Ah, the ceiling space—a realm often forgotten, lurking just above our heads, collecting dust, debris, and the occasional rodent relic. It’s no wonder people ponder the necessity of vacuuming this hidden expanse. So, should you embark on this lofty cleaning adventure?
Why Consider Vacuuming Your Ceiling Space?
Aesthetic Cleanliness: If you’re aiming for a spotless home from top to bottom, remember that your ceiling space is out of sight but not out of mind. Dust and debris can accumulate over time, especially in older homes or those without proper roofing underlays.
Rodent Residue: Uninvited guests like rodents can leave behind droppings and nests. If your ceiling space has been a rodent Airbnb, a thorough cleaning might be recommended to remove contaminants and associated odours.
Health Considerations: Accumulated dust can harbour allergens, affecting indoor air quality. Cleaning the ceiling space can reduce potential allergens, benefiting those with respiratory sensitivities.
When Vacuuming Might Be Unnecessary
- Insulation Overhaul: When planning to add new insulation, laying it over the existing material can be beneficial. The old insulation can serve as an additional layer, enhancing thermal performance.
- Minimal Debris: Ceiling spaces with little to no debris, and no history of pests, vacuuming is an unnecessary endeavor.
