Pain relief and far infrared saunas

infrared sauna

 

Topical heat has been used by healthcare providers to relieve minor aches and pains, but nowadays we are just beginning to understand all the therapeutic benefits that heat offers. New clinical research found that heat promotes the activation of different complex metabolic, neurological, and vascular mechanisms to mediate the transmission of pain signals and provide relief for a variety of pain conditions. In other words, heat is very helpful for your health.

In a sauna from Perfect Bath, the deep heat helps blood vessels dilate, bringing healing and relief to muscle and soft tissue injuries. The increasement of blood circulation brings out metabolic waste products and transports oxygen-rich blood to oxygen depleted muscles, so they recover faster.

Radiant heat therapy is widely used to treat patients who suffer from different forms of arthritis.

Far infrared therapy has been proved to be effective in delivering pain relief to those who suffer from back pain, strains, sprains, bursitis, fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, headache, and many other muscular-skeletal ailments.

  • Arthritis: One of the most reported benefits from clients and doctors using far infrared therapy is pain relief from arthritis.
  • Back Pain: Shown in multiple studies to reduce back pain, in many cases more than pain killers.
  • Fibromyalgia: True far infrared saunas are commonly referred to as a “miracle” by people suffering from Fibromyalgia.
  • Joint and Muscle: Far infrared therapies are gaining incredible notoriety for their ability to relieve joint and muscle pain.
  • Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: Shown in recent studies to help with CFS, many sufferers report fantastic relief from symptoms.

There are many reasons to use a far infrared sauna, but above all, it keeps you healthy. Much of the soreness and stiffness that comes with aging is reduced or eliminated in the far infrared saunas.

3 Ways to Clean Brass Bathroom Fixtures

Content originally published and Shared from http://perfectbath.com

Many people like the look of brass in their bathroom. The problem is that it tarnishes easily. To clean it, you can do any of the following:

Regular cleaning routine
Keeping your faucet clean isn’t hard, but it does take regular effort. Make sure you make the cleaning part of your daily or weekly chores to avoid tarnishing.

Normally, a damp cloth is all it takes to shine up your faucet. Abrasive cleaners can actually damage brass, but if the damp cloth alone doesn’t cut it, try a mix of warm, soapy water with the cloth. Also be sure you dry the brass completely once you’re finished cleaning; this will prevent water spots and further damage.

Keeping the brass faucet dry will also prevent spotting and buildup. It’s smart to keep a dry cloth next to the sink so that you can dry off the faucet after you’re done using it. Source: DoItYourself

Toothpaste isn’t only for the teeth
Toothpaste keeps your pearly whites, well, white. And you can use that same cleaning magic on brass. First, pick the perfect toothpaste. You don’t need any gels or fancy flavors, just a plain, white toothpaste will do. Then, apply a thin layer of the paste to your brass object. Let rest for a few minutes, then polish with a clean cloth. For tough spots, you’ll likely need to use a little force. Feel free to apply extra dabs of toothpaste to particularly stubborn areas. Once the brass is polished to your liking, rinse with cool water and dry with a microfiber cloth. Source: BHG

Use natural ingredients

  1. Combine the juice of half a lemon with a teaspoon of baking soda and stir until it becomes a paste.
  2. Apply the paste with a soft cloth.
  3. If the tarnish is heavy, let the piece sit with the paste on it for 30 minutes.
  4. Rinse and dry. Repeat if necessary. Source: ArchitecturalDigest

4 Ways to Style Your Bathroom without Remodeling

Content originally published and Shared from http://perfectbath.com

Sometimes, we crave a change in our environment, and the easiest place to start is right in our own home. Create a new look for your bathroom by following these tips:

Deep clean nooks and crannies
You can often improve the look of your bathroom by simply cleaning it. Before you start making more significant overhauls, simply scrub, wipe, dust and polish everything in sight, from the grout in the floor tiles to the shower curtain liner. Chances are, your bathroom will look newer, brighter and more inviting when you’re finished.

  • A thorough cleaning can be very restorative for bathroom surfaces, which tend to show grime and discoloration very obviously.
  • You should aim to clean and sanitize your bathroom at least once every couple of weeks. Source: WikiHow

Style with an area rug
It’s a no-brainer — every bathroom needs a rug with a nonslip backing. But that doesn’t mean it has to look like a typical bathroom rug. Options that look like pint-sized living room rugs will add a stylish splash to a dull bathroom floor. Source: TheSpruce

Change paint color
This is obviously the place to start, since doing it yourself results in such fast and dramatic change. For the simple and serene look, choose soft and soothing tones to give you a greater sense of space and light. If you’re looking for a rich, dark hideaway, choose warm saturated tones to strike the right mood. Source: Zillow

Put things in baskets
Clear up clutter and add a touch of elegance with woven baskets. You can also use wine crates for a touch of rustic charm.

