I disinfect so much that I have to use dust masks to protect our allergies.
I might have bit off more than I could chew when I committed to cleaning out the basement before our partner gives birth to our first son, named Elijah. We are moving our house office downstairs so all of us can use the original location as a baby nursery. I knew that the basement was full of junk and covered in dust, however I don’t suppose I could have prepared myself for what I actually found. The dust masks that I consistently use for these types of chores were not protecting me from everything. I was thrilled to have the chore finished after numerous weeks of constant work. By the time I was done, I had to go upstairs and vacuum the lake house in case any dust made its way up while I was cleaning the basement each time. I was surprised to not only find dust throughout the upper portion of our house, however it had been pulled in by the We have return vents for the Heating as well as A/C plan in every room upstairs, so naturally they were all filled with dust on the ceiling vent covers. I grabbed the shop vacuum and got to work instantaneously, efficiently removing and trapping the dust that had been gathered in every individual room. Once the lake house was settled for a few afternoons, the change was seriously noticeable. The lake house smelled better overall, and I was getting fewer headaches and less sinus congestion. I wish I had cleaned all of this dust beforehand, however it’s hard when you have drastic allergies.
