Fighting dust seems to be a never-ending battle. You put so much effort into making your house spotless, only for a layer of dust to reappear out of nowhere. The key to having a dust-free home is knowing the most effective dusting techniques and tools to use. Here are some useful hacks to keep dust under control.
Clean Your Ductwork
Cleaning your air ducts is the ultimate way to reduce dust in your home. A significant amount of dust and other allergens can collect in your ductwork over time. Dust spreads quicker in a house with dirty ducts. Hire a company that offers duct cleaning services to come to your home, clean your ductwork using professional tools, and vacuum your air vents, removing all the residual dust.
Dust Like a Pro with Microfiber
Microfiber cloths are electrostatically charged; hence they literally attract and capture dust. That’s unlike feather dusters that just move the dust around. Microfiber cloths also shorten cleaning time. They collect dust from a variety of surfaces, from glass to furniture to electronics.
Replace Your Air Filter
Dirty filters are major sources of indoor dust. If you haven’t been changing your air filters, you’ll keep getting more and more dust inside your home. Be sure to change your filters regularly.
Dust from Your Ceiling Downwards
Dust particles fall from high surfaces to lower surfaces. Be sure to dust your rooms from the top down as well as clockwise to ensure you cover all the corners and moldings.
Install an Air Cleaner
Air cleaners are HVAC accessories with high filtration levels. They remove airborne particles like dust from your home’s air more efficiently than the passive HVAC filters.
Although dusting is necessary, it isn’t something that you look forward to doing frequently. Adopt the smart dusting techniques above to significantly reduce the amount of dust around your home.