Crates and baskets are versatile, too. You can simply place one by the sink to hold soaps, or buy a few different shades to create an ombré look with your storage.

Using baskets is a creative way to store your fancy guest towels and soaps for visitors to easily see. Source: DoItYourself

Replacing your bathroom fixtures is another quick way to make your bathroom look better. Call us if you need help!

Which is Better Between a 1-Piece and 2-Piece Toilet?

Content originally published and Shared from http://perfectbath.com

One piece toilets are getting more famous by the day, and there are plenty of reasons why. Let’s see how different it is from the traditional two-piece toilet.

Style
Many homeowners prefer the sleek, low-profile of one-piece toilets as a contrast to the more traditional and taller two-piece toilet. However, two-piece toilets are still more prevalent and offer a larger variety of styles and colors to the buyer. Source: Hunker

Cleaning
With one piece toilets, the lack of joints or gaps between the toilet tank and bowl makes cleaning easier because dirt has fewer places to hide. The tank attaches to a two-piece toilet at the bowl, and dirt and bacteria can build up in this area, making it hard to clean without disassembling the toilet.

Durability
In terms of internal parts, such as flushing systems, both one-piece and two-piece toilets may be equally durable, depending on the manufacturer and quality. Because they’re a single unit, however, one-piece toilets don’t experience leaks between the tank and bowl, as two-piece toilets can. This also makes them less likely to crack, which may prolong the life of the one-piece toilet. Source: HomeGuides.SFGate

Installation
Since you are only dealing with a single piece, installing a 1-piece toilet is generally easier than its 2-piece counterpart. They are also more bulky and unwieldy than a 2-piece, so you may want to consider the amount of space you are working with, as well as how many hands you will have helping with the installation. Carefully follow the installation instructions regardless of which toilet you choose. Source: DoItYourself

Now that you know the facts, it’ll be much easier for you to decide which between the two you like better. However, if your mind still isn’t made up, then we can help you pick one. We also have toilets in store for you to choose from. Call us!

Pros and Cons of Using Dual Flush Toilets

Content originally published and Shared from http://perfectbath.com

If you’re replacing an old toilet or buying one for your new home, then consider an eco-friendly option. Find out why you should invest in a dual flush toilet below:

PROS

Better for the environment
Dual flush toilets consume much less water per flush than ordinary toilets do. Standard toilets flush by using water to siphon waste out of the toilet bowl. Naturally, using water to push water involves a great deal of waste. In addition to the waste of using water as a power source, ordinary toilets always use the absolute maximum amount of water they have available. The siphoning system used in standard flush toilets determines that the toilet is done flushing when air enters the siphon, meaning that it always empties the cistern completely, even when a small amount of water is actually needed for the job at hand. Source: DoItYourself

Save on water bill
In addition to the environmental upside to saving water, this also reduces your water bill over time. Dual-flush toilets are also considered high-efficiency. This means that some states have rebate programs in place that help people to subsidize the cost of upgrading the toilet in their home to a model that uses less water. Certainly, if you have this type of rebate in your state, installing a dual-flush toilet in the home will be more affordable than buying an old, non-efficient model. Source: eHow

CONS

Cleaning
According to Lowes, dual flush toilet models often require more cleaning and are more difficult to clean than standard single flush models. These toilets retain less water in the bowl, which may result in an increase in dirtiness. It’s also necessary to ensure that the water holes along the rims don’t clog as this can decrease the toilet’s ability to function. Source: Hunker

Incompatible plumbing
Newer residential construction takes the needs of low-flush toilets into account, but dual flush models are not always compatible with older homes built when high-flush toilets were the norm. In addition, older plumbing may have developed sags, dips and other problems that prevent a dual flush toilet from working. Source: Hunker

3 Tips for Designing a Zen Bathroom

Content originally published and Shared from http://perfectbath.com

Based on Cambridge dictionary’s definition of Zen, it is a form of Buddhism focused on emptying the mind of thoughts. To recreate a bathroom that will help you rid of your stress, here are some ways to achieve that:

Create Space
Clutter in your bathroom, even the clutter of Japanese artifacts, defeats the spirit of Zen, which is, after all, a school of Buddhism that emphasizes self-examination and nonattachment. Use few fixtures and either position them as far apart as possible or group them together and leave the rest of the bathroom empty. Mirrors and windows help increase the feeling of space, and in-wall storage cabinets keep towels and accessories out of view. Indirect ceiling lighting shining onto the walls makes the ceiling seem higher. Let one of the lights shine on a single calligraphy painting or scroll on the wall to create a meditative focus. Source: HomeGuides.SFGate

