How to choose the right dust remover for regular cleaning? What is the best way to remove house dust?

One of the common problems of housewives is dealing with dust. It can appear again even 1-2 days after cleaning, and this is upsetting and even interferes with life. How to properly wipe off dust so that it does not appear for as long as possible?

Perhaps we should start the conversation with what type of cleaning to choose. So, we have 2 options: dry and wet. The first one is faster, easier, but is it effective?

Dry cleaning is carried out with a rag (naturally dry) or a brush/broom. This has little effect. At first it seems that there is no dust, but in fact it just rose and dispersed in the air. After some time, it will settle back to the surface in the same volume. The work has been done, but to no avail.

Dry cleaning can only be done with a woolen rag or an electrified broom. Wool perfectly collects dust particles due to the fact that it is electrified. Actually, electrified panicles are also suitable for this reason. After each cleaning, both should be washed thoroughly.

Wet cleaning will be more effective. True, you need to remember that it is damp, not wet. A microfiber cloth is used for this, which is first washed and thoroughly wrung out. Additionally, you can purchase special products for wiping off dust, for example, Pronto “Anti-Dust”. They improve the quality of cleaning and create protective layer, on which dust does not “sit” longer.

A microfiber cloth and some cleaning agent are suitable as a working tool for wet cleaning. Pronto “Anti-Dust” has proven itself to be excellent, but many people don’t like its smell, so ventilation may be necessary. A good remedy is also Mr. Muscle, but you can choose any one you like. However, if there are small children, asthma or allergy sufferers in the house, it is better to refrain from using cleaning substances.

Main stages of dusting:

Wet a microfiber cloth and wring it well until it is slightly damp.

Thoroughly wipe down all surfaces, including the inside shelves of cabinets and other furniture.

For a better effect, you need to wipe everything again, but with a dry cloth/napkin made from natural fabrics.

Wipe off dust in the most accessible and visible places once every 3 days, and in more secluded corners (the so-called spring-cleaning) once a week.

If polishes are used, it is better to apply them not to the furniture itself, but directly to the rag. This move will allow you to more accurately and evenly distribute the liquid over the surface. But polish applied directly to furniture forms a film that, instead of repelling, will attract dust.

When exactly to remove dust: before or after using a vacuum cleaner? IN modern devices There is a good filter that does not let dust particles back into the room. If you clean this filter regularly, there should be no problems. Therefore, you can safely wipe the dust first and then vacuum it. You can do this at the beginning. But then, when cleaning surfaces, you may encounter a problem when debris from shelves and cabinets falls onto the floor and it becomes necessary to vacuum again.

Cleaning sequence

You need to start cleaning from the bottom up. Remove the highest places first. The very last to be wiped is what is below: usually this bedside tables, system unit computer, and, of course, baseboards and flooring.

Why is this sequence important? Despite the fact that you clean with a damp cloth, some dust particles still “rise” into the air. After some time, it settles again, but on the surface below those that you wiped. It turns out that if you first remove the table and bedside tables, and then climb onto the closet and wipe it there, some of the garbage will again settle on the table and bedside tables. And they will need to be wiped again.

Places not to be forgotten

In order for there to be an order of magnitude less dust in the house, you need to take care to remove it from the most inaccessible places, as well as from those places where it can arise. What we mean here: Usually cleaning furniture is only a small part where dust accumulates. Ventilation openings, as well as filters of air conditioners and vacuum cleaners, often become such “trash bins”.

After wet cleaning, you observe cleanliness, but if the listed places are left dirty, then during air ventilation, dust particles will spread throughout the rooms again. If you wipe them carefully and regularly, you will be able to reduce the rate of formation of layers... yes, that same one.

Vents and filters are not all the places that “assemblers” forget about. The cooler in the system unit or laptop also spreads dust. Regular cleaning of this equipment will also help you maintain cleanliness.

A large number of dust particles accumulate on chandeliers, cornices, on top of doors, on laptop monitors, computers and TV screens. All this needs to be wiped regularly.

You can clean it every day, but such a system unit will not make the air cleaner

Listed below are some tips and tricks. Their use will help reduce the layer of dust on your shelves:

Most of the garbage and dust particles enter the apartment/house from the street. Do wet cleaning in the hallway once every 2 days, and the result will immediately become noticeable. Garbage simply will not have time to spread throughout the entire home, and it will become easier to maintain cleanliness.

