How to get rid of dust in rooms for a long time: 8 effective life hacks from housewives

Tired of the dust that appears immediately after cleaning? It's time to find out where it comes from and take action!

Even after the most thorough cleaning, dust appears the very next day. But there are methods to help extend the "dust-free period". Telegraph writes about it.

Sources of dust in the house:

• Exfoliation of human and animal skin: This is an inevitable process, but it can be partially controlled by showering daily and brushing animals regularly.
• Hair: Regularly washing your hair and removing it from your clothes and furniture will help reduce the amount.

• Fabric fibers: Synthetic fabrics tend to produce more dust than natural fabrics.
• Wear and tear on furniture and floors: Over time, furniture and floors wear out, releasing small particles that become dust.
• Outdoor dust: It enters the room through windows, doors, and vents.

How to reduce the amount of dust:

• Clean regularly: Use a vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter to thoroughly collect dust from all surfaces.
• Ensure good ventilation: Open windows and use fans to keep fresh air circulating in the room.
• Clean textiles: Wash curtains, carpets, and other textiles regularly.
• Use protective covers: Cover mattresses and pillows with protective covers to prevent dust accumulation.
• Reduce the number of dust sources: If possible, remove dust-collecting items such as carpets, stuffed animals, and bookshelves from your home.

• Polish your furniture: Using a furniture polish or conditioner can help reduce dust buildup.
• Humidify the air: Dry air encourages the spread of dust. Using a humidifier will help keep dust in the air.
• Store items in vacuum bags: This will help protect them from dust when not in use.

Additional tips:

• Wipe dust with a damp cloth, not a dry cloth, to keep it from flying around the room.
• Ventilate the room after cleaning.

• Bathe your pets weekly.
• Do not let pets sleep on your bed.
• Change filters in air conditioners and air purifiers regularly.
