Flood Prevention

Flood prevention tips for homeowners.

If you have ever experienced a flood in your home, you know it is not only a nuisance but can also be extremely costly and dangerous.  Clear the Air would like to share some helpful flood prevention tips.  If you have experienced a flood in your home, Clear the Air guarantees to eliminate that musty mildew smell that is most often left behind after a flood. It is simple to use and the answer to your flood odor problems.

Flood Prevention Tips

• Keep drainage areas (ditches, swales, small channels) free of debris accumulation.
• Consult an engineer to design a permanent water/flood debris control device, if needed.
• Ensure that drainage facilities are functioning properly
• Landscape slope areas with plants suitable for fire retardant and erosion control.
• Report clogged catch basins.
• Report water in streets over topping the curb.
• Review your insurance coverage. Homeowner’s insurance does not cover flood damage.

Insurance premiums are reduced ten percent if the building is located within your city’s 100-year floodplain. Areas outside the 100-year floodplain receive a five percent discount. However, there is a 30-day waiting period for the flood insurance to become effective.

Tips for Personal Safety During a Flood

• Do not walk through flowing water. Drowning is the number-one cause of flood deaths, mostly during flash floods. Currents can be deceptive; six inches of moving water can knock you off your feet. If you walk in standing water, use a pole or stick to ensure that the ground is still there.
• Do not drive through a flooded area. More people drown in their car than anywhere else. Do not drive around road barriers; the road or bridge may be washed out.
• Stay away from power lines and electrical wires. The number-two flood killer after drowning is electrocution. Electrical currents can travel through water. Report downed power lines.
• Have your electricity turned off. Some appliances, such as televisions, keep electrical charges even after they have been unplugged. Do not use appliances or motors that have gotten wet unless they have been taken apart, cleaned and dried.
• Look out for animals, especially snakes. Small animals that have been flooded out of their homes may seek shelter in your home. Use a pole or a stick to poke and turn things over and scare away small animals
• Look before you step. After a flood, the ground and floors are covered with debris including broken bottles and nails. Floors and stairs that have been covered with mud can be very slippery
• Be alert for gas leaks. Use a flashlight to inspect for damage. Do not smoke or use candles, lanterns, or open flames unless you know that gas had been turned off and the area has ventilation.

Clear the Air Will Help Sell or Rent Your House Faster

Trying to Sell or Rent?

Property management companies and Real Estate Brokers and Agents deal with odor issues on a routine basis. Cigarette, pet, musty/mildew, dead rodent, and cooking odors are most common and make a home harder to sell or rent.

Real Estate is often slow selling/renting or discounted due to odor issues. It has been reported that approximately 5-10% of all listing have odor issues that may impact the sale. Clear The Air Odor Eliminators are an easy, inexpensive way to solve the problem and get your property sold or rented.

Clear The Air Odor Eliminators are an easy, inexpensive way to solve the problem and get your property sold or rented. Clear the Air does not have to come into contact with the odor producer; it will pull the odors from the carpet pad, and sub-floor. Clear The Air draws in odors like a powerful magnet. The odors are adsorbed, and neutralized without any fragrances. Clear The Air does not cover up odors; it literally “clears the air” leaving the air fresh and clean. Clear The Air is made from an all natural mineral, is non toxic and biodegradable and safe for Planet Earth. It is also safe around children and pets even if eaten.

Check out how to eliminate odors in a house:

• Hang 1 or 2 bags in each room that has odor. Some air circulation is best. One bag covers approximately 100 square feet. Bags will last approximately 3 months; we suggest leaving them up until house is sold/rented.
• If you have pet urine odors in the carpet (including cat urine) sprinkle Clear The Air Odor Eliminator for Cat Urine on carpet, tile, concrete, furniture, or any other surface. Leave down overnight; sweep or vacuum up and odor will be completely eliminated. One canister covers approximately 100 square feet.
• If you have odors outside on lawn or shrubs sprinkle Clear The Air Odor Eliminator for Lawns down. Leave down indefinitely, Clear The Air is an excellent nitrogen soil amendment. One canister covers approximately 100 square feet.
• If you have a dead rodent odor please click How to Eliminate Dead Rodent Odors PDF
• Many agents keep a case of bags in their trunk.

It’s Boating Month

Clear the Air is celebrating July as boating month.

It is time to get out and enjoy the summer heat on the lake, river or ocean – wherever it is you prefer!  Everyone has probably at one time or another experience that smelly boat odor and it can be difficult to get rid of.

Fortunately, with Clear the Air, there is a simple and extremely effective way to eliminate any pesky boat odors.  Click Here to learn how to completely eliminate any boat odors.  We have a special this month only: purchase the Boat Bundle for only $49.95.  It is regularly $59.94, a $10 Savings!!!!  Enter “boat” into the redemption code with your Boat Bundle in the shopping cart and $10 is automatically taken off!

The Boat Bundle comes with 3 Canisters of Carpet and Furniture Odor Remover and 3 Bags of the Odor Eliminator Bags.  Take advantage of the savings today!