Buy indoor plants. Of course, you will also have to wipe their leaves, but, for example, chlorophytum perfectly cleans the air, and not only from dust particles. It can also be placed in a smoking area, and then the smell will evaporate much faster.

If you have pets, brush their hair regularly. Moreover, this applies not only to dogs and cats, but also to rabbits.

You can wipe off dust not only with microfiber. For example, it is best to wipe a laptop/computer monitor, keyboard and TV screen with regular damp wipes. Many housewives may dispute this, but it is still an excellent and convenient tool. And the whole process takes just a few minutes.

Air purifiers and ionizers can be used as aids. The latter affects the charge of the particles and promotes their sedimentation. The surfaces, of course, need to be wiped, but the air will become clean and free of dust particles.

Dust spoils the attractiveness of an apartment, polluting it, but also negatively affects the health of homeowners. In addition, dust particles are a favorable habitat for ticks and cause allergies in many. Despite regular cleaning, small dust particles still remain in hard-to-reach places. This is the result of improper cleaning. Dust settles on everyone flat surfaces, and also accumulates in bedding. Wet cleaning is more effective because in this case use certain detergents.

Methods for reducing dust on surfaces

You can reduce the amount of accumulated dust by getting rid of things that can attract small particles. To permanently remove dust, you first need to get rid of the things that attract it. Instead of curtains, you can install blinds, and instead of carpet, install parquet. It will not spoil the aesthetics of the room, but rather will make the room more attractive. The chandelier should be ordinary, without pendants, and books should be kept behind glass.

In addition, woolen items and soft toys also accumulate dust in large quantities. All this can be simply vacuumed; the equipment quickly and completely removes dust from things. The knocking out method will not give such a result. You can hit the carpet with a beater all day, but there will still be dust in it.

Blankets, mattresses and pillows need to be ventilated and preferably kept under direct sun rays. Some microorganisms die from ultraviolet radiation. Synthetic pillows are washed, and down pillows are sent for cleaning. It is better to use the mattress together with a cover, like a pillow with a pillowcase. In this case, only the cover needs to be washed.

All sorts of unwanted elements accumulate in sheets and duvet covers:

• dust;
• dead skin particles;
• various fabric fibers;
• sand;
• microbes

Attention! For safety and hygiene reasons, bed sheets should be washed and boiled at least once every five days. It is recommended to wash children's bedding every three days. Pillows and blankets filled with natural down are cleaned every 3 months.

Regardless of the circumstances and negative emotions accumulated during the day, it is necessary to maintain a comfortable microclimate in every living room. This can be done by ventilating the premises, as well as using a humidifier. The main thing to know is that the rooms should not be too hot, since heat provokes the appearance of harmful microorganisms, creating favorable living conditions for them.

Places where dirt accumulates the most

Despite regular wet cleaning, some rooms have significantly more dust than other rooms. This is due to the fact that the smallest particles, invisible to the eye, remain in the air for quite a long time and do not settle on the surface of things immediately. These particles include small fabric fibers, fragments of ceiling and wall trim, as well as pet hair and microorganisms.

There are many hard-to-reach places in rooms where dirt accumulates - a kitchen hood, TV, refrigerator and other household appliances. Much of the dust can be found among scattered things.

Attention! Small particles of dust are long time in the air, attract harmful substances that can be hazardous to health. They cause the greatest harm to people susceptible to allergies.

Dust also accumulates on the sides of paintings, lamps, clocks and in various small objects that are not even paid attention to during cleaning. This is due to some difficulties in cleaning them. By the way, to make work easier, small items can be treated with a spray.

Microscopic particles settle in large quantities on interior items made from textiles. The electrified material has the properties of attracting small dust particles. No less dust accumulates under the ceiling, which is often forgotten.

Correct dust removal

For complete dust removal would be better suited wet woolen fabric, and dry electrified wool, ideally attracts the smallest dust particles. Many people use special store-bought napkins. It is not recommended to clean with a broom, as it raises some of the dust into the air. The most effective means for removing small dry particles is a vacuum cleaner. It reliably removes dust from hard and soft surfaces of furniture, walls, floors, curtains, carpets and more.

Ideal household device For cleaning the rooms there is a washing vacuum cleaner. After treatment with this device, hard surfaces are wiped with a damp cloth. Dry wipes are not recommended. They lift up small particles, which settle over time, forming a coating of dust.

