Clean Home, Healthy Home

• When we talk about having a clean home, were not
  necessarily talking about a home being spotlessly
  clean, but rather one that is hygienic and wont
  make its inhabitants sick. Some forms of dirt,
  such as pollen and soil, can easily find their
  way into your home from outdoors, where other
  forms may be present inside your home, such as
  dust, garbage and even pest droppings.Having a
  home that is cluttered and untidy, often
  encourages dirt, dust and grime to accumulate,
  and can even encourage pests such as rodents and
  cockroaches. Mold is also far more likely to
  grow, and this alone can have serious
  consequences for your health.

• While some forms of dirt are acceptable in your
  home, and may not even be preventable to a
  degree, such as dust and general dirt found on
  carpets and upholstery, allowing it to become out
  of control until your home becomes grimy, can be
  risky for your health.
• How can dirt in the home have a negative effect
  on your health?
• Dust is one of the primary triggers of allergies
  in humans, and being exposed to too much dust on
  a frequent basis, can hinder those who already
  suffer from

• breathing problems, such as asthmatics, it can
  even cause asthma attacks. Coughing may increase
  when dust is in your home, and some may even
  struggle to breathe. In otherwise healthy adults,
  this may not be so much of an issue and can
  usually be controlled, but in young children or
  adults with compromised immune systems, this can
  be dangerous. Much the same can be said of mold,
  which thrives in damp, dirty areas of your home,
  the spores of which can make you pretty sick in
  time.

• What else in the home can be dangerous to your
  health?
• If you have household cleaners that contain even
  the smallest amounts of harmful chemicals, these
  should be kept either locked away, or firmly out
  of reach of small hands. Naturally, should a
  child try to consume a cleaning product, it could
  make them incredibly sick and even inhaling the
  fumes of some potent cleaning solutions can cause
  nausea and dizziness in children or vulnerable
  adults.

• How to tell if your home is too dirty?
• If you can see a thick layer of dust on any item
  or surface in your home, then youre not doing
  enough house work, and need to step up your
  efforts! You may even notice that the inhabitants
  of your home stop sneezing or coughing so much,
  and the air itself should feel cleaner.
• If your stove or kitchen work surfaces are sticky
  to the touch, then chances are you need to put a
  little more elbow grease into your cleaning
  routine. Harmful

7

• bacteria can quickly grow from food waste left
  stuck to surfaces, and can increase the risk of
  pests such as mice and cockroaches being
  encouraged to enter your home in search of food.
  If you spot droppings or urine in your home, then
  you may have an infestation and should call up a
  professional pest control officer as soon as
  possible.
• If your floors and other surfaces are covered in
  clutter, then youre as good as inviting dust to
  settle there, and cleaning becomes far more of a
  chore.

8

• Uncluttered surfaces are easy to wipe down, and
  doing this daily should help prevent too much
  dust from settling.
• What should you do if the problem is too big for
  you to tackle alone?
• A complete cleaning overhaul of your home is a
  great idea, and there are many companies out
  there who will come in and do it for you, at a
  time and cost that suits you. If clutter, dust,
  dirt and grime are an issue in your home, then
