Better call Saul: what housework should not be done on your own

Many people believe that they can handle any task at home. As a rule, they repair appliances and clean up on their own.

However, there are some household tasks that are better left to professionals. Better Homes & Gardens has described them in more detail.

If you doubt that you can perform cleaning tasks efficiently and safely on your own, then you shouldn't take the risk. It is better to call for professional help. This will save you stress and ensure the best results.

Range hoods

If you've ever walked into someone's home and smelled a musty odor, it's possible that the hoods and air ducts haven't been cleaned in a while. If not cleaned properly, this can lead to health problems. However, it's almost impossible to do a good job on your own, so it's best to call in the experts.

Carpets

You can do surface cleaning of carpets yourself, but vacuum cleaners do not suck up all the dirt. As a result, they accumulate a lot of odors and allergens over time, so it's worth calling in professionals for deep cleaning with powerful equipment.

Windows

Windows that you can easily reach while standing firmly on the ground can be cleaned by yourself. However, if you live on higher floors, you should never lean out of the windows to clean hard-to-reach areas. It is better to hire a professional company with special equipment.

Chimneys

If you live in a house with a chimney, it should be thoroughly cleaned at least once a year. However, since this process involves climbing up on the roof and requires special tools, it is better not to try to do it yourself.

Dryer vents

Many manufacturers recommend cleaning the dryer vents twice a year to reduce the chance of fire and other home and health hazards. Many people do this on their own, but it is recommended to hire a professional for a deeper cleaning.

Mold

Most of the jobs listed above are not recommended for do-it-yourselfers, as they can be dangerous if done incorrectly and without the proper equipment or experience. Mold certainly falls into this category as well.

Fungi can be very harmful to health. In addition, if you do not remove it completely, you may face the problem again.
