What is dust?

A person does not notice, but with each breath he draws dust particles in addition to air. It’s scary to think, but on average he’s “eats” a lot of dust in this way - about 70 kg! Of course, not all particles reach the lungs - nature took care of this. But still breathing dusty air is not too pleasant.

Dust is a mixture of microparticles of mineral and organic origin. It may include dead epithelial cells, plant pollen, particles of animal hair and hair, tissue fibers, crumbs, dirt, etc. Its accumulation serves as a favorable environment for the development of saprophyte mites, whose waste products often cause allergies. Therefore, the question of how to get rid of dust in the apartment should be decided daily in every house, and especially where young children live.

How to deal with dust in hard to reach places? We analyzed 5 places where its number is always kept at a high level:

• cornices and curtains;
• upper tiers of the walls;
• bookshelves;
• TV, computer monitor;
• upholstered furniture, carpets.

Consider how to deal with house dust in each of the described cases.

Tip

Reduce dust formation will help:

• ventilation;
• humidification (especially in the winter season);
• air cleaning with a special household cleaner;
• the use of polishes to clean smooth surfaces;
• storing books in a glazed shelf;
• the use of leather furniture.

Cornices, curtains, upper tiers

A lot of street dust accumulates on the eaves and curtains. This issue is especially relevant for residents of the first floors and apartments whose windows overlook the roadway. The way out of this situation may be the replacement of curtains with blinds. It is enough to wipe them daily with a damp cloth to remove dust deposits. If the blinds do not fit into the interior created in the room, you will have to wash the curtains more often.

What to do to clean the cornice? You can use a brush with a telescopic handle. Then you do not have to climb on the stool and rearrange it several times. The material of the brush itself can be any one with a dust-holding property.

The upper tiers will have to be cleaned by hand, since it is impossible to get into the brush. To really reduce the amount of dust, and not just drive it away, you should use a microfiber cloth recommended for cleaning in child care facilities because of its dust-tightness. You can also moisten ordinary cloth (preferably cotton) fabric with water or soak with polish. Such cleaning will not allow dust to settle to the surface a few minutes after wiping. For lack of polish, folk experience suggests using antistatic.

Bookcases and appliances

Books are a well-known dust collector that accumulates a huge amount of dust. The option to refuse them is inappropriate even in our time of developed computer technologies and the widespread use of electronic books.Many people still consider old books to be best friends and continue to “make” new ones. Therefore, we will give other tips on how to deal with dust in a bookcase.

• To reduce book dust, purchase a cabinet with glazed doors.
• You can remove dust from books with a vacuum cleaner.

Use a cotton, lint-free cloth or microfiber cloth to wipe dust off the TV, computer, or laptop screens. Do not use paper towels or napkins because they leave fibers behind. Clean according to the scheme: from left to right, from top to bottom. Then no place will be missed. You can use special wet wipes to clean the monitors, however, before you wipe the TV screens with them, read the instructions. Some manufacturers prohibit this.

Upholstered furniture, carpets

A lot of dust accumulates in upholstered furniture, without which not a single interior is complete. So what to do? If there are small children in the house who are strictly forbidden to breathe “a suspension of debris”, when buying a new headset, give preference to eco-leather or leather furniture. Such material is easier to clean than fabric upholstery.

Upholstered furniture with a fabric coating requires weekly cleaning. It can be vacuumed, but this does not give impressive results. The furniture still remains a lot of dust. To remove it more effectively, moisten the old white sheet and cover it with furniture. Actively tap on the surface of the sofa with a carpet beater. Dust, leaving the furniture, will settle on a damp sheet, which will be evidenced by the formed gray coating.

A washing vacuum cleaner is perfect for carpet cleaning. For his lack of "shorthair" carpets, you can use a conventional vacuum cleaner, coupled with surface treatment with a wet sponge. To clean the "long-haired" carpet you need a very powerful vacuum cleaner. As a rule, they are expensive, so it is easier to order professional carpet cleaning once every 3-5 months. You will be surprised when you see how much debris and dust can lurk in a long pile carpet.

Every housewife should know how to deal with dust. Start cleaning with the eaves and the upper shelves and finish with the floor cleaner. This will take no more than an hour.

Now you know how to get rid of dust in an apartment in 60 minutes. After cleaning the room, it will immediately become easier to breathe and your mood will improve!