General cleaning should start from the ceiling. You can use a mop wrapped in a damp woolen cloth. Collects the least amount of dust suspended ceiling, which means it is easier to wash.

After using a vacuum cleaner, you must carefully sweep all corners of the floor and wipe with a damp cloth. Then they wipe down doors, window sills, paintings, furniture, internal shelves, souvenirs, figurines and other small items. Furniture is first vacuumed and then wiped. We should not forget about chandeliers, cornices, blinds, and armrests. In the final part of the cleaning, they remove dirt from low surfaces - chairs, stools, bedside tables.

Attention! The process of formation of dust of all types occurs continuously. It is impossible to stop him. This is the reason for the appearance of a barely noticeable layer of dust on any surface during the day.

Ways to combat the rapid appearance of dust

Methods to combat the rapid formation of dust are as follows:

1. Daily wet cleaning of the entire apartment. Special attention allocated to the corridor and hallway. This will prevent dirt from moving to other rooms.
2. Step-by-step work with cleaning furniture. First, it is vacuumed and then wiped with a damp cloth.
3. Use wet wool fabric or lint napkins. It is not recommended to use brooms for sweeping the floor. The ideal option is a washing vacuum cleaner.
4. Use of special filters in vacuum cleaners.
5. Mandatory removal of dirt from hard-to-reach places.
6. Regular cleaning duvets and pillows in companies that use special equipment.
7. Periodically knocking dust out of clothes, as well as soft toys and regular washing of bed linen.
8. Perform cosmetic procedures and comb your hair in the bathroom. To remove hair, use sticky tools.
9. Regular brushing of pets outdoors.
10. Use of special detergents in cleaning.

Methods for removing dust

Small particles will not cover the surfaces of solid objects longer if they are treated with factory detergents. They remove static electricity, which prevents dust from being attracted. You can use your own preparations.

Lemon solution works well. It reliably removes minor dirt, after which no streaks or drips remain. To prepare this composition, pour small lemon slices with vegetable oil and wait 5 days. Boiling water is added to the resulting preparation, filtered and the fabric is soaked in it. Then it is dried and all surfaces are wiped with it.

Lavender oil is an excellent antistatic agent. It is stirred in water, and then using a cloth soaked in the solution, the furniture is wiped. Good solution considered a mixture of bleach dissolved in water. Another option for a natural antistatic agent is a composition made from water and regular salt. Polished surfaces can be wiped with glycerin diluted with water.

Important! You can add water and shampoo to any antistatic agent, mix thoroughly and treat any surface. This will protect the products from dust accumulation for a long time.

The main thing is not to forget about special soft napkins and fleecy or woolen fabric. The use of other auxiliary means is not recommended. Dust accumulates in the pile, which prevents even microparticles from rising up, and the wool becomes electrified, so it attracts not only small dust particles, but also large ones.

Houseplants against dust

There are certain types of indoor plants that can attract dust, and the housewife can only wipe the leaves with a damp cloth.

Helps remove dust:

1. Ficus benjamina. Absorbs toxic compounds released by some plastic and other products.
2. Chlorophytum. Absorbs any toxic substances in the room.
3. Geranium. Destroys germs and bacteria.
4. Spathiphyllum. Suppresses the development of mold.
5. "Mother-in-law's tongue." Successfully resists nitrogen oxides.
6. Cypress. Effectively attracts negative ions coming from electrical appliances.
7. Gerbera. Actively absorb carbon dioxide, and releases oxygen.
8. Begonia. Destroys microorganisms and humidifies the air.
9. Dieffenbachia. Destroys staphylococcus and toxic compounds.
10. Scheffler. Absorbs nicotine. This plant is useful in an apartment whose owner prefers to smoke while sitting in a chair instead of going out onto the balcony.

Removing dust from any hard-to-reach places

Oddly enough, one of the hard-to-reach places is upholstered furniture. Despite this, there are several ways to remove dust from them. The most effective is a powerful vacuum cleaner. It quickly and completely removes dust from chairs and sofas upholstered in regular fabric.

Another method is as follows: place a wet but thoroughly wrung out sheet on the upholstered furniture. Then knock on upholstered furniture, and the dust that comes out settles on the sheet. To destroy microorganisms, the surfaces of sofas and armchairs are steamed with an iron. This procedure is done once every few months.

