Superstar refurbished couple Kyal and Kara Demmrich live and breathing home refurbished.
In fact, since they appeared in the neighborhood in 2014, powerhouse duo has turned over three houses and participated in 28 family projects.
The couple welcomed their second child, Vada, in May, who understood how important it was to keep a clean home, especially on the go, or in a messy makeover.
Here, Kyal and Kara shared with FEMAIL the seven steps they followed for healthy families, as well as the simple two ingredient recipes they made the surface sparkle. 1.
Renovate your home with careThe duo. Duo believes that taking a clean green approach in the long run will make you and your family healthier.
"When we choose products and materials for our home renovations, we make sure that we have looked at the potential impact of products on our home environment," Kara told FEMAIL . ".
They added that when choosing paint, they would look for those that are marked with low VOC (volatile organic compounds), as many of them have now been approved by the National Asthma commission for sensitive choice programs in Australia
An expert who recently renovated an "asbestos shack" on the central coast of New South Wales also suggested careful treatment of toxic waste at construction sites.
Kara said that Kyal and the other factors I noticed when turning over were the safe removal of any asbestos and adequate ventilation when using solvents and glue.
"It's also important to check when your home was built!
Some buildings were built before 1978 and there may be traces of lead in paint and old floor varnish
This means that you may need to take additional precautions, such as wearing a mask when repainting. '2.
Improving air flow keeps your home feeling fresh as simple as making sure there is proper air flow.
The couple explained a lot of reasons for doing this, including blocking the build-
Increase in pollen, dust, VOCs, bacteria and moisture.
Kara told FEMAIL that we found windows, blinds and skylights to be a great way to create cross-airflow in the living area.
The couple also suggested ensuring that the smaller spaces, especially those that are prone to condensation, have enough airflow and, if not, install high-quality exhaust fans. 3. Choose non-
Who has not yet turned to the latest cleaning product that guarantees any surface return to its original state?
While temptation is real, the two say it's worth taking the time to stop and think about the chemicals you bring home.
"Kyal and I found that detergent and cleaning products without harsh chemicals and spices worked well, and a secret of my life was white wine vinegar and bi-
"Carbs soda, because it is perfect for cleaning the surface, especially the mold," Kara said . ".
Another advantage I found is that the cost of many natural clean alternatives is much higher --
Effective cleaning solution. '4.
Cleaning more than once a year in spring is nothing more satisfying than cleaning the house from top to bottom.
But Kara and Kyal believe that there are a lot of benefits to doing deep cleaning many times a year, rather than doing this ritual when spring comes.
"Obviously you can greatly reduce the amount of dust, pet hair and mold --
All of this is a potential trigger for problems like asthma, Kara said.
There are also studies that show that a clean family can help improve your mood and even reduce your risk of depression. '.
Considering that ordinary Australian families have unwanted goods worth $4,200 at home, sorting things out is not only good for your space, but also for your wallet. 5.
It is undeniable that a quick sweep of the floor is an easy way to get rid of chaos.
But the couple said a sweep could cause dust, pet hair and pollen to spread in the air and could cause allergies.
They recommend investing in high quality vacuum equipment and, if possible, in full vacuum equipment
Machine filtering.
Kara explained that this helps capture allergens from the floor and interior decoration, and also helps capture and seal dust and other particles so that they cannot be dispersed back into the air. 6.
Deter mitesDust is a tiny creature that feeds on human skin scales and is usually hidden in bed and linen.
For many people, dust worms are associated with allergies that are similar to hayfever and may include sneezing and runny nose.
Others may also have symptoms of asthma, such as breathing and breathing difficulties.
Kara recommends regular cleaning of linen and pillowcases to keep this in place.
In addition, many new mattresses and pillows are now equipped with defenses
Microbial treatment
So, keep an eye on these features! ,' she said. 7.
Decoration professionals believe that even with the safest cleaning method, some chemicals in dust and air are inevitable.
To ensure that the air that their families breathe doesn't have anything harmful, Kara and Kyal run an air purifier with an efficient air filter to give them "extra hands ".
The product they recommend is the brand new Dyson Pure Cool purification fan. With its state-of-the-
The system automatically detects particles and gases and captures 99.
Super particles, including harmful pollutants.
"We have been testing it and love it so much!
Said Kara warmly.
One great thing is that you can control and monitor your air quality 24/7 using the Dyson Link app.
"Knowing that particles in the air that can trigger allergies are captured is a satisfying feeling for us.
