7 Ways To Combat Dust In The Home

• Dust can be a real pain, and aside from making
  your home look dirty and unkempt, it can be bad
  for your health, too. However, there are ways to
  combat dust in the home, and here a few of them
• 1. Prevent dust from entering your home
• Did you know that 80 of household dust enters
  your home on the bottom of peoples shoes? While
  you may not want to have a no shoes inside
  policy, it will significantly reduce the dust
  levels. You could even leave a basket of washable
  slipper socks or slip-on shoes right inside your
  front door for guests to don when they enter.

• 2. Mats, mats and more mats!
• Placing sturdy mats outside and inside every
  entrance point to your home, will also reduce
  dust and dirt levels inside your home. Be sure to
  shake them out often to prevent them from adding
  grime to the bottoms of shoes, instead of
  reducing it.
• 3. Regularly replace your filters
• If you have any air filtering equipment in your
  home, or air conditioning units, try to regularly
  replace the filters to prevent them from getting
  clogged up and working inefficiently.

• If you have an open fire, then vacuum the hearth
  often to prevent ashes and dust from spreading
  into your home and try to replace the filter on
  your vacuum cleaner regularly, too.
• 4. Clean your bedding and mattress monthly
• Dead skin, dander and dust mites all build up in
  your mattress over time, so each time you clean
  your bedding which should ideally be done at
  least every 6 weeks vacuum your bed, too. You
  should also aim to run your comforter and pillows
  through the dryer on a fluff setting regularly
  and wash your pillows every 4 to 6 weeks.

• 5. Dont let your vacuum cleaner gather dust!
• If you live alone or with a small number of
  people, then it wont be necessary to vacuum as
  often, but the general rule of thumb would be to
  thoroughly vacuum each room in your home once a
  week you can reserve daily vacuuming for high
  traffic areas of your home as and when necessary.
• 6. Ditch the feather duster
• These are a real foe of dust haters, and usually
  make the issue even worse, since they serve only
  to spread the dust around. Instead, use the
  soft-bristled attachments on your vacuum cleaner
  to clean drapes, curtains, mini-blinds and
  baseboards. You can use a damp microfiber cloth
  for other surfaces.

• But whatever method you use, be sure that youre
  not simply spreading the dust around your home
  instead of eliminating it.
• 7. Clean your ducts
• Any air vents in your home are guaranteed to be
  harbouring dust and dirt, especially if there are
  kids or pets in the household. But clean them out
  at least once a month and you should minimize the
  dusty grime that blows around inside your home.
• Dust is the friend of no one, particularly
  homeowners, and if you feel as if dust is taking
  over your home, try hiring a professional
  cleaning company to help you eliminate it once
  and for all.
