6 effective tips to help fight dust in your home
It seems that only yesterday the dust was wiped from the shelves and the floor, and today it is again in the same places. But do not give up and get upset. You just need to use some tricks in cleaning.
Vacuum the walls from time to time
On the walls, as well as on horizontal surfaces, dust also settles. It does not accumulate as quickly as on the floor, but sometimes you need to vacuum. If the vertical surfaces are not perfectly smooth, but corrugated, then over time they attract dust particles and become dust collectors.
The walls can be treated with a vacuum cleaner with a reduced power mode. Carrying out such cleaning regularly, you will soon notice that there is less dust in the house.
Make part of the shelves in the kitchen closed
Horizontal surfaces need to be wiped often, otherwise they will be covered with a layer of dust. Therefore, open shelves in the kitchen should not be done too much, especially in the area of the stove. Dust, along with particles of fat, will settle on open surfaces.
It is quite difficult to remove such pollution. The best way to maintain cleanliness is closed shelves. You can clean them much less often than open ones.
Clean on open bookshelves
Books are best kept in closed cabinets. So they are polluted the least and live longer. But, if you like to keep them on open shelves, then do not forget to regularly carry out wet cleaning. It is necessary to wipe not only the shelves, but also the books themselves.
Hide unnecessary decor items
Excess decor elements quickly become dusty, and wiping them long and difficult. Therefore, often they remain untouched. To make cleaning easier, dispose of or remove as much unnecessary items as possible inside the cabinet. It can be:
- figurines;
- Stuffed Toys;
- books
- vases;
- candles;
- children's drawings and crafts.
All these things not only create visual noise, but also become dust collectors. After the excess items are removed, wiping the surfaces will be very easy.
Do not forget to wipe the paintings
Pictures for dust like a magnet. First of all, the picture frames are contaminated. They must be cleaned with a damp soft cloth or cotton pad. This must be done carefully so as not to touch the canvas. The sheets themselves can be wiped with a dry cloth or a special soft brush for cleaning.
Replace carpets with tracks
Any floor covering with a pile contains an accumulation of dust. Even powerful vacuum cleaners are not able to completely get rid of this scourge. The best option is to remove the carpets altogether. In extreme cases, fluffy carpets can be replaced with tracks with a small pile.
In order to have less dust in the house, it is necessary to carry out wet cleaning daily. But, if it is difficult to devote so much time to wiping surfaces, then it is worth using our tips. They will help with less difficulty to effectively deal with dust.
