As a homeowner, you want your home to be a safe place to spend time. Family and friends will be more comfortable and you will have peace of mind when you take steps to maintain a healthy and safe home.

Become Smoke Detector Savvy

One strategy you should use to keep your home healthy and safe is installing and regularly testing smoke detectors. These devices alert you to smoke in your home. Because smoke is an indication of fire, having working detectors throughout your property is critical if you want to improve safety.

Install detectors on every floor of the house and inside and outside of every bedroom. Also, add smoke detectors in the garage, laundry room, and near the furnace.

Dust Often to Maintain a Healthy and Safe Home

Failing to dust your home frequently is a problem for a few reasons. In addition to detracting from the aesthetic appeal of your living areas, excessive dust contributes to a wide range of health-related issues. Asthma can worsen in a dusty home and healthy family members may experience allergy-like symptoms. Dust regularly and declutter your living spaces to eliminate items that collect dust.

Let Professionals Assist You

To keep your home healthy and safe, hire professionals to assist you. For example, pest control experts can treat your property to make sure your loved ones aren’t exposed to the bacteria and droppings left by rodents and insects.

Hire a professional to perform water testing and learn about any pollutants in your household water supply. Some home inspectors offer mold inspections and radon testing so you can learn if these substances are health hazards in your home.
