Don’t let what happened to Rover happen to your pet, as well.

Just recently, Rover, my pet dog, was found to have black mold poisoning. As it turns out, my household had a fungus infestation somewhere around. Black mold is a potentially dangerous airborne fungus that strikes the lungs. This was a surprise to me, as I always took care to keep my household clean.

I went online to research on black mold and found out some interesting things about it. What got my attention in particular was the mold’s preference for breeding in moist areas. Armed with this information, I figured out where the black mold could’ve been growing and tracked it down.

It’s funny how I didn’t notice it before; but for all my cleaning, I have always neglected the grout in between my kitchen tiles! I always thought that it was rather insignificant; it doesn’t take too much space, after all. But apparently, grout is especially susceptible to becoming a breeding ground for black mold, thus making it necessary to clean it.

Before I bring Rover home, I realized I needed to free my house from black mold. I initially thought I could just as well do it myself, but then I read that scrubbing black mold from grout may result in more mold going airborne. I had no intention of ending up like Rover, so I searched around for another way.

In the end, I decided to go ahead and hire professional grout cleaners; for a reasonable fee, they were able to get rid of my black mold problem. They also recommended a few ways to prevent the black mold from reappearing on my grout! With this preventive measure, I will only need to call them up twice a year at most. Rover still needs an operation, but when he’s well enough to come home, he’ll be living in a home free of dirty grout.
