April 12, 2025The Dust Stops Here: How to Keep Dust Buildup Under Control Between Cleanings
Dust: it’s everywhere, even when you can’t see it. From irritating allergies to making your home look less-than-fresh, dust is one of the most common (and most frustrating) cleaning challenges homeowners face. At Gulf Breeze Home Cleaning, we’re no strangers to dust. It's the number one culprit behind that dull look on your furniture or sneeze-fest in your living room. But don’t worry—you don’t have to wait for your next professional cleaning to keep it under control. Here are some of our favorite tips for managing dust between visits: How to Control Dust Buildup Between Cleanings:
- Use Microfiber Cloths: Forget feather dusters—those just spread it around. Microfiber cloths trap dust, making your surfaces cleaner with each swipe. Try a quick wipe-down every day or two for best results.
- Vacuum Regularly: Dust hides in rugs, carpets, and upholstery. Use a vacuum with a HEPA filter at least twice a week to keep dust levels down.
- Keep Air Moving: Open windows on nice days, run ceiling fans, and consider using an air purifier to reduce airborne particles.
- Declutter Surfaces: Fewer knickknacks mean fewer places for dust to settle. Simplify your surfaces for easier upkeep.
- Change HVAC Filters: Your air system can recirculate dust. Replace filters every 1–3 months to keep your air (and surfaces) cleaner.
- Damp Mop Floors: Dry sweeping often kicks up dust. A damp mop will trap and remove particles instead of stirring them up.
- Shoes Off at the Door: Place doormats at entrances and encourage a no-shoes policy indoors to cut down on tracked-in dirt and dust.
Regular visits from our Gulf Breeze Home Cleaning pros will give your home a fresh reset—but these simple habits will keep it looking great in between.
