Dust Tips

From (www.gardensandhome.com)

Carpeting is probably the biggest offender as far as a dust collection is concerned. Replace carpeting with a hard floor surface like ceramic tile, linoleum, or hardwood floors.


Replace curtains with blinds. Today's wood and vinyl blinds no longer just shade the room and afford privacy. They come in a variety of decorative designs, colors, and materials.


Place zippered allergen covers over your box spring and mattress. Use only washable bedding. Forgo the decorative pillows. Wash sheets, blankets, clothing in water that is at least 130 degree Fahrenheit. Anything lower will not kill dust mites.


Replace upholstered furniture. Choose wooden furniture that is easy to wipe down and will withstand frequent cleanings.


If possible store clothing in another room. If you can't, consider storing clothing in plastic bags like the space bags that you suck the air out of.


Vacuum frequently with a strong vacuum equipped with a filter. Wipe down all surfaces frequently including walls, sills, door casings and floors.


Use an electrostatic or HEPA filter in the room. According to the US Department of Health and Human Services these type of filters can remove many allergens from the air.

The easiest way to keep up with a dust free room is to keep clutter to a minimum. The fewer things you have in the room to collect dust, the less you will need to dust. Just think of how much extra time you will have other things!