Check out our Boat Safety Tips:

• You are responsible for your own wake and any damage done by it. If you’ve caused boats to bang into each other or knocked someone’s grill off their deck or otherwise harmed their property, you’re the one on the hook for the damages. Big wakes in crowded spaces is bad news.
• Slow down if another boat is trying to overtake you. For safety and the serenity of everyone around you, just slow down and let them go around.
• The first one in blazes the path. If you’re entering an anchorage, mimic the other boats in how you tie off, how you anchor, how much line to use and how much distance you allow between the other boats.
• Respect your neighbors. If you have a loud boat make sure you leave plenty of space. Sound carries much farther on the water, and you can be heard clearly from a good distance away.
• Know your ramp manners. Think in advance about how you can cut down your ramp time. Delegate responsibilities and practice them before you get to the ramp.
• Move along already! Fueling is a necessary part of your boating experience, but be considerate of other boaters who would also rather be out on the water.
• Lend a hand. It just takes a minute, and you’ve shown everyone what a standup boater you are.
• Keep your area tidy. Buckets, shoes, carts and other items need to be stowed properly. And if you’ve used a piece of equipment, put it back where you found it.

Eliminating Odors in your Car

Car, truck and van odors can be eliminated with Clear the Air.

Tobacco smoke, spilled food, road kill, skunk odor, gasoline, smog, “doggie” smell, urine and mildew odors are common odors that stink up our cars. Air fresheners just mask the odors and often smell worst than the offensive odor, car details are expensive, and shampooing often just spreads the smell around. Earth Care Odor Remover Bags can simply be placed in your car and they will completely eliminate all these odors.

Earth Care draws in odors like a powerful magnet.  The odors are absorbed, and neutralized without any fragrances. It is made from an all  natural mineral, is non toxic and biodegradable and safe for Planet Earth.  It is also safe around children and pets even if eaten. It does not have to come into contact with the odor producer to eliminate the odor. Earth Care does not cover up odors, it literally “clears the air” leaving the air fresh and clean!

If you experience any type of odor in your car, truck or van, use Clear the Air.  We guarantee it to completely eliminate any odor.

Directions To Eliminate Odors From Your Car

• Hang or place one or two bags in car.
• Leave windows open for air circulation.
• Do not set bag in direct sun, can be placed under the car seat.
• If there are strong odors in your car you may also want to sprinkle Clear The Air Odor Eliminator for Carpets and Furniture on all upholstery and carpet. Leave down overnight and vacuum. All odors will be completely eliminated.
• The bags will continue to eliminate new odors for up to 3 months. Each bag will cover approximately 100 square feet, some air circulation is best.

Does Your Basement Smell Musty?

Does your basement have that damp, smelly, musty odor?  You may also have had a flood and after the water was cleaned up, you still smell a musty mildew odor.

When items sit in storage for many years, musty odors are likely to develop.  As the items continue to age and deteriorate within the confines of this underground space, the aroma often heightens and becomes increasingly off-putting.  If you are looking to restore your basement, you will most likely be faced with the dilemma of how to remove the odor.

Fortunately, Earth Care’s Clear The Air Odor Eliminator will completely eliminate these odors.  Clear the Air is simple and cost effective to use and is truly the answer to your basement’s musty mildew odors, 100% Guaranteed!  Clear the Air will not cover up the odors, as it draws in odors like a powerful magnet, without ever having to come into direct contact with the source.

Click Here to learn how to remove basement odors and purchase Clear the Air.

Has your house flooded and/or experienced water damage?

Has your house flooded and/or experienced water damage?  Now that all the water is out and your house has for the most part dried out, unfortunately you are often left with a musty mildew smell that permeates walls, carpets, furniture, window coverings and more.  Thankfully, Earth Care’s Clear the Air Odor Eliminators will completely eliminate these odors.

They are also helpful in basements and other places you experience musty and mildew smells.

Thankfully Clear the Air does not need to come in contact with the odor producer as it will pull the odors from an entire area.  It draws them in like a powerful magnet absorbing and neutralizing the air without any fragrances.

Clear the Air is made from all natural mineral, is non-toxic and biodegradable.  It is also safe around children and pets even if eaten.

Follow these directions to eliminate musty mildew odors from previously flooded areas:

• Hang 1-2 bags in each room with odors. One bag cover up to 100 square feet.
• Bag will continue to eliminate new odors for up to 3 months.
• In addition to the bags sprinkle Clear The Air Odor Eliminator for Concrete or Carpet and Furniture granules on floor and furniture, leave down 24 hours and sweep or vacuum. Odors will be completely eliminated.
• One canister of Clear The Air Odor Eliminator For Concrete or Carpet and Furniture granules covers approximately 100 square feet.
• One Clear The Air Bucket of granules covers 900 square feet.
• Clear The Air can also be sprinkled outside on concrete, decks, lawns and shrubbery to remove musty odors. It is not necessary to remove from lawns and shrubbery as Clear The Air will act as a natural time release nitrogen fertilizer.
