A few months ago I moved into a brand new property with a brand new roommate.
- As you know, it’s always a substantial adjustment when you are getting involved with somebody new.
It’s never straight-forward to live with another human because everybody has diverse preferences and odd personal quirks that you have to overcome. One of the things that I thought was going to be an ongoing challenge was my roommates obvious body odor. I never noticed that he was smelly before, but as soon as my friend and I got into the same property together our indoor air quality was actually suffering from odorous contamination. I did not know how to approach the smelly situation with him, so I kept my mouth shut and began pumping air fresheners into our indoor air. The air fresheners never actually disattached the unlucky airborne smell, but added floral notes to the rank odors I was detecting each day, and eventually, I realized I was going to have to say something about the low quality indoor air and his hygiene concerns. Fortunately, it never got to that point because my roommate broke the same news to me. He sat me down one day and tried to have a talk about my smelly nature. When my friend and I both stared at each other inquisitively, my friend and I realized that maybe nobody was to blame for the unlucky airborne contamination. That’s when I called a central heating and cooling serviceman and asked them to inspect our HVAC ducts work and filtration devices. The certified heating and cooling pack hastily revealed the problem; our HVAC ducts were completely packed with mold and mildew that was creating a barnyard effect as our central heating and cooling system operated each day. Thank God, I don’t have to teach my roommate about showering.
