Dusting 101

 

Homeowners may think they know all they need to know about dusting, but then their home ends up dirty again the day after a massive clean. Whether you consider yourself a dusting pro or not, there are a few crucial tips for anyone to follow to keep everything tidy for longer. Here are some smart dusting tips we highly recommend that will change your cleaning routine forever.

Dust In The Correct Direction

While dusting, keep in mind that dust falls. So, clean top to bottom in whichever room you’re working on to ensure you won’t have to clean up double the dust mess from higher up places. Work around the room and keep an eye on which parts and items sit up higher before going right to work in a section that might be lower. This will save you so much time and energy!

Brush Pets Often

Want to avoid continually having to dust around your home? One recommendation is that you make it a point to brush your pet’s fur at least once a day. This will help reduce shedding, and when too much animal hair hides around your home, it can make it easier for debris to linger longer. Getting your pet groomed is often a great way to keep the house spotless, while also keeping your furry friend smelling great!

Use The Right Tools

While a feather duster or paper towel with spray could do the trick, it’s not often completely done right. Instead, try to use a soft cloth dampened with water or a microfiber duster and anything else designed to pick up dust fast and efficiently. Plan so that you can make sure you have all the materials you need before cleaning day!

Professional Cleaning

There is some cleaning you can’t do thoroughly by yourself. And when dust and debris build up in your air ducts, attic, and crawl spaces, you’ll need to call for some backup. Luckily for you, we’ve got you covered. Some of your family members might even be more sensitive to dust contaminants than others. Allergy and asthma sufferers and young children, and the elderly, tend to be more susceptible to the types of low indoor air quality that air duct cleaning can help address. Breathe easier and live cleaner.
