Here are 7 tips to reduce dust in your home:
Don't dry dust: Instead of using a feather duster, which just pushes dust around, use a damp microfiber cloth to trap and remove dust particles from surfaces.
Mind your entryways: Place doormats inside and outside your doors. This will trap dirt and dust before it gets tracked into your home.
Brush your furry friends: Regularly groom your pets to remove loose fur and dander, which can contribute to dust buildup.
Consider flooring options: Wall-to-wall carpeting can harbor dust mites and allergens. If possible, opt for hardwood floors or area rugs that can be easily cleaned.
Control moisture: Installing a whole-house humidifier can help reduce dust by preventing it from becoming airborne. Dust particles cling together more easily in dry environments.
Declutter regularly: The less stuff you have lying around, the less surface area for dust to accumulate on. Donate or toss items you don't use or need.
Vacuum frequently: Vacuum your floors at least once a week, using a vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter to trap even tiny dust particles. Be sure to vacuum furniture upholstery as well.
