How to get rid of dust at home: five effective ways

It's challenging to eliminate dust in your home, even with daily wet cleaning. However, some life hacks can help reduce the amount of dust at home.

Dust in the house is caused by various factors - dead skin particles, pet hair, fragments of different fibers, paper, and fabrics. OBOZREVATEL has compiled five of the most effective tips to help get rid of dust.

Purify the air with a humidifier

Experts recommend purchasing a humidifier. Besides increasing the humidity level, it can also perform a cleaning function, preventing dust from forming quickly.

How often should you do wet cleaning

It makes sense that the more often you perform wet cleaning, the less dust you'll have in the room. Therefore, clean your home regularly if possible. Use two cloths for dusting - one dry and one damp.

How houseplants can help

Houseplants can purify the air, but proper care is crucial. Plants can only function as a sort of air filter when they are free of dust and dirt. So, spray the plants regularly with water and prevent dust accumulation on the leaves.

Cleaning technique

When wiping dust from surfaces, avoid using circular or sideways motions. Instead, wipe from top to bottom. Begin cleaning high surfaces first, such as cabinets, refrigerators, and air conditioners, and gradually move to lower surfaces.

Water filters on the vacuum cleaner

Consider investing in a high-quality vacuum cleaner with a water filter if it fits your budget. These vacuum cleaners not only remove dust effectively but also contribute to a cleaner and fresher home environment.
