My house can become sick? Wait, what?
Yes, you’ve heard that right, houses do get sick. However, you won’t catch it with a fever, or with a cold, or sneezing. So how does the your home become sick? When you don’t properly take care of it.
But I clean the house regularly and there’s not a spot of dirt left?
Probably in your immediate field of vision, but what about those that are not readily seen by the naked eye? We are talking about the air ducts and vents that are located around your home. The vents may even be blocked by some furniture which you may have not moved while you were cleaning the house. Why not do a quick check and see if your home’s ducts and vents need a quick cleaning.
KEEP YOUR HOME HEALTHY BY HAVING CLEAN AIR DUCTS AND VENTS
Are you aghast to find out that the openings of the vents are filled with dirt? Are they covered in indistinguishable material and don’t know how long it has been like this? Then it gets worse if you open the vents and take a gander inside. Even the tiniest puff of air will send the dust, molds, and other pollutants flying off everywhere.
So what happens if it gets really dirty?
When your house is sick, then there is a high risk of the people living inside the residence will get ill as well. This holds especially true when there are people inside the home that already have health complications. Illnesses such as asthma and other respiratory disorders can get worse. Furthermore, those with allergies to these bacteria will get more frequent reactions.
So how can I clean my air ducts and vents?
Well, you could do it yourself. But do take note that simply getting a broom and cleaning the inside of the vents with it won’t do very well. In fact, doing so will make the dust and dirt fly out more.
The best way to get them cleaned if you do not have prior knowledge or experience in cleaning your air ducts and vents is to get professional assistance. In fact, even if you do have prior experience to cleaning them, what better way to spend your weekends than to relax while the pros handle the task for you.
