Healthy Body, Healthy Home

With colder weather fast approaching, many people are going to be spending a lot of their time indoors. Now is a perfect time to inspect your home for common household pests and eliminate them, as your body will thank you. Inspect your home for dust and mold. Both of these can cause allergies, respiratory illnesses, and also be toxic to your pets. Here are a few areas to look at:

dust - blinds, ceiling fans, on top of appliances, ceilings (popcorn), television and computer screens, on top of lightbulbs, and on all displays/shelves
mold - on floors, above baseboards, behind appliances, in all areas of a bathroom, laundry room, water heater, garage, window sills, wood between window and wall

While you may not have this problem, now is a good time to give your home a check-up, before it makes you sick, and you will be the one needing a check-up. For more healthy living tips, look for my next post.
