Over 90% of household dust comes from small flakes of skin & hardly noticeable fabric fibers that hover on the slightest air current & settle on every surface in your house. If you’ve dust allergies, here is how to reduce it as much as possible to avoid prompting dust allergy reactions.
Organize your cabinets to limit the volume of dust:
Cabinets or closets are a haven for dust! Every time you open the door of your closet, you whip up an indiscernible dust storm. You cannot prevent garments from peeling fibers, but you certainly can keep your closet clean, which will significantly reduce the volume of dust.
Change bedding every week:
You comfortable bed is one of the main dust distributors, and that dust can multiply quickly if you don’t keep an eye on them. Your bedding accumulates skin flakes, peels its own threads, and let go a puff of dust every time you roll over. To reduce the fallout; don’t forget to clean sheets & pillowcases every week. Items that are not machine-washable don’t require weekly trips to the dry cleaners – just take bedspreads and blankets outside and shake them. You can blow some of the dust out of pillows, but for a proper cleaning, wash or dry clean them.
Make use of the right cleaning supplies:
The key is to detain dust, not just spread it around, which is exactly what dry rag and feather rags will do. Wet rags or disposable textiles that attract & hold dust with an electrostatic charge work much better. Fabrics that attract dirt with waxes or oils also work great but can leave remains on furniture. However, use vacuum attachments only on surfaces that are difficult to dust with a fabric, such as rough surfaces & intricate woodwork, because the exhaust stream from a vacuum whips up a dust storm.
Use the right vacuum:
Suction alone is not sufficient to pull much dust out of carpets. For excellent results, you require a vacuum with a powerful agitator (the brush that sweeps the rug). When it comes to wood, tile or vinyl flooring, your best option is a canister vacuum without an agitator (or with an agitator that can be deactivated).
