No-Fuss, No-Muss Ways To Control Airborne Dust
Airborne dust is the enemy you see twinkling in the rays of sunlight in your home. It collects on your expensive electronics, behind and under large appliances, on clothing, furniture, and food. If you have dust buildup behind an appliance, it may affect the longevity of the appliance. Cleaning dust once it has settled may seem easy, but once it is disturbed it takes flight again.
Airborne dust is a frequent complaint of allergy sufferers, causing runny noses, coughs, sneezes, bronchial infections, and more. In fact, airborne dust may account for many costly doctor visits, prescriptions and over-the-counter medications.
Luckily there are ways to reduce dust in your home:
Do-it-yourself methods
- Replace air conditioning filters when necessary.
- Reduce or eliminate clutter, knick-knacks and free-standing pictures.
- Use aerosol dust spray to clean behind TVs, electronics and lamp shades.
- Clean behind and under appliances.
- Clean ceiling fan blades and blinds.
- Vacuum carpets and furniture frequently for dust and mites.
- Wash linens weekly.
Professional methods
- Have HVAC equipment properly sized and installed by a certified technician.
- Have a professional properly seal your ductwork.
- Schedule routine HVAC inspections.
- Have your ducts, vents and registers professionally cleaned.
- Have a whole-house air purification system installed.
