My dog Rover finally got home from the veterinarian today. You see, for the longest time, the house that I thought was regularly cleaned turned out to have a dark secret. Apparently, the home had a black mold infestation.
Black mold is a fungus that is microscopic in size. It may become airborne and is potentially dangerous to anyone who is in it’s vicinity, as what happened to Rover. Fortunately, I wasn’t in any danger, as I didn’t stay for long in that place. But Rover practically slept there, as the cool tiles felt cool on his tummy.
Black mold breeds easily in places that are oftentimes moist. Because of this, the bathroom is a ideal location for them to grow in, if the place isn’t properly maintained regularly. But it didn’t make sense, as I know I clean my bathroom on a regular basis. I didn’t know how Rover could get sick. So I looked online and discovered that black mold was pretty microscopic and could creep into the grout between the tiles. I must confess that I’ve ignored this part of the bathroom, as it was a seemingly insignificant narrow strip of space.
I check online and got the numbers of professional grout cleaners nearby. I called them up and scheduled a cleaning date with them. In a matter of days, they came over and cleaned up the bathroom, Rover’s favorite place, and I must say, they did quite an excellent job on it. Rover soon came home to a mold-free home.
Rover’s still feeling a bit under the weather after his operation, as he doesn’t seem as active as before all this went down. But, if it’s worth anything, he does seem a lot calmer these days, better than when he was sick and looked a lot agitated. And I’m doing all that is in my power to keep him from becoming sick again.
