When it comes to keeping a clean house many families only focus on sweeping, vacuuming and sanitizing. However, dusting and maintaining air quality is also a key part of keeping your home neat and comfortable. You’ll need to dust frequently to remove the recurring layer of dirt, dander, pollen, and allergens that accumulate on surfaces and contaminates the air inside your home. Here are three dusting tips to get you started.

Dust Your Home the Right Way with This Advice

1. Use Microfiber Cloths

Many fabrics and materials like feather dusters will disturb dust without capturing it. This can lead to a lot of work with little results. Microfiber cloths have thousands of fibers per square inch making them better at catching dust to prevent it from floating around your home. 

2. Don’t Forget Hard-to-reach Areas

People think they have a clean house when they dust the areas they can see like shelves and appliances. While these are great places to start, it’s necessary to also dust areas that are harder to get to like the corners of rooms, ceiling air vents and the tops of doors. These spots host plenty of dust that negatively affects the air quality in your home. 

3. Start at the Top

If you’ve ever swept stairs, you quickly learned to move from the top to the bottom as dirt moved downward with gravity. While dust weighs less than dirt, it too will float downward. To maintain a clean house, it’s important to start dusting at the top of each room (like ceiling fans and trim) before moving down to picture frames, shelving, furniture, and finally the floor.
