Sometimes when buying real estate, the new owner gets interior items. On the one hand, this is a good option - you can save on furniture.
But if you look closely at this issue, it turns out that some things bring nothing but problems to the new owner.
Yulia Tychino, an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti" in the field of design and interior, told what things should be thrown away when buying a home on the secondary market.
Wooden products
All wooden products must be subject to recycling. They can become infested with insects, and bark beetles in particular. The problem is relevant for private houses.
Small holes on the surface, wood dust and damaged areas should be a warning sign.
Carpets and textiles
No one can guarantee that pathogenic bacteria do not live in the depths of the fabric along with dirt and dust.
In addition, there may be particles of harmful household chemicals that were used to kill the parasites.
Even fleas and other small household insects can live in other people's carpets.
Upholstered furniture
This applies not only to armchairs and sofas, but also to mattresses and other furniture with soft decorative elements.
In addition to dust and small blood-sucking insects, bedbugs can live here.
Household appliances
This could be an old vacuum cleaner, refrigerator and old electrical appliances.
First of all, you should think not about saving, but about safety when using such equipment.
