to helping you with all of your future cleaning needs and hope to see you soon. With that in mind, from now until Christmas is our busiest time of the year. So if you are thinking of having work done, book early to save disappointment. 

Best Regards,
Glen & Denise Carbis  Owners, Jumbuck Cleaning & Restoration

BetterAir Environmental probiotic is treating the trigger of your allergies and not your symptoms !
The second great and exciting thing to come from the trade show was from a chance meeting with Zack Anidam from Betterair.
We have all heard how pro-biotics are great for your body, adding good bacteria to your digestive system, helping balance your immune system, fight bad bacteria and disease. In cleaning when we clean we remove all the bad we also remove all the good bacteria. So what happens is that what ever the surface is, it is susceptible to contamination with bad bacteria again. This is where Environmental Probiotics come into play.

We make it simple to protect indoor environments from harmful pollutants and irritants by leveraging the power of Environmental Probiotics; comprised of water and Bacillus ferment. The patented technology works on a microscopic level and repetitively releases billions of micron sized probiotics to purify the air and clean surfaces and objects; resulting in a healthy microbiome.
The purification systems are designed to automatically release Enviro-Biotics (TM) into the air which are carried by air flow throughout the indoor space. The Environ-Biotics land on surfaces and penetrate hard to reach objects such as keyboards, carpets, toys, linens, door handles and much more.
So what makes it different? Betterare systems not only improve indoor air quality, but also prolong the cleanliness of indoor surfaces. Enviro-Biotics land on surfaces and consume the resources available to harmful bacteria such as dust mite excrement, pollen, pet dander and shed skin cells. With fewer irritants on surfaces, less are emitted into the air thus providing fresher and cleaner air.

Clean
Laughs

During my annual check-up, my doctor asked me about the level of my physical activity.
 
I described a typical day this way.
"yesterday afternoon, I took a five hour walk about 7km through some pretty rough terrain.
I waded along the edge of a lake. I pushed my way through bushes.
I got sand in my shoes and my eyes.
I avoided standing on a snake. 
I climbed several rocky hills.
Went looking through a wooded forest. 
The mental stress of it left me shattered. 
At the end, I drank eight beers"
 
Inspired by the story, the doctor said, 
"You must be one hell of an outdoors man!"
 
"No," I replied, "Just a bad golfer"

Mildred, the church gossip, and self-appointed monitor of the church's morals, kept sticking her nose into other people's business.
 
Several members did not approve of her extra- curricular activities, but feared her enough to maintain their silence.
 
She made a mistake, however, when she accused Frank, a new member, of being an alcoholic after she saw his old pickup parked in front of the town's only bar one afternoon.
 
She emphatically told Frank (and several others) that everyone seeing it there would know what he was doing!
 
Frank, a man of few words, stared at her for a moment and just turned and walked away. He didn't explain, defend, or deny. He said nothing..
 
Later that evening, Frank quietly parked his pick-up in front of Mildred's house .. walked home .... .and left it there all night.

An American lawyer was quite wealthy and had a summer house in the country, to which he retreated for several weeks of the year.
Each summer, the lawyer would invite a different friend of his (no, that's not the punchline) to spend a week or two up at this place in the bush.
On one occasion, he invited a friend from the Czech Republic to stay with him.
They had a splendid time in the country - rising early and living in the great outdoors.
Early one morning, the lawyer and his Czech companion went out to pick berries for their breakfast.
As they went around the berry patch, gathering blueberries and raspberries in tremendous quantities, along came two bears, a male and a female.
Well, the lawter, seeing the two bears, immediately dashed for cover, but his friend wasn't so lucky and the male bear reached him and swallowed him whole.
The lawyer ran back to his Mercedes, tore into town as fast as he could and got the local policeman.
The officer grabbed his shotgun and dashed back to the berry patch with the lawyer, and sure enough, the bears were still there.
"He's in THAT one", cried the lawyer, pointing to the male, while visions of lawsuits from his friend's family danced in his head.
The policeman looked at the bears, and without batting an eye, took his gun, aimed and SHOT THE FEMALE.
"What did you do that for?" exclaimed the lawyer, "I said he was in the other one!"
"Exactly," replied the officer ...
 
"And would you believe a lawyer who told you the Czech was the in the male?!!!"

The Basics of Vacuuming
 
If you have carpet or rugs, you have a vacuum cleaner. A vacuum is absolutely necessary to keep your valuable carpet and rugs clean of particulate or dry soil.
 
While vacuuming may seem like a basic housekeeping chore and simple to do, the biggest challenge is getting out the vacuum and actually putting it to use.
 
Frequency
 
How often you vacuum depends on the size of your family, and this includes pets. As a general rule, you should vacuum the main areas in your home, such as the living room, hallways, and other high traffic areas, one time each week per occupant.
 
For example, if you have four people and one dog in your family, vacuum five times per week, in those high traffic areas. For low-trafficked areas, once per week should suffice. This might seem extensive and perhaps unnecessary, but it keeps your carpet and rugs virtually free of dry soil build-up.
 
How to vacuum
 
You might be thinking, “You just plug it in and push it across the floor.” Which is basically what you do. The problem is how fast you move and how much overlapping you cover when running the vacuum.
 
