Today's weekly cleaning tip is about dust in the home!
Dust often aggravates symptoms associate with allergies or asthma. Anyone who lives in Victoria, BC knows that our weather is very interesting. Although it rains a lot, we find that our clients who live in older homes are fighting against dust! This is one of our most popular requests when we clean older homes, "there's so much dust everywhere!"
Follow these tips to help combat your dust nightmares:
1. Doormats: Make use of door mats because they trap dirt and dust at the front door.
2. Clean rugs: Take all rugs in your home outside at least once a week and shake them out thoroughly.
3. Keep Pets Clean: Pets shed, and particles on pets can cling to surfaces. Make sure pets are well groomed and litter boxes are clean as well.
4. Air Circulation:
For people experiencing severe dust problems, keeping windows sealed and shut and investing in central air may be worth considering. Also, look into air purifiers.
4. Zero carpets: Carpets easily pick up dust and other particles. For our cleaning clients with sensitive dust allergies, we highly recommend zero carpets and opting for wood, tile, or laminate floors.
5. Change your bedding once a week: Dust mites love to hide in sheets, mattresses, and pillows.
