Saying Good Riddance To Dust In Your Home

• Dust affects every home the world over, however,
  eliminating it can be much more effective with
  the right tools. Feather dusters, for example,
  are one of the worst tools for helping to say
  good riddance to dust, and often make the
  problem worse by simply spreading the dust from
  one area of your home, to another. Microfiber
  dusters, on the other hand, are great at
  successfully snaring dust without shifting it
  about the place a damp, soft cloth works well,
  too. Vacuum cleaners with attachments for those
  hard to reach places in your home, are equally as
  effective, with cordless ones being the easiest
  to use when eliminating dust.

• Now that you know which are the right tools to
  help you say good riddance to dust, lets look
  at how you can use them on some of the most
  commonly affected areas of your home
• Your walls
• A vacuum cleaner with attachments is probably the
  best tool for this job, and remember to work from
  top to bottom to avoid having to re-vacuum

• Baseboards
• Spots of grime and dust on your baseboards can
  easily be eliminated with a damp cloth for
  tougher marks and stains you may want to use a
  cleaning product, too.
• Ornaments and curios
• Dust loves to gather on knick knacks and
  ornaments, and it can be tricky to get rid of
  without doing any damage. Probably the best way
  to dust these would be to use a clean paint or
  make up brush to get into the small nooks and
  crannies, and then wipe over carefully with a
  microfiber cloth.

• Electronic equipment
• We all know how quickly dust builds up on our
  television sets, not to mention any other
  electronic devices that we may have around the
  home. Since most devices do not respond well to
  being sprayed with a wet product not only does
  it leave smears, but its dangerous, too using
  a microfiber cloth is the most effective and safe
  way of cleaning them.
• Cuddly toys
• This simple tip will help draw out dust and dirt
  from cuddly toys place the items into a large
  plastic bag and tip in a cup of baking soda. Once
  youve securely

• fastened the opening of the bag, shake it well
  and remove the toys one at a time doing this
  outside avoids making a mess on your floors.
  Then, vacuum the toys to remove any remaining
  baking soda and dust.
• Behind refrigerators and stoves
• No matter how clean and tidy you are, there will
  always be a certain amount of dirt, dust and
  grime that accumulates behind kitchen appliances,
  and a mop with a long handle is one of the best
  tools for getting behind there and lifting off
  the dirt. If you can, you should move the
  appliance so that you can clean thoroughly behind
  it, but a mop and some hot, soapy water should be
  good enough if youre unable to.

• Air vents
• If a vent can be removed and soaked in hot, soapy
  water, so much the better, but if this isnt
  possible, you can use a damp microfiber cloth or
  if the dust appears to be loose, a vacuum with a
  soft brush attachment should do the trick.
• Ceiling fans
• To try and avoid spreading the dust from the
  ceiling fan, to the rest of your home, place a
  large piece of plastic sheeting or some newspaper
  underneath the fan before you begin cleaning it.
  Youll doubtless need a step stool to reach the
  fan, and damp paper towels or a soft bristled
  brush soaked in a cleaning solution should
  suffice.

  work, why not try using a professional cleaning
  service who will have the experience and
  expertise to tackle dust throughout your home.
