When I married my hubby, I didn’t exactly realize everyone that was coming along with him! Not only is there her dog and her son, but then her parents drop into our home for a weekend every month without notice.
Not to mention all the tunesians who stop into city for gigs and crash at our locale; Plus all of our friends who drive cross country to visit, and it feels like continual visitors, rotating in and out of our pro-bono AirBNB.
I don’t mind having the corporation around the house, but there are a few aspects of the whole deal that try my personal anxieties, then for instance, all of the cleaning that goes into preparing a condo for guests, and sterilizing it again after they leave, you see, I’m a bit of a germ nerd, and I’m most distraught about the bacteria my buddy and I breathe. I struggle with the thought of indoor air contamination stemming from strangers’ coughs, dander, and sneezes. I do not love the idea of these guests leaving pieces of themselves behind, and my indoor air handling system circulating those airborne pollutants all throughout my home, that’s why I’m obsessive about our indoor air quality, and continually pestering my hubby for a media UV air purifier; Currently, after our guests leave, I have to go through and change all the air filters in our heating and cooling equipment, try my best to vacuum out the air ducts, and disinfect down the air vents in every room. I disinfect down every surface, and even went so far as to purchase UV sterilization lights to zap any remaining bacteria circulating in the air. I would much rather have a real UV air purifier hooked right up to our current Heating, Ventilation, and A/C plan to unfasten all the airborne toxins. If he’s bringing all these germs into the house, she should help me get them back out.
