Does Your House Stink?

Sometimes we have a listing that has some pet odors or we sell a listing that frankly STINKS! Other times we know that the family has allergies or other issues and they need really fresh air. I found someone to help.




Daniel at Health and Environmental Solutions has many products but the one in particular is his fresh air purifier. He can eliminate odors, mold, spores, it knocks out airborne particles, kills up to 99% of viruses and bacteria on your surfaces. The technology that his unit uses is used in the Pentagon and the 9/11 museum. You can call him for a free demo. Don't believe me, call him. His cell number is (760) 954-1719.
