When it comes to healthy living, many of us feel we have everything checked. From the food we eat, to the water we drink, many of us are more concerned about a healthy lifestyle than ever before. There is something that many of us miss however. According to a recent article by Market Watch, there are hidden health hazards right underneath your feet. They are in your carpets and rugs and could be negatively impacting your overall health. If you were to tell someone that their carpet contains more bacteria per square inch than their toilet, they probably wouldn’t believe you. Unfortunately however, it is true. Within many carpets you may find dirt, dust mites, molds and other potentially harmful pollutants.

Many of us vacuum our carpets regularly to clean them up and to prevent dirt from accumulating. But how often do we think about changing the filter within our vacuum cleaner? How often do we pay attention to the vacuum bags and accessories that we are using? Choosing the right accessories can make a huge difference in your overall health. Below are a few products to help ensure that your carpet and rugs are healthy and won’t pose any hidden dangers:

The Genuine Hoover Type Y Vacuum Bags Allergen 3-Pack are replacement vacuum cleaner bags for all Hoover WindTunnel vacuum cleaner models. These replacement bags feature allergen filtration for a clean home environment and are especially useful for those who suffer from allergies and asthma. With these Hoover replacement bags you will be able to trap 100% of dust mites and their eggs, as well as airborne particles such as pet dander, spores and other allergens.

Many of us do not pay close attention the filter that is in your vacuum cleaner. It is vital to the way your vacuum performs and can eliminate several contaminants found inside many carpets. This is why the Hoover WindTunnel HEPA Vacuum Filter is essential. It uses a Hoover HEPA filter to capture 99.97% of dust, pollen and other common household allergens.

The Hoover WindTunnel T-Series Vacuum Belt is a genuine Hoover vacuum cleaner belt for your WindTunnel T-Series Vacuum Cleaner. This Hoover WindTunnel Vacuum Belt contains 2 vacuum belts and it fits your WindTunnel Upright Cleaner. Your vacuum belt should be replaced every 6 months to ensure optimum performance.Other great accessories can be found here.

With this being allergy season, many never think that the source of their allergies could very well be their own carpet. However, take comfort in the fact that there is something we can do about it. Having your carpet cleaned and regularly vacuuming your carpet can prevent many of these contaminants from showing up.

Oftentimes, you hear more talk about water filters and air filters than you do about car filters. The thing is, your car filters are every bit as important. When somebody says car filters, they are usually referring to your car’s air filter, cabin air filter or the oil filter. Of the three filters mentioned above, the one that probably gets ignored the most is the cabin air filter. However, it is an essential part of your car’s ventilation system that removes pollutants from the air before they can get inside the passenger compartment. Here’s one major reason why you should change your cabin air filter: roadways (especially highways during rush hour traffic) are some of the major sources of air pollution. While driving, you are breathing in air contaminated with exhaust fumes, soot and dust particles. All of these may pose a serious hazard to your health. We care about your health and want to you to have great products that will work to protect your health. Purolator has a selection of products that will do just that:

This Purolator filter does not void the car warranty and protects the engine against damage from potentially harmful contaminants that can hurt the longevity of the vehicle and decrease driving performance.

The Purolator A34361 Car Air Filter Replacement is an air filter that protects your car’s engine against damage from potentially harmful contaminants.  The Purolator A34361 also includes gaskets around the filter media that provide a seal within the air intake chamber and remain flexible under cold conditions. With a proper Purolator car filter you can ensure the flow of clean air to your engine’s ignition point and prevent contaminated air from flowing in.

For millions around the world, pets aren’t just “pets” anymore. They are legitimate family members. They’re fun to have around, can be great company and some are just downright cute.

This is where the Dogit Design Fresh and Clear Pet Drinking Fountaincomes in handy. This drinking fountain utilizes multi-stage filtration that eliminates stale water by trapping impurities. It has a large surface area operation and is elevated, which is useful for dogs that are older, larger or suffering from physical ailments. Don’t have a dog? Have a cat and feel a little left out right now? Don’t worry, we have a Catit Design Fresh and Clear Drinking Fountain that is designed especially for your cat!

Let’s face it. While we may love our pets we may not always love the odors they leave behind. The Febreze TrueAir Pet Odor Filters works great to trap and neutralize pet odors. Each filter lasts up to 90 days and three replacement filters come with the purchase of this product. At under $15, it is an inexpensive way to get rid of that unpleasant odor.

Do you want something that not only eliminates pet odors, but will also eliminate other airborne allergens that could make your pet sick? Look no further than the Hamilton Beach TrueAir Pet Air Purifier Tower. This reduces pollen, mildew, mold spores and other airborne allergens up to 99%. It has 3 speeds, 2 carbon odor filters and can be used horizontally and vertically.

