How Do You Get Rid Of Household Dust?
Face it: Dust is everywhere. Coming from tiny dead insect parts and excrement, animal dander, dirt, pollen, mold and human skin flakes, it can seem like an impossible task to get rid of it. Dusting the wrong way only kicks it up into the air we breathe, and we only find it settled again the next day on our furniture. When it comes to getting rid of household dust, we have to take an offensive approach. Put away the feather dusters, and limit the sweeping. All they serve to do is make dust airborne. You don’t want it airborne, you want it gone. Vacuum at least once or twice each week. Rather than just stirring dust, vacuums suck it up. Vacuum carpeting, rugs, hardwood floor, upholstery, throw pillows and draperies to keep dust collection to a minimum. Use a vacuum with a high-efficiency particulate air, or HEPA, filter. Change filters or vacuum bags outside if possible, or carefully place them into a plastic bag (the less jostling the better) and seal the bag immediately, then dispose.
