Dust cleaning is one of the biggest challenges we have tried to handle daily. House dust is enemy number one when it comes to cleanliness at home. Every homemaker has attempted to find a way to get rid of it, but dust is always there. On counters, on furniture, in the ornaments of the decor … everywhere. And to think that dust is one of the main problems to blame for much of allergic diseases…

Unfortunately, it turns out that even regular classic house cleaning with a vacuum cleaner and a rag is not a guarantee for dealing with dust. Therefore Premium Clean offers some dust cleaning tips on reducing the penetration and accumulation of annoying particles.

No to the dust cleaning brushes with synthetic fibers! 

Yeah, you know what we mean a dust cleaning brush – plastic sticks, with “shaggy” artificial fibres in a variety of colours. At first glance it seems that this dust cleaning tool is very effective in cleaning the dust, but only at first glance. In practice, this type of brush is not helpful, as there is no way to absorb the dust (or at least the majority of it) but only scatter it through the air. It would be much more helpful to slightly damp plain cotton cloth because dust will stick to it. That work would be done wonderfully even with household wipes.

Without airflow

We all like to open the window while cleaning or after we are done to let fresh air in – it is understandable, even desirable to happen at least once a day. But what we should avoid is current. You risk not only a cold but also dust being spread among all rooms.

With more attention to textiles

While removing dust, don’t skip a nice tapping of the decorative pillows and furniture covers. Such kinds of textiles collected quite a large amount of household dust. It would also be a helpful frequent change of linen, curtains and drapes. While washing them remember to add an antistatic fabric softener. We can’t stop there with textile – be sure to take care of plush toys in the children’s room. Every child loves them and can’t hide them without getting the little child angry. However, you can minimize dust on the toys by storing them in a special box or basket.

Moisture

Moisture is a prerequisite for mold formation, and that negative feature should not be underestimated. On the other hand, increased moisture levels in a room mean less static electricity, which leads to less dust on furniture and appliances.

Dust Cleaning Without delusions for the floor

Many homemakers believe that laminate flooring attracts more dust particles compared to carpets. Well, this is an illusion. The truth is that dust gets stacked everywhere. It’s just more visible and easier to clean on laminate. It is not visible how much dust is in and on the carpet until it needs cleaning.

Speaking of carpet and dust, it is impossible not to mention the vacuum cleaner – the favorite device of any housewife. And for a good reason – thanks to it cleaning is easier and faster. Still, do you clean your carpets properly?

Using a vacuum cleaner is very easy, but it is also easy to make basic errors. Here are some examples:

You don’t regularly clean the vacuum bag

When you turn off the vacuum cleaner and blissfully imagine how you will relax you hardly think to change the bag. Even if you remember you catch yourself saying “I’ll change it next time.” Next time, however, history repeats itself.

The unclean bag is the most common and dangerous mistake. This reduces the intake capacity of the cleaning device and can lead to overheating and engine damage. If your vacuum cleaner uses disposable paper bags you should replace it with a new one when it gets full to ¾ of its volume. Fabric bags you should clean after each use.

Do you check the filter?

Every vacuum cleaner has a filter. It is one of its most essential elements, and if it’s properly maintained, it can purify the air in the room. It is impossible to use an effective cleaning device if the filter is buried in dust. Fortunately, it doesn’t need such frequent change as the bag, but if it is visibly dirty or torn, you should change it with a new one.

Use only one attachment

Not surprisingly, every vacuum cleaner has several attachments. As you know, they are used for different surfaces. However, many homemakers get used to only one nozzle and forget about the rest. And they shouldn’t. Attachments can be excellent assistants to make cleaning more efficient. They can extract dust from hard-to-reach places and corners at home. Lampshades, sills, cornices and many others will no longer bury in dust.

Do you clean the tip?

Every home has it – hair, animal or human. And that is precisely what the vacuum cleaner is for! But how does it affect them? Have you noticed the suction power is minimal or not so effective even when you increase capacity? This is due to the hairs, which roll into a ball and get nested into the nozzle or tube (or both). Check regularly that doesn’t happen to your vacuum cleaner. Otherwise, it may lead to unpleasant consequences. You will risk the engine overheating and/or burning.