Pets are wonderful. If you are a proud pet owner, I am sure you can attest to that. Let’s just remember to take care of our pets and to love them just as we would anybody else. After all, pets are family too.

We all have those dreams of winning the lottery. We always ask ourselves the question what would I do if I won the lottery? What would I buy? Would I faint? Most of us all have that dream car that we would love to have, or at least would love to ride in. In honor of April being car care month, we want to see what car you would get if you won the lottery.

Starting a garden can be hard work. What can be even harder is maintaining that garden. Naturally, all the pests, weeds and insects will come along and could destroy what you put so much effort into getting started. However, there is one battle that many face in gardening every year. It has nothing to do with the pests, weeds or insects, but has everything to do with the water you use. We all know that watering is a must for any garden (if you don’t water it, it will die), but what we may not know is that the water you use could actually be hurting your garden. Most water contains chlorine that can actually harm your garden and stunt the growth of the plants in your garden. Fortunately, there are great Rainshow’r products that not only help you maintain your garden, but can keep it looking beautiful as well.

The Rainshow’r Gard’n Gro Garden Filter System is a completely non-toxic de-chlorinator that promotes healthy plant nutrition and growth in your garden by eliminating the harsh toxic effects of chlorinated water. This Gard’n Gro system enhances the effectiveness of non-chemical pest control methods while protecting ladybugs, lacewings and other beneficial nematodes. It also processes a minimum of 20,000 gallons of water and removes 85% of chlorine from your garden hose water.

The Rainshow’r Gard’n Gro Prefiltration Filter Kit is designed to prevent sediment from reaching your Gard’n Gro Garden Filters. It comes with a 15 micron double screen sediment filter and a 3-foot, flexible, high-vinyl hose saver. When installed, this will filter out sediment that is up to 5 times smaller than human hair!

As with most filters, eventually you will need to replace it. This is where the Rainshow’r Gard’n Gro Replacement filter screen comes in handy. This filter screen is used in the Rainshow’r Gard’n Gro Prefiltration Kit and will continue to filter out the unwanted sediment that could easily harm your plants.

Now that you have some products to help maintain your garden, how about a couple tips to further help you maintain your garden? First, it is best to water in the morning when temperature and wind speed is at the lowest. This reduces loss of water from evaporation and the possibility of disease. Secondly, don’t walk on wet soil. The footprints you leave are evidence of compression — packing the soil particles tightly and squeezing out important oxygen. This is not good for a garden. Try putting stepping stones or walkways in the garden for both easy access and to keep your shoes clean and dry. Remember, the best gardens are the ones that are shown the most care, so get out there and show your garden some love!

Just like water is beneficial to all of us, water is also beneficial to your pets as well, particularly fish. Did you know that one of the main reasons pet fish die early is due to a lack of maintenance in their aquarium? It’s not just fish either. Any other kind of aquatic life (i.e. turtles, crabs, shrimp) all depend on proper care from their owner for survival. Dirty, contaminated water can harm your pet just as easily as it can harm you. With that in mind, it is important to remember to invest in your pet’s health.While there are a few aquarium accessories for you to consider, here are a few suggestions that will help you to maintain your aquarium:

Larger-sized aquariums require your filter to do more work. That is why the AquaClear 110 Power Filter is the perfect choice. It is a 3 stage aquarium filter unit for aquariums up to 110 gallons.  It hangs on the side or back of your aquarium. It also provides constant filtration and recirculation of the water in your aquarium, resulting in cleaner and purer water.

Looking for a filter that is easy to clean and not so loud? The Fluval C2 Aquarium Power Filter System is a 5-stage aquarium filter unit for aquariums up to 30 gallons.  This filter system runs smoothly and quietly, hangs on the side of your aquarium and is designed for easy maintenance.

Already have an aquarium filter but not quite sure if it is working properly? Want a way to test the water to make sure before buying a new one? Then the HM TDS-4 Pocket size Meter is for you. This meter is used not only for aquariums, but also for drinking water, water filters and even pools and spas. The HM TDS-4 meter will check the performance of your water filter and confirm that the water you use is safe and healthy.

Whether you’re an experienced aquarium owner or a beginner, you can’t overlook the value of properly caring for your aquarium. Though care tips will vary depending on what type of aquarium you own (i.e., freshwater aquarium, saltwater aquarium) the above products will not just maintain a healthy habitat for your pet, but will consequently keep them healthy and happy.
