How to Get Rid of Dust Like a Professional | Haus Maids Fleet 

Why is it that every time you think you’ve got rid of the dust in your house, you turn around to find a layer of it somewhere you didn’t think to look? Or no matter how hard you try, it seems to reappear in a matter of hours? 

Unfortunately, you’ll never be able to remove all the dust in your house. It’s made of dead skin, hair, clothing, pollen, soil and a whole lot more that constantly accumulates in your living spaces. But with a few expert tips, you can learn how to get rid of dust more effectively and minimise the allergens and mites it comes with. 

Below, our house cleaners in Fleet share some of their best advice on managing dust like a pro. 

Preventative measures 

Learning how to keep dust at bay is just as important as learning how to get rid of it.  

Here are some things you can do to help: 

Use a doormat 

This is a simple tip, but it works! By placing a doormat at the entrance of your home, you’ll be able to trap more dirt before it’s spread around the rest of your home.  

It’s also a good idea to operate a ‘shoes off’ policy to keep dirt out. And if dust really bothers you, consider opting for hard floors; they’re less likely to collect dust. 

Remove clutter 

The more stuff there is in your living spaces, the more surfaces dust will have to cling to. Plus, decluttering is just good housekeeping practice. It never hurts to have a clear-out and free up more storage space! 

Circulate air 

Crack some windows open on days when you have a lot of people running around the house and stirring up dust. However, avoid doing this on especially windy or high-pollen days, as this can cause more dust particles to blow into your house. 

Be mindful of humid areas, too. Dust particles will cling more in humid rooms, so try to ventilate them often and invest in a dehumidifier for extra freshness.  

Cleaning methods 

You’ve followed the steps above to minimise the dust gathering around your house. Now, you need to know how to get rid of dust efficiently.  

Try these cleaning tips to improve your chances: 

Wash bedding and curtains 

Our bedding and curtains collect lots of dust. Their soft materials attract everything from pet hair to airborne skin particles, and they often catch pollen and dirt that comes in through your windows.  

So, it’s crucial to wash these items regularly. Choose a hot cycle to ensure you kill dust mites whilst you’re at it, especially when cleaning your bedding.  

Choose the right cloth 

Do you ever feel like you’re just moving dust around when you clean? Using a microfibre cloth will ensure you trap dirt more efficiently, helping you get the job done quicker. 

Vacuum regularly 

After you’ve wiped down all your surfaces from top to bottom, make sure you vacuum your floors. Tackle carpets, rugs, and any soft furnishings that could collect dust particles. Ideally, find a vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter to ensure you pull up as many allergens as possible.
