How to Keep Dust Out!

It’s one of the most frustrating things… moving an item on a bookshelf only to see a clear outline of where something was sitting.

Or how about moving a piece of furniture and discovering a herd of “dust bunnies” has taken up residence.

Dust happens to everyone, even those who attempt to keep their homes spotless. While you can’t keep every last speck of dust out, you can greatly reduce the amount of dust that finds its way into your home.

Here are just a few ways to create a healthier (and more dust-free) home.

Run the HVAC

While you may enjoy having open windows when the weather is nice, using your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system is actually better for keeping dust out. As long as you make sure your filters are changed on a regular basis.

Doormats

While dust can become airborne, most soil comes into the home from shoes. Having quality door mats to catch the dirt means less build-up of soil and debris in the home, reducing dust particles as well. Leaving shoes on the doormats or at the door is another smart idea.

Cleaning

Yes, you clean on a regular basis, but some extra effort with the details will help keep the dust out. When dusting tables, desks, bookshelves, and other surfaces, use microfiber cloths to better grab the dust. When sweeping the hard floors, follow up with a damp mopping. It will really grab the dust sticking to the floor. Be sure to vacuum not only the top of your area rugs but also turn them over and vacuum the backs. And for your wall-to-wall carpet, vacuum several times a week, especially in high-traffic areas and entryways.

Zhael and Audrey were very professional and did a great job- both with carpets, area rugs, and upholstery. We had used Bluegrass Cleaning in the past, and will continue in the future as needs arise.
