Scary Home Facts

 

When we buy a home, we expect it to be our refuge from the world. We expect that we can leave the everyday worries of life behind us when we step inside our front door and settle into the sanctity of our living room couch or favorite armchair in the corner with a hot cup of coffee or tea. We’re supposed to relax, right? That isn’t always possible, however, if you’re afraid of what might be lurking in your home!

Read on to discover some of the most common home dangers and how to combat them through cleaning and restoration.

Polluted Indoor Air

Here’s a scary fact for you — did you know that the air inside your home is up to five times more polluted than the air outside? Sometimes, this unclean air can come from products we use on a daily basis, such as household cleaners and paints. But, most of the time, your HVAC system might be covered in bacteria and mold. These harmful particles travel through your home’s heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system to spread around the entire house.

 

Dust Mites

Some other big causes for difficulty breathing in your home are dust mites. They are some of the most common indoor allergens. The scary part? They’re so small that you can’t see them! Dust mites like warm, humid environments with a lot of dust, which means your air ducts, bed, attic, and more are all ideal places for them to live.

 

The Many Types of Mold

Mold is a fungus that grows in damp, dark environments and can be found in such places as crawl spaces, areas with water damage, and air ducts. In the US alone, it is estimated that there are over 500,000 different types of mold. These fungi feed off organic material and can release toxic substances, which can cause allergic reactions in some people.
