Need Home Health Inspiration? Look No Further!


In the movies, homes are castles which are perfect in every way. No matter the time of day or the occasion, they are spotless from top to bottom. In real life, it’s a fight to keep on top of your property’s health. There aren’t enough hours in the day to clean constantly, and some major issues go under the radar

Because you want to safeguard your health, it’s essential to ensure your house is as safe as possible. The problem is you don’t know where to begin – you’re stuck. Not to worry because this post was designed with that in mind.

Here are the home health hacks to keep in mind.

Get It Tested

Like a human being does when they are under the weather, a house needs a check up too. Otherwise, there is no way to tell if it’s sick or not because it can’t speak. Again, that’s another bit of movie magic from the Hollywood bigwigs. What is tricky is figuring out which things to test it for in the first place. As a rule, mold testing is a good idea as the bacteria are present even if there isn’t any green on the wall. Checking appliances such as the boiler and fire is savvy as well. They give off CO if they break.

Have A Backup Plan

Carbon Monoxide is well worth another mention because it’s potentially fatal in large doses. And, modern homes produce decent amounts of it without the homeowner’s knowledge. No matter how proactive you are, you’re not going to call a plumber to test the boiler on a regular basis. Apart from a waste of time, it’s expensive also. What you need is a contingency plan which alerts you to a problem, and a CO detector is perfect. Install it on the wall and it will ring when the levels get too high.

Try Little And Often

Your general wellbeing depends on the cleanliness of the house. Unfortunately, there are pressing issues which get in the way and that means the house hasn’t been dusted in a while. Not only that, but the pile of dishes is stacking up and the toilet needs a scrub. How disgusting. Thankfully, it’s quite straightforward to negate this issues with the little and often method. Rather than a deep clean once a week, try dusting every day for ten minutes. It’s incredible how much dirt and grime disappear with little effort.

Remove Chemicals

The clue is in the title – they aren’t healthy. However, they do serve a purpose as they keep dirt at bay. So, you need them, right? No, not necessarily as it is possible to clean the house without industry-grade compounds. Plenty of organic cleaners will cut through the grime without leaving any traces of bleach. Regarding eating and drinking utensils, this is fantastic because it means nothing harmful enters your body. Try and avoid exposure to pesticides for rodents and insects too.

Hopefully, the tips above will inspire you to boost you and your home’s health.