Books are treated with a vacuum cleaner, the hose of which is fitted with a special nozzle with long pile. The shelves are wiped with a damp cloth. It is recommended to wipe the leaves of indoor plants with a damp sponge. Some small plants can be rinsed directly in the bath at room temperature. This procedure removes all dirt and has a beneficial effect on the general condition of the plants. Since dust collects in small quantities on the walls, they are also vacuumed and then wiped with a cloth.

Blinds are washed in closed. Suitable for processing them soap solution. If they do not look dirty with an old coating, but are simply covered with dust, then wipe them with a damp cloth. For more thorough cleaning, use a special soft brush. If you have time, the blinds can be removed and washed thoroughly in water using detergents or regular soap.

How to train yourself to clean your apartment regularly

Constant light or periodic general cleaning of the apartment will rid the home of dust and harmful substances, so it will be easy to breathe. True, there is not always time and desire for this. Inviting guests can be an ideal motivation. It is unlikely that the hostess will want her guests to witness chaos and disorder.

Clean in the morning when you are full of strength and energy. In the evening after work, you don’t want to do the cleaning, because at this time there is a certain loss of energy, and even the energy accumulated during the day negative emotions do not allow you to do anything useful.

You can choose a specific day a week and clean regularly. Even if there is no desire, you still don’t need to relax. After a few months, you will become so involved in this process that you simply cannot live without cleaning. You will be missing something on this day.

While cleaning, do not be distracted by other things, since the intended work must be completed. All this will become a habit over time. If you always want to return home in high spirits, periodically change the atmosphere in your home: redecorating, change the wallpaper, rearrange the furniture.

Where to start cleaning

First of all, cleaning the premises begins with the removal of objects and things that have the properties of attracting dust. Most of it is concentrated in the lower part of the room, so children suffer more from dust, although they do not notice it.

Children generally get more damage than adults, since quite a lot of dust accumulates in soft toys. Since you can’t throw them away, you need to store them in boxes. The same applies to books. While in open space, printed publications They also attract dust, so books should be kept behind glass.

Especially incredibly large amounts of dust accumulate in carpets that cover floors and wall hangings. They need to be vacuumed much more often than wiping furniture. Things that have not been used for years can be put in plastic bags and hidden in the pantry, or better yet, given to people in need.

For quick disposal from dust it is advisable to use washing vacuum cleaner. A household appliance with a fabric bag throws some of the dust back into the room. A vacuum cleaner with a water filter traps dust completely. After working with such a household appliance, the room becomes slightly humidified. All moisture immediately evaporates after airing the room.

Important! To prevent ticks from breeding in bedding, they should be washed more often using the boiling function.

If you don’t want to remove dust from the floor yourself, you can entrust this job to a robotic vacuum cleaner. To help with this household appliance, you can buy an air purifier. It removes dust from the air, so this solution is considered ideal. The inexpensive device does its job reliably.

To top it all off, you can get an ionizer and humidifier. The main thing to remember is that all this gives positive result when periodically engaged in manual cleaning of premises. If every home owner could see what microscopic mites look like, and even dust itself under a microscope, he would clean every day.

Do wet cleaning regularly

Good old-fashioned wet cleaning is a proven and effective way to combat dirt. By wiping the surface, we remove static electricity, and as a result, much less dust settles on the floor and shelves. Thanks to regular wet cleaning, the overall content of fine particles in the air is reduced, and dust mites and bacteria die. This is especially true during periods of exacerbation of respiratory diseases, when viruses literally fly in the air. Regular dust removal helps maintain immunity and significantly speeds up the healing process. Therefore, make it a rule to dust and wash the floor at least once a week. Soon this will become a simple and useful habit.

Use the right equipment

Before starting any fight, you need to properly arm yourself. Home service specialists use napkins and mops (mop attachments) made from special materials. So, to remove dust, it is best to use microfiber cloths; its fibers, like a brush, collect all the small particles from the surface. Rags made from other materials only remove part of the dirt, and the remaining dust and dirt are only spread over the surface. Professional cleaners also use a plume broom; it can significantly speed up the cleaning process because it instantly collects dust - its particles are attracted to the pile due to the resulting static electricity. In addition, this is an excellent tool for cleaning hard-to-reach places and decorative small items - he waved the plume - and all the figurines are clean, there is no need to remove and wipe each of them separately. We also recommend periodically treating facades and horizontal surfaces polish furniture with an antistatic effect, then much less dust will settle on them.

