How to reduce dust in your home
With the hot, sunny weather currently at its peak, dust will definitely be a common feature in your home for the next few months. However, here are some helpful tips on how you can keep dust at bay:
- Free your home of clutter
The fastest and easiest way to accumulate dust in your home is by keeping unnecessary items which you hope to use later.
Hoarding boxes full of old clothes, toys or shoes can easily accumulate dirt, lint and create dust bunnies even if you clean every day.
Free your home of items you do not use so that cleaning is easy.
- Dust everyday
Of course, you cannot manage to do a thorough cleaning of your home every day, but the least you can do is dust the surfaces every day.
Dusting around helps get rid of dirt particles likely to accumulate over time and eventually make your house look untidy and dusty.
- Have a proper cleaning routine
To have a clean home, you need to have a proper cleaning order. First, you need to start with cleaning countertops, dusting chairs and cleaning windows before mopping the floor.
When you start with the floor, you are likely to avoid dusting the windows or chairs properly as this might spill stains on your clean floor.
- Consider keeping windows and doors closed
As much as we all look forward to fresh air every morning, this is also how natural elements like dust, pollen and mould spores get into a home and accumulate over time.
If you need to open your windows do it before cleaning. Also, try not to keep them open all day.
- Have curtain blinders
When you keep your windows open, ensure you have curtain blinders.
Blinders act as an air filter as they trap small dust particles when windows and doors are open.
Remember to wash your curtains regularly to reduce dust and dirt build-up. Read More...
