Ways to Reduce Dust in Your Home

Having an excessive amount of dust in your home is one of the main contributing factors to poor air quality. Ridding your home of this dust can increase your indoor air quality dramatically. Here’s how you can do just that:

Dusting Normal methods of dusting can cause dust to recirculate into the air without actually being removed from the house. Instead, use an electromagnetic duster to pick the dust up and relocate it to the trash. You can also wipe dust away, but you will need a wet surface. For this you will need a VOC-free household cleaner to apply to dusty areas before wiping.

Vacuuming It’s important to remember that you should begin vacuuming after you have finished dusting. Any excess dust that is kicked up into the air will eventually settle elsewhere. You can suck up most of this dust if it lands on the floor by going over it thoroughly with the vacuum.

Reducing dust in your home won’t just make your home look more presentable, it will also make it more breathable. Using these methods to reduce dust in your home paired with having your HVAC system serviced is a championship combination.
