When you’re moving house it can be a stressful time. There are so many things that need to be done and so little time in which to do them. And, of course, there are always things that get overlooked until the very last minute. Most people find it hard to see past the everyday items in their home. But professional house clearance services have a different view. They see things from a completely different perspective and will highlight problems and risks that you may not have even seen before. Things like dangerous items like old gas cans, broken glass, rusty tools, etc., might not seem like much individually but they could potentially pose a danger if left in an unsupervised home.
Dangers of unmarked gas cans
Gas cans are a common item that most people have lying around their properties. Unfortunately, they need to be disposed of carefully and many people put them in their rubbish where they can cause harm. Gas cans often don’t have a “red band” around the top that is used to indicate that they contain flammable liquids. This makes them even more dangerous as people may not be aware of their presence or the risk they pose. Gas cans can cause a fire or explosion, especially if they are stored in a garage or other place where there are flammable materials.

Broken glass And razor-sharp objects
Broken glass is often an overlooked item that most people don’t think twice about. It can, however, be a serious hazard if children or pets are in the house. Broken glass can also cause an injury if someone trips on it. Broken glass could also be an indication that other items may also be broken and therefore not safe to handle. Razor-sharp objects are another item that people often forget about. Scissors, razor blades, and knives are all dangerous if left lying around the house. They can cause serious injuries if they are not kept under supervision.
Risky household chemicals
Some household chemicals have a limited lifespan and should be disposed of carefully. Others, such as pesticides and weed killers, can pose a serious health risk if they are left unsupervised. Pesticides and weed killers can cause serious health problems if they are not kept under lock and key. They can be harmful if they are consumed or inhaled. They can also cause serious injury if they are touched or come into contact with the skin.
Rusty tools and object with exposing edges
Rusty tools and other items with exposed edges can easily cut the skin and cause serious injuries if they are not kept under supervision. Unfortunately, many people don’t think about this until someone gets hurt. It is important to keep all tools in a place where children and pets can’t access them.
