Regular dusting is the cornerstone of dust control. If you are not able to do this yourself hire a house cleaner and make sure they use a microfiber cloth or a duster.

A high-quality vacuum cleaner equipped with a HEPA filter is crucial. Vacuuming your carpets, rugs, upholstery, and hard floors should be done on a regular basis.

Your Dust’s Favorite Hiding Spots are in Your Bedding and on Your Curtains. Bedding and curtains are prime spots for dust accumulation. You might want to establish a routine in which your bedding changed/washed weekly and be sure to launder your curtains periodically to remove trapped dust. Be sure to opt for washable curtains and dust-resistant bedding materials to minimize dust buildup.

Vacuum furniture surfaces using a brush attachment, and wash or clean removable covers as recommended. This prevents dust from settling and becoming a persistent issue. If you have leather furniture you can more easily see the dust. Of course it depends on the color of the leather. However, dusting with water damp cloth should easily capture the dust.
Prevent Dust From Entering Through the Seal Cracks and Gaps in Your Home. Dust often enters through gaps and cracks in windows, doors, and walls. Seal these openings using weatherstripping, caulk, or adhesive strips. Preventing dust entry at the source reduces the amount of dust that will need to be removed.

Do You Have Too Much Stuff in Your Home? Do you realize that if you have less stuff, you will have less dust? Clutter attracts and traps dust, so it is essential that you declutter your home.
