Dusting is one of those household chores that seems never-ending. No matter how often you dust, it seems to come back almost immediately. But what if we told you there’s a simple trick that will keep your house dust free for six months? Sounds great, doesn’t it? Read on to find out more.

The hidden threat

When you look at a layer of dust on the surface of furniture, it is easy to think of it as just an unsightly layer of dirt. But the truth is that dust is much more than that. Chemical analysis reveals the presence of various metals, which can be toxic in higher concentrations. Dust also contains mould spores, bacteria, pollen, dust mites and even human skin cells. So our aim should be to get rid of as much of it as possible.

Try a fabric softener

There’s a surprising solution that can help keep your surfaces clean for longer. Better still, it’ll give your home the wonderful smell of freshly washed laundry.

Fabric softener is a fantastic dust remover due to its ability to eliminate static electricity. Static electricity is the main reason why dust collects so quickly on surfaces. When you apply fabric softener to surfaces, it helps to remove the static charge, preventing dust from forming and sticking.

Another benefit of fabric softener is its pleasant smell. When you wipe down surfaces in your home with fabric softener, a delicious scent fills the room, which is a nice bonus to cleanliness. You will feel that your home smells like freshly washed laundry.

Other ways

There are a number of other ways to reduce or at least eliminate dust in the home. The main ones are regular cleaning, vacuuming and mopping. You can buy a good quality air purifier. This is particularly worthwhile if you have an allergy sufferer at home. Good air purifiers can remove dust as well as pollen and pet dander. A humidifier is also a good idea, as it prevents excessive dust build-up.
