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 type of microscopic fungus that may become airborne and is potentially lethal when inhaled, as evidenced by what happened to Rover. Fortunately for me, the black mold grew in a place I didn’t stay in for long periods of time. But, it was one of Rover’s favorite places in the house.
Black mold, like all other fungal growths that plague mankind, thrived in moisture. As such, the bathroom was an ideal place for them to flourish, as long as the place is not regularly maintained. But then, I cleaned my bathroom regularly, so it didn’t make sense. So I looked into it some more, and found out that as small organisms, they could live even in the grout between the tiles. I’ve always ignored that part, thinking that it was too small to be an actual danger. I was wrong.
Long story short, I checked online for help. I got the contact numbers of professional grout cleaners and called them up. They went by in a day or so and cleaned up the bathroom (Rover’s favorite place to sleep). They did a sterling job, and Rover was soon back to a household free from mold.
Rover seems to be feeling a bit sick after his operation. He doesn’t seem to be as active as before all this, but if anything he’s a lot calmer now, and he does seem to be getting better. I know I’m doing everything in my power to ensure that my faithful doggy companion doesn’t get sick again.
