Dust:
experienced by all, and welcomed by none. Dust makes our homes look
dirty and triggers symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, and itchy
eyes. If you are sick of dusting every week only to do it again, try
out these tips to minimize the dust in your home.
Ditch the Duster
Traditional
feather dusters do a poor job of collecting dust, instead they just
spread it in the air for it to eventually settle on other surfaces.
Remove dust for good by dusting with a microfiber cloth, they are
electrostatically charged so they literally attract dust.
Start from the Top
The law
of gravity applies to dust too, so when you are cleaning a room,
start at the top and work your way down. This will prevent dust from
falling onto surfaces that you have already cleaned. For example,
start with the ceiling and ceiling fans, then the walls, then the
furniture, and finish up by vacuuming the carpet.
Replace Your Filter
Your
home's HVAC system has an air filter that should be cleaned or
replaced every month. Most homeowners aren't aware of this, and as a
result, the same filter has been sitting in their furnace for the
past decade. A clean filter will prevent dust from entering into your
system and circulating throughout your home.
Have Your Ducts Cleaned
The
average three-bedroom house generates more than 40 pounds of dust
every year, much of which ends up in your air ducts where it can be
recirculated to every room in the home. A professional duct cleaning
can remove this dust, as well as other contaminants such as pet
dander and mold, from your home in just a few hours.
