Package of Donated Products Will Help Keep Renovated Home Healthy.

(PRWEB) November 22, 2005 -- When the Kirkwood family of Port

Orchard, Washington returned to its dream home renovated by " Extreme

Makeover: Home Edition " earlier this month, they were supplied with

state-of-the-art cleaning and housekeeping products, courtesy of The

Housekeeping Channel®. Their story will be presented in a 2006

episode of the ABC series.

While the need for extreme renovations was precipitated by hazardous

black mold that had taken over their house, The Housekeeping Channel

pulled together its partners to donate products that will help keep

the new home clean and healthy.

" Helping people live in cleaner, healthier homes is The Housekeeping

Channel's goal, " explained P. Rathey, founder of the Web

site. " This was a terrific opportunity to help this deserving family

with four children maintain their new home and prevent a black mold

problem from returning, " he explained.

With the help of The Housekeeping Channel, the Kirkwoods received

cleaning and housekeeping products from the following companies:

• Advanced Vapor Technologies

• FilterStream

• Impex Systems Group

• ProTeam

• Sylvane

• TxF Products

" When the family left this house it was un-liveable, but they

returned to a home where they can maintain a clean and healthy

environment. We are truly proud of The Housekeeping Channel and the

commitment they made to change the Kirkwood Family's life, " said

Diane Korman, Coordinating Producer, " Extreme Makeover: Home

Edition. "

The Kirkwood family was surprised by " Extreme Makeover: Home

Edition " on November 8 to learn of their selection, which was as a

result of their 11-year-old daughter Jael's determination and help

from her city's mayor, who supported her pitching the family's story

to the show's casting department. The " Extreme Makeover: Home

Edition " team involved designers, contractors and hundreds of

workers and volunteers.
