Dust - 10 Ways to Reduce Indoor Dust!

Dust buildup can’t be hidden and by taking preventive steps you can greatly reduce dust inside your home or office, while experiencing better indoor air. 
  1. Purchase cleaning tools that capture dust vs. pushing the dust around. 
  2. Always dust from top to bottom to allow dust to settle.
  3. Always vacuum after dusting to collect dust that has settled on the ground
  4. Make sure your vacuum has a clean and healthy brush roll to allow the vacuum to thoroughly agitate the floor carpet and bring the dust up from the carpet. Brush rolls should be cleaned monthly and replaced annually.
  5. Mop floors frequently as clean floors reduce indoor dust buildup tremendously. If not damp mopping a floor, make sure to use a good microfiber bad to capture the dust.
  6. Shake out entrance mats often. 
  7. Have your furnace filters changed quarterly and during peak seasons monthly.
  8. Consider placing filters in your floor vents to capture dust.
  9. Run good quality air purifiers that capture the indoor dust. This helps tremendously.
  10. Vacuum or wash your curtains and blinds at minimum a few times each year.
