Thiruvonam 2026 falls on Wednesday, August 26, with Kerala’s Onam holidays running from August 25 to 28. If you are reading this in the last week before Onam, the areas that need the most attention are your kitchen, pooja space, living room, bathrooms, and sit-out — because these are the spots your relatives, neighbours, and […]

Walking into your shop or office after a flood can be stressful. You may be dealing with muddy floors, wet furniture, damaged stock, and electrical equipment that isn’t safe to switch on. First things first: switch off the electricity if it’s safe to do so, and don’t use electrical equipment until it has been checked. […]

The floodwater has finally receded from your Pathanamthitta home. What’s left behind is mud-caked flooring, soaked furniture, and scattered debris — and you’re probably wondering where to even start. “Vellam irangiyallo, ini enth cheyyum?” is usually the very first thought that crosses your mind.

If you have ever wiped down a window in Kochi and watched the same haze come back within a few weeks, you are not doing it wrong. The problem is the environment. Kochi sits on the Arabian Sea coast, gets one of the heaviest monsoons in India, and has been under near-constant construction for the […]

If you live in Kochi, Ernakulam, or anywhere along Kerala’s coast, you know exactly what the monsoon does to your home. The first rains feel like a relief. By the third week, the walls are sweating, the kitchen smells off, and something in the bathroom grout has turned black. Kerala’s monsoon runs from June through […]

Your house construction is finished… But the floor still feels dusty and the windows look dull? That happens in most newly built houses. Even after the building work finished, you will still see cement dust, paint marks, and tile residue inside the house. A small amount of construction waste may also be there. So, before […]

Dogs and cats bring comfort and companionship. They also bring fur, dander, saliva residue, outdoor dirt, and odor. Most pet owners vacuum and mop regularly. Still, soft surfaces inside the home collect contaminants that normal cleaning cannot remove. In a humid coastal city like Kochi, moisture increases odor retention and microbial growth.
