How To Eliminate New Carpet Smells

Installing new carpet in your home?

New carpet can make a home feel brand new, but did you know the chemicals in new carpet are extremely toxic?

Some new carpets contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which are emitted as gases when they are first installed. When exposed to VOCs people may experience a wide range of symptoms that can include nose and throat discomfort, headache, allergic skin reaction, nausea, fatigue, and dizziness.

The new carpet odor that people usually smell is a VOC called 4-phenylcyclohexene (4-PCH), which is a byproduct of the latex binder used to secure the “tufted” fibers to the backing. 4-PCH can linger after installation for up to a week, exposing the homeowner to the pungent odor.

These odors can easily be removed with Earth Care’s Clear The Air Odor Eliminators. Simply sprinkling Earth Care Clear The Air granules on the carpet and hanging Earth Care Odor Remover Bags will eliminate the new carpet odors. This unique form of Earth Care Products Mineral does not have to come into contact with the odor producer; it will pull the odors from the entire area.

How To Keep Pests Out Of Your Home

No one likes pests in their home.

Unfortunately sometimes when we get rid of pests, such as mice and rodents, their odor can linger.

Clear The Air Odor Eliminators will eliminate those odors easily and safely. Check out our tips to keep pests out of your home:

Rodents and raccoons:

• Raw bacon or peanut butter makes good bait for a mousetrap. Make sure a mouse will have to tug the trap to remove the bait. If you’re using peanut butter, dab some on the triggering device and let it harden before setting the trap. If bacon is your bait, tie it around the triggering device.
• If a raccoon sets up housekeeping in your attic or chimney, chemical repellants such as oil of mustard, are temporarily effective. (The smell may bother you as much as it does the raccoon.) Your best bet is to let the animal leave, and then cover its entrance hole with wire mesh so that it cannot return.
• To keep rodents out of your house, seal every opening they could squeeze through. Some need less than 1/4 inch of space. Put poison in deep cracks or holes, and stuff them with steel wool or scouring pads pushed in with a screwdriver. Close the spaces with spackling compound mixed with steel wool fragments.

Insects:

• If your home becomes infested with fleas, vacuum rugs thoroughly before spraying, and throw the dust bag out at once.
• Keep ants away from your home with a concoction of borax and sugar. Mix 1 cup sugar and 1 cup borax in a quart jar. Punch holes in the jar’s lid, and sprinkle the mixture outdoors around the foundation of your home and around the baseboards inside your house. The ants are attracted by the sugar and poisoned by the borax.
• If you have cockroaches, sprinkle borax powder in the kitchen and bathroom cabinets. Avoid sprinkling where children and pets could be affected.

Danger – Does Your Dog Have Access These Dangerous Foods?

Our list of dangerous foods for your dog.

Some foods which are edible for humans, and even other species of animals, can pose hazards for dogs because of their different metabolism.

Some may cause only mild digestive upsets, whereas, others can cause severe illness, and even death. The following is just a small list of common food items that should not be fed (intentionally or unintentionally) to dogs:

• Moldy or spoiled food, garbage – can contain multiple toxins causing vomiting and diarrhea and can also affect other organs.
• Chocolate, coffee, tea, and caffeinated drinks – They contain caffeine which could be toxic and impact the heart and nervous systems.
• Mushrooms – Can contain toxins, which may affect multiple systems in the body, cause shock, and result in death. Wild mushrooms can cause abdominal pain, drooling, liver damage, kidney damage, vomiting, diarrhea, convulsions, coma, or death.
• Bones from fish, poultry, or other meat sources Can cause obstruction or laceration of the digestive system.
• Avocado – Can cause difficulty breathing; fluid accumulation in the chest, abdomen and heart; or pancreatitis.
• Onions & garlic – (raw, cooked, or powder) Contain sulfoxides and disulfides, which can damage red blood cells and cause anemia. Cats are more susceptible than dogs. Garlic is less toxic than onions.
• Nutmeg – Can cause tremors, seizures and death.
• Fruit pips, seeds Apple seeds, cherry pits, and peach pits, pear pips, plums pits, peaches, and apricot pits contain cyanide, which is poisonous.
• Grapes/raisins – can cause kidney failure in dogs. As little as a single serving of raisins can kill him. If the dog doesn’t eat enough at one time to be fatal, he can be severely damaged by eating just a few grapes or raisins regularly.
• Walnuts – walnuts are poisonous to dogs.
• Alcohol – can cause intoxication, coma, and death.

What Every Dog Owner Should Know

Helpful tips for dog owners.

Whether you have had a dog all your life or you are new to dog ownership, here are some tips for every dog owner:

1. Dogs are not deliberately naughty – A dog will misbehave or disobey if he doesn’t understand what you want, he is suffering from stress or fear or he doesn’t consider you his leader.
2. A dog is simply, a dog – They do not communicate like humans do. To effectively train your dog, put yourself in his shoes and understand his instinctual pack behavior.
3. Aggression happens in any breed – No matter how small or big or how bad of a reputation that breed has, aggression is caused by fear of the unknown. When a dog becomes frightened he will either fight or take flight. Reinforce leadership with your dog so you can avoid any unacceptable or uncontrollable aggression.
4. Teach your dog tricks – Old dogs really can learn new tricks. They are continuous learners and have exceptional memories. Show your dog what you consider good and bad to behavior to help change his behavior for the better.
5. Dogs think of survival – As a dog owner you should model a leader’s characteristics so you can be accepted as the leader and your dog will learn to respect and obey you. Your leadership will help your dog feel safe and eliminate any behavior problems.

Danger – New Carpet Odors

Planning to put in new carpet in your home or office?

New carpet is wonderful because it gives you a fresh, new, clean feeling. Did you know, however, that a caustic chemical lurks in new carpet?

They are called VOCs, Volatile Organic Compounds, and are a substance that contains carbon and that evaporates or “off-gases” at room temperature.

A number of building and household materials may be sources of VOCs. New carpeting, backing, and adhesives; draperies; wood products that use certain glues, finishes, and waxes in the manufacturing process; and vinyl type flooring and wall coverings may all release VOCs into the air.

Studies of animals have shown that breathing some types of VOCs over a long period of time can increase the risk of getting cancer.

These odors can easily be removed with Earth Care’s Clear The Air Odor Eliminators. Simply sprinkling Earth Care Clear The Air granules on the carpet and hanging Earth Care Odor Remover Bags will eliminate the new carpet odors. This unique form of Earth Care Products Mineral does not have to come into contact with the odor producer; it will pull the odors from the entire area.

Clear The Air draws in odors like a powerful magnet. The odors are absorbed, and neutralized without any fragrances.
