Tired of the never-ending battle against dust that seems to invade your home?
No matter how much you clean, it always finds a way back, leaving you frustrated. But fear not!
It’s time to tackle this issue from a fresh perspective. Dust particles not only trigger allergies but also impact the air quality in your living space. Get ready to transform your home into a healthier haven with Thorough House Cleaning. In this guide, we present seven invaluable tips to prevent dust, ensuring cleaner homes and fresher air. Let’s embark on this journey to conquer dust together!
Tip #1 Close the windows
Whenever the house doesn’t have any odors, and the weather doesn’t demand that you cool off your living room, close your windows. Much of the dust comes from outside, and it’s worse for people living in a big city with all those cars and people spreading dirt.
Once your windows are shut, you’ll see almost right away how the shelves won’t layer that much dust and how someone in your family isn’t sneezing a lot when watching tv.
Tip #2: Groom your pets
In the case of allergies, you must avoid pet dander. Brush your four-legged friends regularly in one spot where cleaning will be easy. Wash their bedding as often as you should clean yours.
Keep their paws clean if they go outside often, and if they are allowed to sit on your couch, put a blanket on their spot and wash it frequently. In the case of cats, keep their litter box covered.
Tip #3: Keep your clothes dust-free
Clothes are dust traps, and if it’s not sweater season or shorts aren’t adequate right now, keep them in well-sealed containers until it’s time to wear them.
Also, every time you neglect your closet floors, you give dust a chance to fly freely by the time you open the doors, so keep your closet well vacuumed.
Tip #4: Change bedding weekly
When you go to sleep, you’ll be sharing the bed with dead skin cells that will join the rest of the specks in the air at some point—not to mention the dust mites roaming on your bedding! Make sure you rotate two sets of bed linens so you’ll always sleep on clean sheets.
Tip #5: Vacuum slowly
Whenever we feel pressed for time, we run the vacuum cleaner so fast we fail to trap all the dust. Every time you use the vacuum cleaner, make sure you patiently go over the surfaces to catch all the specks of dust and dirt.
Tip #6: Dust your baseboards with dryer sheets
It’s easy to forget to clean wooden baseboards. Luckily, there’s a way to reduce the need to clean them that often.
Dryer sheets are not only useful for laundry; their anti-static properties will protect your baseboards from dust and hair.
Tip #7: Damp your microfiber cloths
Dry tools such as your cloths or sweeper mops won’t help you if they just spread the dirt around.
Use a damp but not dripping microfiber cloth to catch the dust, and be sure to use the features from your smart mops.
