Whats the best way to keep my apartment clean of dust?
Having spent two hours the other weekend cleaning my glass shelving and bits & pieces stored on them, I realised that ‘little and often’ is the key. This week it took me less than 10 minutes to run a duster over everything. Actually having to do some housework is unavoidable. I find that using tumble-dryer sheets to wipe over glass shelves, the TV and stereo reduces the amount of dust due to the anti-static properties of the fabric conditioner. (Plus, it smells nice when the TV is on and the fragrance from the dryer sheet evaporates into the air with the heat from the TV.) Once everything is clean, it’s much easier to keep it down. Oh, and I took up the carpet in my living room because there’s parquet underneath. It gets far dustier than the carpet ever did. With a good vacuum cleaner (Dyson), dust in a carpet should not be difficult to shift.
