It’s never all that fun to notice things in our homes that don’t seem to have an obvious explanation.

I don’t know about you, but whenever I stumble upon a mark on the wall that wasn’t there before, or detect the faintest hint of a strange smell, I immediately wonder if it’s going to be something that gets worse and, ultimately, if it’s going to cost me money to fix in the long run.

Now, it should go without saying that strange marks or unexplainable discoveries in the kitchen of all places, can often cause alarm.

After all, this is where food is prepped, and usually the one area of your house where you want to have full control of everything and anything that’s going down.

One homeowner, however, was at a loss as to the explanation behind a series of strange black dots she kept finding.

Does anyone have any idea what these points might be?” she asked in the Facebook group ‘WeLoveMrsHinch”.

“They first appeared on the kitchen tiles, then on top of the PC we keep in the kitchen this morning.”

Thankfully there were other Facebook users who were able to give her a definitive reply, though the answers likely weren’t ones she was hoping to receive.
