4 Things that Require your Attention at Home Posted: 25 Feb 2013 07:56 PM PST Cleaning the house has become routine for most households in California and the basic equipment is the vacuum cleaner. The next movement is to use eco-friendly products for deeper cleaning at some parts of our home. Of course, when it comes to DIY upholstery cleaning, things get tougher since you would need to have the right shampoos and the expertise of special services, to remove the ugly stains or restore problems from water or fire. Still, there are some parts of our homes, which require our close attention. Our carpets may be sources of bacteria Most people are under the impression that carpet cleaning is an easy procedure and vacuuming the rugs and carpets will be sufficient. In reality, carpets are like living organisms having the ability to absorb liquids instantly and entrap food remaining, pet hair and urine, and ugly smells. Mixing water with some vinegar may remove the stains and baking soda can have drastic results with odor removal, but you will have to let them act for many hours before you vacuum them. Give attention to your furniture Our sofas suffer more than any other furniture within our homes. If we could see the invisible traces of dirt, we could see bodily fluids, coffee and other liquids, foods, dust and various other particles, which lie in there and create harmful particles and germs that keep multiplying and poisoning the air we breathe. That's why thorough residential upholstery cleaning is very important and you must use your vacuum cleaner as well. Now if your vacuum cannot reach all the dirty corners, you must use your hands and some water with a soft detergent. If you want to ensure that the above stains will be removed effectively, you shouldconsult upholstery cleaning services Los Angelesfor tips or ask them to take over the cleaning for you. Don't forget the children's room  Little children spend too much time lying on their rugs drawing, eating and drinking and, as a result, their rugs are usually filthy. Mold, which can be created by constant spilling of drinks, may have terrible repercussions to your children's health. Hence, you must check their rugs on both sides frequently and if the mold has spread, you should replace it or call a professinal company for mold damage cleanup and repair. Clean thoroughly the tile grout Most houses in Los Angeles prefer the installation of tile floors due to the material's durability. Most homes have tiles on the kitchen and bathroom floors and walls, which need to be cleaned thoroughly. Yet, grout would need our closest attention since they absorb moisture and dirt quickly, which cannot be removed easily. In fact, grout cleaning is hard to succeed with unless you call a specialized tile cleaning company. In reality, the most effective solution for the future will be tile and grout sealing right after they are properly cleaned, which will prevent dust, dirt and mildew to enter the grout and will make cleaning easier.

Centrifugal Villa by OBRA Architects Posted: 25 Feb 2013 04:07 PM PST OBRA Architects have designed villa with the green concept in Southampton, New York called Centrifugal Villa. This villa arranged around a hollow center, as if the heart of the house had somehow fallen outside its body. The Exterior of centrifugal Villa design dominated with eco-material like wood. The house utilizes geothermal heating and incorporates passive energy-saving techniques, including a narrow-section interior to allow natural ventilation and a sequence and layout of dormer windows and openings to permit generous daylighting and minimal artificial lighting needs. Read the Architects description after the images. Description From The Architects. …..The house, defined by this idea rather than a formal imposition, cannibalizes the local “vernacular,” distorting it through hexagonal introspection of the plan and the transposed proportion of the parts. Set on a 5-acre property overlooking an agricultural reserve, the project includes a poolhouse with a separate guesthouse and garage structure. Designed as wood post-and-beam structure, the exterior cladding is detailed with vertical board and batten seams to give continuity to the building exterior and encourage a uninterrupted rhythmic flow around the elevations.
