Your home fabrics are important to stay healthy and to keep your home hygienic. Dust can cause respiratory problems and make your home look cluttered. Make sure you use the right tools for efficient fabrication. It is important to use a high-quality duster and feather duster. Make sure you dust places that are difficult to reach, such as the places behind appliances and cracks and corners in cupboards. Take steps to make your home less dusty. Regular cleaning and vacuuming can help prevent dust from collecting in your home.

To step

Part 1 of 3: Efficient substances

1. Choose the right tools. Many products in the store that are intended for dusting do not actually help to remove dust very well. With a feather duster or dry cloth you don't actually remove dust at all, you just move it. Choose a high-quality microfibre cloth, as well as a good quality feather duster or dish.
   • A duster must be static. Look for electrostatic microfiber cloths that stick to your skin when you handle them.
   • A feather duster should not have feathers, but microfiber material. Make sure to check out the feather duster before you buy it. See if the material sticks to your hand.
2. Protect yourself from irritation. This is especially important if you have allergies and asthma. Sneezing and coughing may make it harder to get rid of unwanted dust in your home. Wear a mask when cleaning, especially if your house is very dusty.
3. Use your duster efficiently. Unfold the cloth and place it on the dusty surface, covering as much of the surface as possible. You shouldn't have to use sprays anymore if you have a high-quality duster.
   • Wipe the surface with the cloth, applying light pressure.
   • Always try to swipe in one direction.
   • If the cloth is covered with dust, turn it over and use the other side.
   • Dust any surfaces in your home that have accumulated dust.
   • Wash your dusters in the washing machine after every cleaning. Do not wash them with clothes and use regular detergent.
4. Use a feather duster. It is best to use a feather duster or dishwashing duster to dust places in your house that are difficult to reach. Places such as ceiling fans, high cabinets and the tops of bookcases can be dusted with a feather duster or dishwashing ball.
   • If necessary, slide out the feather duster or dish to remove unwanted dust. Make slow back and forth movements.
   • It is a good idea to place a tarpaulin or cloth on the floor to catch the dust that falls down when you fabric. It is important to vacuum or sweep after dusting.

Part 2 of 3: Removing dust from tricky areas

1. Dust electronics. Electrical appliances are a major source of dust in your home and are often overlooked. DVD players, stereos, game consoles and other electrical appliances can collect a lot of dust.
   • Unplug the appliances before dusting them.
   • Wipe all sides of your devices with a microfiber cloth to remove dust. If there is dust in the cracks and openings of larger appliances, use a feather duster with a long handle to remove the dust.
   • Also check for dust around the devices instead of just dusting the devices themselves. Vacuum dust from cords and vents, as these areas usually collect a lot of dust.
   • Some people use compressed air to blow dust out of electronics. This may be safe with some electronics, but always read the user manual before using compressed air. Compressed air can be too strong for some electrical devices.
2. Remove dust from stuffed animals. If you have kids or collect stuffed animals, know that stuffed animals can collect a lot of dust. Washing stuffed animals in the washing machine can cause them to wear and discolour, but there is an easy way to remove dust without washing your stuffed animals. Baking soda can help get dirt and dust out of your stuffed animals' material.
   • Place all stuffed animals in a large plastic bag. If you have a lot of stuffed animals, you may need several bags.
   • Put 250 grams of baking soda in the bag. Close the bag at the top and shake it well.
   • Take the bag outside. Take the stuffed animal out one at a time, then shake them out to get rid of large clumps of baking soda.
3. Dust behind and under appliances. Dust under large household appliances can be bad for your health. In addition to dust, dirt particles can also collect in that place, which attracts vermin and mice. Move the appliances away from the wall and unplug the power cord.
   • Use a slightly damp sponge mop and mop it along the wall to remove dust and dirt.
   • Clean the rest of the floor with hot soapy water.
   • Push the device back against the wall and plug it back into the wall socket.
   • Remove dust from the corners of cabinets. These places are also often skipped when dusting because it is difficult to reach them. You can use a makeup brush or paintbrush to brush dust off these areas. Then remove the dust that has been swept away with a microfiber cloth.
4. Remove dust from ventilation openings. Ventilation openings can cause a lot of dust to enter the air, so it is important that the dust is removed. You can use a vacuum cleaner and attachment with a soft brush or an electrostatic mop to remove dust from these areas.
   • Run the vacuum cleaner or mop over the vents to pull the dust out.
   • Wipe the ventilation openings with a damp microfiber cloth.
   • If there are removable filters, such as with air conditioning system, remove the filters from the openings and clean them with warm soapy water. Let the filters dry before putting them back in.
5. Remove dust from a ceiling fan. First, put a tarpaulin or old newspaper on the floor under the fan. A lot of dust will fall from the ceiling fan.
   • Turn off the fan. Get a damp paper towel and a household stepladder. Stand on the steps and gently wipe the accumulated dust from the fan blades.
   • In this case, you can also put a mild cleaner on a mild cleaner on a microfiber cloth to make the dust stick to it. Wet the cloth with a mild cleaner and gently wipe the remaining dust from the fan blades.

Part 3 of 3: Make your environment less dusty

1. Keep your car free of dust. Your car can get dusty just like your house. So regularly wipe the inside of your car with a wet microfiber cloth. Remove all floor mats from the car and also shake them to remove all dust and dirt.
   • Also remove all the waste from your car. Do not leave waste and old food in your car.
   • It's a good idea to vacuum your car from time to time to get rid of the build-up.
2. Prevent your workplace from getting dusty. Your workplace can also get dusty, so don't rely entirely on cleaners to keep your area dust-free. Bring some dusting aids yourself and dust your workplace at the end of each day.
   • Wipe down furniture and regularly wipe the floor under your desk.
   • Also clean up clutter, as clutter can attract dust. Make neat piles of your papers and throw away old memos and letters that you no longer need.
3. Clean and vacuum your house regularly. Do this at least once a week.Many people are amazed at how quickly rooms and surfaces become dusty. Buy a vacuum cleaner with a high-quality filter to ensure you get as much dust as possible.
   • Do not only vacuum your carpet, but also your furniture. Vacuum the cracks and corners of your sofas and chairs. Dust can also collect in these places. If you have pets, you will certainly find a lot of dander and hair in these areas.
4. Consider getting rid of your carpet. Carpeting is not ideal if you are allergic or sensitive to vent dust. If you have carpet in your house, it is very difficult to control the amount of dust, because carpeting always traps dust.
   • A hardwood floor, tile floor, or linoleum floor is a better option if you want to make your home less dusty.
   • If you want carpeting, don't go for deep pile carpet. This type of carpet is known for being difficult to vacuum.
5. Protect your mattress from dust. Cover your mattress with a dust-resistant, hypoallergenic cover with a zipper. Clean your springs outside the bedroom so that no dust gets on your bed.
   • Synthetic mattress toppers and pillows may be more suitable if you want to reduce the amount of fabric.
   • If you put a second bed in your bedroom, make sure you put a cover around the mattress.
6. Wash your sheets regularly. All your bedding is washable. Wash sheets, blankets, and pillowcases at least once a week to prevent dust build-up.
   • Don't buy fluffy bedding. This is difficult to wash and attracts more dust.
   • Bed linen with down or wool filling is also difficult to wash and attracts more dust.

Tips

• Generally speaking, cleaning up clutter can help reduce the amount of dust. Dispose of old items such as papers and letters, and make sure you have enough space in your house to store everything.
