• Dust with a damp cloth
• Trapping dust, instead of simply moving it
  around, is made easier with the use of a damp
  cloth use a surface cleaner, furniture polish or
  just water to dampen the cloth.
• Always begin dusting at the top
• If you start dusting at the bottom, youll simply
  have to re-dust when you finish at the top, since
  youll have shifted a lot of debris and dust
  southward. Begin at the top, and work your way
  down for a more effective and less time-consuming
  cleaning method.

  will help you to significantly reduce the number
  of pollutants within your home.

  hygienically clean, but whatever type of flooring
  you have, its important to vacuum them regularly.

  mites if you keep the humidity levels at 40 or
  below.

• Heating and air conditioning units all have
  filters that can trap dust mites and debris

  found floating around your home and settling in
  the corners.

  there are for dust and other debris to settle on.

  turning a fan on to keep fresh air circulating.

  steps, you can dramatically reduce it and make
