10 Tips to Reduce Dust In Your Home
Finding dust in your home is no fun and inconvenient, as it triggers miserable allergies symptoms, making it difficult to enjoy time at home. While no amount of cleaning will completely remove the dust inside your house, these simple and easy ten tips are proven and keeping it at bay:
- Clean throughout – Clean first on the highest surfaces and work your way down, so you seize any dust you overlooked in between them.
- Change your sheets and beddings once a week – Dust mites love to dwell in sheets, pillows, and beddings. Encasing your mattress and box spring in an allergen-proof cover, in conjunction with washing your bedding once a week, should be enough to keep them clean as always.
- Keep tidy closets – Clothes stored in closets cast lots of fiber and dust. So unless you want a blast of dust each time you open the closet door, it is best to store and enclose them in garment bags, plastic containers, or boxes.
- Remove clutters from the floor – Don’t ignore piles of clothing, toys, magazines, books, or anything else littered on the floor. Cleaning around them won’t take care of the dust that has settled on them.
- No to carpeting – It may look gorgeous, but carpets are high-maintenance and attract more dust mites and other harmful contaminants. They should be cleaned daily using a vacuum cleaner. When planning to replace your carpets, stick to hardwood, vinyl, linoleum, or tile flooring is the best alternative.
- Mop the floors, Always! – A wet mop will collect the dust that you missed after sweeping the floors.
- Beat it outside – Dust from area rugs, sheets, and pillows should be beaten outside your home.
- No feather dusters, Please! – Feather dusters only increase existing dust and cause it to settle around your home. Instead, use a damp cloth or moist towel to wipe down surfaces inside your home.
- Clean air ducts and vents regularly – Dirty air vents can build up dust, dirt, and grime. Give it a thorough clean and this will improve the ventilation to your home.
- Air Purifiers – Reduce dust particles using an air purifier and store them close to your windows. This will prevent airborne contaminants from getting in and circulating your home.