Good view
You should place the bathtub by a window so that you can experience nature while soaking. The bathroom should interact with adjacent rooms so that the view looking in and out of the bathroom is appealing and serene. The toilet area should not be seen from the doorway. Consider placing a beautiful piece of artwork within viewing distance of the toilet; let that art be the focal point from the doorway. “You want to feel the adjacent space even though you may not always see it,” says architect Michael Morris of Morris Sato Studio in New York City. “There should be something present beyond the wall or screen, a borrowed landscape from another room that suggests a deeper space or surface.” Source: HGTV

Flow
While sections may be distinct, the bathroom should not feel divided. You want to be able to easily transition from one space to another, says Dallas-based designer Alan Hilsabeck Jr. of Alan Hilsabeck Jr. Interior Design. “Think of how nature interacts,” he says. “Simplicity, clean lines, fluidity and functionality.” Partitions, such as shoji screens, allow you to divide the room or leave it open as you choose.

3 Ways to Go Green in the Bathroom

Content originally published and Shared from http://perfectbath.com

Live a more nature-friendly morning and evening bathroom routine by making sure that you follow these tips:

Stop using disposable plastics
A simple way you can cut down on waste is to stop using disposable products and invest in ones that last much longer and don’t need to be thrown away. Razors are the prime example, for both men and women. Disposable razors come at a cheaper initial price but are made to wear out so you need to buy new ones regularly. And the old ones just end up in the landfill.

Swapping to an alternative, such as a double-edge razor, for example, is a simple and effective way to reduce your waste and be more eco-friendly. They also produce a better shave and, in the long-term, save you money. Source: Earth911

Go for eco-friendly fixtures
Toilets use approximately 27% of the water consumed in your home — more than any other appliances or plumbing — including the washing machine, dishwasher and shower. Replacing your old toilet with a low-flow model is a great place to start when greening your bathroom. Newer homes will boast more efficient low-flow toilets installed by their contractor, but those found in older homes can use up to a whopping 7 gallons per flush. While low-flow toilets used to get a bad rap for boasting a less than desirable flush, sometimes requiring users to hit the handle twice, modern low-flow toilets provide ample flushing power while still using just a fraction of the water. Source: Inhabitat

Avoid toxic chemical cleaners
Bathrooms are notoriously small and often poorly ventilated, so, of all the rooms in the house, this is the one that should be cleaned with green, non-toxic cleaners. Common household ingredients, like baking soda and vinegar, and a little elbow grease will do the job for most everything in the bathroom (more on that in a sec). If DIY isn’t your style, there are a bevy of green cleaners available on the market today; check out our guide for How to Go Green: Cleaners for all the details. Source: TreeHugger

2019 Bathroom Trends

Content originally published and Shared from http://perfectbath.com

If you are thinking about a good bathroom renovation, you might want to keep up with the latest trends while you’re at it. Get inspiration from the following:

Mix between industrial and spa
Utilitarian may still dominate overall, but the introduction of soft wood hues, as well as a renewed focus on natural greys and off-whites in floor and wall tiling, will help offset the hint of Scandi starkness. “An abundance of wicker baskets to hold your toiletries and towels will help recreate the sense of calm well-being you find in a luxury spa,” says Naomi.

The timeless appeal of black and white shows little sign of waning, either, but for those in search of alternative notes, the softest baby blues or creams via fittings or wall coverings will add extra interest. Shades of terracotta remain enduringly popular for worktops and tiling, and contrast perfectly with a monochrome template.

Naomi believes that repurposed stone helps soothe and relax our senses, particularly when matched with the sumptuous marble finishes which have become a hallmark of contemporary good looks. Basin units constructed from rustic wood materials are proving popular, too, particularly when twinned with the bold, industrial brassware that has become the centrepiece of many bathroom designs.

Storage ledges
You know that catchall niche you use for literally every product you need in the shower? It’s opening up, and making room for the ledge. “It’s a cleaner look, and one that can be used in almost every bathroom, no matter the style,” Tolbert says. Source: HouseBeautiful

Beautiful artwork
Photography and art has the ability to set the tone and mood of a space, and expresses a homeowner’s tastes, so why should bathrooms be overlooked? A sophisticated piece of art lends a bathroom an impactful focal point, especially if the scale is large. Source: HouseAndHome
