Clean up your house to fix up your health

From my point of view there has been a steady growing and fairly toxic idea that it isn’t “manly” for men to keep their houses or living areas clean in the younger generation.

  • I am personally a neat freak that needs to have everything clean and tidy around me.

My best friend and roommate though, well he is quite the opposite. Most of the time when I walk into his room to talk to him I feel like I should put on some protective body gear it is so nasty. Dirty clothes, beer cans, and old food are littered everywhere. Along with this dirty way of living he has on his side of the apartment it turns out it has had a very big impact on his health. Last week when I made an appointment with the local HVAC heating and cooling company and had them send out a certified repair tech to do a checkup on the place, they came to find out that air ducts and ventilation system in his room were in terrible condition and were showing clear signs of mold growth. My roomate had been complaining of having a cold for what seemed like months now, and we finally found out the reason why. I gave him an ultimatum after the HVAC repair tech left. Either tidy up, or find a new place to live. He eventually decided to try and clean up after himself, and I hope he can stick to it. If not he will have to find a new place to live before I allow him to let mold creep into our air ducts!