While you may push the vacuum forward fast, slow down when you pull it towards you. This way the beater bar, if your vacuum has one, has a chance to work loose the soils. Also, overlap several inches from side to side so you have complete coverage of the floor.
 
Choosing the best vacuum
 
Quality matters when choosing a good vacuum cleaner. The cheaper ones at department stores may work fine for a while, but they quickly lose efficiency and often break down. Look at the reviews of any vacuum cleaner you are contemplating and spend a few more dollars on a superior model. Your carpet and rugs will be better off in the long run.
 
Choosing a vacuum with a beater bar is smart. Especially with thick pile carpet, it helps remove more dry soil. However if you have wool carpet or delicate rugs a beater bar may be too aggressive. Some choose vacuum cleaners with a bag-less option. If you use a vacuum cleaner with a bag, change it out when about half full, for maximum efficiency. Purchase plenty of replacement bags and have them on hand for this purpose.

Ask Jolly Jumbuck?

Dear Mr. Jolly Jumbuck: 
We purchased a new wool carpet about four years ago. When should we have it cleaned?

Signed, Casey Needzit
 
Dear Casey,
Did you know that choosing a wool carpet or rug for your home is both good news… and sometimes bad?

The good news is choosing wool, which is a high quality fibre but not really that popular because of the higher price, means your carpet or rug will last longer, look better and retain value.

The bad news is choosing wool means you won’t see as much dirt on it, and so you may not vacuum or clean it that often — which means your nice, wool carpet or rug may prematurely wear out.

Why is that?

Most consumers base their cleaning frequencies on appearance. That can be dangerous for any carpet or rug, or any surface, for that matter. With wool, the physical make-up of the fibre has the characteristic of hiding dirt, especially those tiny, gritty particles that wear on the fibres. You might compare this to putting sand on a piece of Plexiglas and walking on it. The sand will act as an abrasive, damaging the surface.

While wool fibres won’t damage as quickly as other fibres, such as nylon, polyester or olefin, any type of dirt or soil on them isn’t good news at all.

What you should do is talk to a cleaning professional about cleaning based on frequency, not appearance. Get your cleaning scheduled on a regular basis, and remember that not every situation is the same. Your home may not need as frequent cleaning as another; that’s why a professional opinion is smart.

Yes, wool is good… or baaaad… depending on how you treat it.

Leaks Happen – Be Ready!

You know the normal sounds your home makes.

The air conditioner kicking on as the dog days of summer begin. The heating system starting up on a cold, winter evening. The creak of a loose floorboard as someone rises early in the morning.

What you don’t normally hear — and you do not want to hear — are the sounds of spraying water from a broken pipe or hose, or a malfunctioning hot water tank or water filter system. Even worse is when this happens when you aren’t home and upon arrival you wade through inches of water on the floor, or duck from the dripping water from an upstairs leak.

When water damage occurs (and statistics say water damage claims are among the highest with insurance companies) you need to act quickly. The #1 concern is to think “safety first.” Before entering into any areas of the home that are damage from flood waters, be sure that the power is turned off. Nothing is worth getting an electrical shock!

Next, find the water turn-off valve and stop the flooding. Many home-owners aren’t sure where the water turn-off valve is located. Now is the time to figure that out, and even put a tag on it so it is easy to find, especially in the dark or in the beam of a flashlight. Don’t delay… find that valve and mark it!

It’s always best to be prepared. Contact your water damage restoration contractor and get the info you need to be safe… just in case.

How to Take Care of Your Outdoor Barbeque

There’s nothing more enjoyable to food lovers everywhere than firing up the gas grill and creating some delicious meals, whether steaks, burgers, bratwursts or healthy home-grown vegetables.
 
Keeping that gas grill in good shape is, therefore, paramount to happy outdoor barbecues and family gatherings.
 
And here’s something we all know: Outdoor gas grills don’t clean or take care of themselves. It takes determination on your part to keep them working for you, meal after meal after meal.
 
Here are a few easy steps to keeping your gas grill in good shape.
 
Step 1: After cooking your favourite treat on the grill (after removing all the food to a platter, of course) keep the grill on. In fact, turn it up a bit, and let all the bits of meat and drippings burn to a crisp so after everything cools you can scrape them off the grill grate. If you don’t do this, the next time you fire up the grill means you will be dealing with the remnants of the previous meal. That’s not tasty.
 
Step 2: Look underneath… no matter the quality of your grill, if you have a storage area for pans, spatulas and the propane tank, food drippings and debris can quickly create a problem. Clean out that storage area on a regular basis, keeping everything neat and ready for the next meal.
 
Step 3: Don’t ignore the exterior of the grill. Washing the outside of the grill with warm, soapy water keeps grime from building up.
 
Step 4: When not in use, keep everything covered up. Some feel that with warmer weather, they can leave the grill exposed to the elements. Hey, it’s meant to be outside, right? Yet keeping the grill under a quality grill cover can add years of life to your trusty outdoor cooking partner.
 
Of course, with outdoor grilling comes greasy spills that can spot and stain your carpet. Nearly everyone has dropped a burger or a sausage on the floor when bringing the food inside. Even worse is when your tasty treat is covered with mustard or tomato sauce. Do your carpet a favour and call your professional carpet cleaning company when that happens.
