Carpet & Area Rug Cleaning
Nature’s Way cleans your home with no chemical residues left behind from our proprietary cleaning system and removes all of those annoying odors naturally with “nature’s disinfect”, aqueous ozone!
Is there Really a Difference?
Nature’s Way Cleaning & Restoration is all about being the company that makes your home or office a place that is clean, safe and comfortable the way nature intended, and we mean it! Our company was formed and managed by the very people that participate in writing the ANSI/IICRC (American National Standards Institute/The Institute for Inspection, Cleaning, and Restoration Certification) Standards of Care for the cleaning and restoration industries. All of Nature’s Way technicians are highly trained and certified by the IICRC so that you know you are getting professionals that have been given the skills to deliver the best service and results possible. If your not hiring a company that sends IICRC Certified technicians, then you’re probably not getting the best available service for you and the people you care most about, your family.
We offer cleaning using all methods of cleaning as described in the S100 and S300 Standards for Cleaning, including the most popular method known as hot water extraction or “steam cleaning”. But we are going beyond the norm to bring you the most “green” cleaning known to man, aqueous ozone with our proprietary system called Aqueous Ozone (AO) High Pressure Extraction Cleaning™. We will be one of, if not the first, cleaning and restoration companies to use continuous aqueous ozone to clean your home or office!
At this point you may be saying to yourself …
What is Aqueous Ozone and why does Nature's Way use it?
Ozone (O3) is a completely natural, colorless gas with a distinct, fresh odor, similar to a day at the beach. When used properly it provides a wide range of benefits. It is a natural molecule made up of 3 atoms of oxygen. That “fresh, clean, spring rain” smell that we notice after a storm is Nature’s gift to us. This is because ozone occurs quite readily in nature, most often as a result of lightning strikes that occur during thunderstorms along with the ultraviolet rays of the sun that react and create the Earth’s upper atmosphere, the protective ozone layer for our planet.
The main reason we are offering it is because ozone is one of the most powerful sterilizing agents and odor removers in the world! So why isn’t this concept being marketed to replace all of the harmful chemicals being used? Well, one of the reasons is because aqueous ozone has a very short “active” life, or shelf life, as compared to the chemicals, plus the large companies have ignored its potency. If they can’t bottle it, how are they going to sell it to you? The truth is, you can’t bottle ozone or even ozonated water (aqueous ozone). But, you can now generate your own aqueous ozone at a fraction of the cost of all the chemicals you continue to buy. We offer it as a cleaning method when cleaning your home or office and through the purchase of our Perpetual Ozone Spotter Unit for everyday use.
Ozone is five times more potent that molecular chlorine in destroying germs, bacteria, and viruses. It doesn’t have a strong, over powering odor like chlorine, yet it is so powerful, it actually kills those chlorine odors. Once generated, ozone is quite unstable, one of the three oxygen atoms eagerly splits off the molecule and attaches itself to any particle or pollutant with which it comes in contact. The single oxygen atom oxidizes the particle. The result is that the particle will no longer be toxic, will no longer be able to reproduce if it is biological, and becomes harmless. When the single oxygen (O3) molecule oxidizes the particle, it too is destroyed. This then leaves behind pure clean oxygen (02). Over a period of 20-30 minutes, ozone breaks down into two atoms of regular oxygen-by giving up one.
The Native Americans, for whom fishing was a central industry, recognized a correlation between a successful catch and a strange odor released by the action of lightning after an electric storm. The ancient Greeks also noticed the odor and named it “ozein”, and like the Native Americans, preferred fishing after a storm. This practice is still observed today by many fishermen. The explanation for this natural phenomenon is that after an electric storm the upper layer of water in lakes and rivers is enriched with diluted oxygen and therefore naturally ozonated. Once this layer of water is ozonated, harmful viruses responsible for many diseases in fish culture are destroyed, allowing for the healthier fish to be found in this upper layer of “healthier” ozone-rich water. This positive influence of ozone on the digestive system of different species of fish has been scientifically documented.
Fish farms use ozone to keep the deadly toxins, viruses, and bacteria out of the water, thereby producing healthier fish. The most common use of ozone is for the treatment of water. In 1906, a group of scientists and doctors studied the ozonation system at the Oudshoorn plant in Holland and later constructed a 19,000 M3/day plant using ozonation for disinfection at Nice, France. Nice is therefore referred to as the modern birthplace of the treatment of drinking water through ozonation. Today, over 2,000 cities around the world-including Montreal, Paris, Los Angeles, and Moscow-purify their drinking water with ozone.
Science has known that ozone kills and inhibits pathogens since the nineteenth century. Only a few micrograms per liter of ozone provide sufficient germ-killing action. It works even faster on viruses and bacteria, at lower dosages, and is not influenced by pH, temperature, and other nearby organic compounds. Different viruses have different susceptibility to destruction by ozone.