Act according to a well-thought-out plan

Professional cleaners remove dust every day from the most different apartments. They always operate according to certain regulations that save time. Specialists are able to clean a room of dirt very quickly and efficiently, because they always move according to the same pattern. The main rule is that you need to clean from top to bottom so that the dust that you shake off from the top shelves does not settle on already cleaned surfaces. To avoid missing anything, walk in a circle in each room - from door to door or from window to window. It is necessary to wipe window sills, shelves, furniture surfaces, appliances, paintings, sconces and various interior decorations - vases, desk lamp and figurines. It is better to place souvenirs that you cannot part with in cabinets and admire them through glass - small trinkets collect a lot of dust and complicate the cleaning process. This solution will save you a lot of time.

When all surfaces are dust-free, you need to vacuum the floor and then wash it. Try to move from remote corners of the apartment to the entrance to it - this way you will not bring dust and dirt into already cleaned rooms. Wet cleaning is completed in the hallway - this way the floors in other rooms will have time to dry before you return there.

Don't forget about hard-to-reach places

Cleaners pay special attention to the upper surfaces of cabinets, which are so inconvenient to wipe. Meanwhile, it is there that it accumulates great amount dust. To speed up the process, you can lay newspaper or large-format paper on them. During cleaning, the sheets are quickly removed from the cabinets along with all the accumulated dust. The main thing is to do it carefully. In the kitchen, instead of paper, you can use film; it will also protect the surface of the cabinet from the formation of plaque from a mixture of dust and grease. Don't forget about chandeliers - lamps literally attract dust. Moreover, the more complex their shape, the faster they become dirty. It is recommended to wipe them with a damp cloth once every two to three weeks. But it’s much faster to do this with a plume broom. When dry, it will quickly remove dust, and if you moisten the fibers and go over the chandelier again, you will get a complete wet cleaning.

Wash your home textiles more often

The amount of dust in the house, oddly enough, depends on how often the bed linen is changed. Home textiles are the main source of dust in every apartment, and they need to be cleaned regularly. If you don't take care of it for a long time, bedspreads, upholstered furniture, and bed linen harbor dust mites, which can cause allergies. Bed linen should be washed at least once a week.

Do not forget also about the permanent upholstery of upholstered furniture; it must be vacuumed regularly. You can also cover the sofa or chair with a damp sheet and beat it thoroughly - this way all the accumulated dust will settle on the fabric and will not get into the air.

A separate conversation about carpets. If you don’t want them to become a haven for dust mites and intestinal pathogens, you will have to thoroughly vacuum them once a week and treat them with a special disinfectant. For effective fight for the cleanliness of carpets and own health it is important to know clearly.

All other textiles - bedspreads, rugs, removable furniture covers - should be cleaned approximately once a month. At the same time, it is not necessary to take dirty clothes to the dry cleaner yourself; some home services, including Helpstar, offer delivery services. The courier will pick up everything you need and bring it back in perfectly clean condition.

Dust not only pollutes the apartment and spoils the appearance, it has a negative impact on the well-being and health of humans and pets. It lives in big number dust mites, which can cause severe allergic reaction, asthma and various respiratory diseases.

In addition, dust carries carcinogens, bacteria, fumes and particles household chemicals, cigarette smoke toxins and other harmful substances. But these elements enter the lungs together!

Even with regular cleaning, dust remains in many hard-to-reach places. It settles not only on smooth, hard surfaces, but also accumulates in pillows, blankets, and upholstered furniture. You can often notice that new dust quickly appears in noticeable areas, even though you have recently wiped the surface.

To ensure safety, it is important to carry out wet cleaning regularly. In this article we will look at how and what is the best way to wipe off dust so that it does not settle longer.

How to reduce dust

To get rid of dust for a long time, try to get rid of things and objects that attract it. So, leather furniture It will be better than with fabric upholstery. Instead of carpet, it is better to use linoleum or parquet, and instead of curtains, blinds. It is advisable to store books, souvenirs and small items behind glass, and choose a chandelier without pendants.

Don't forget that hair, soft toys and wool, and bedding attract and collect dust particles in large quantities. Therefore, regularly exhaust and wipe toys, comb cats and dogs. And comb your hair only in the bathroom.

To prevent mites from appearing in house dust, be sure to wash your bed linen every 7-10 days. Air out pillows, blankets and mattresses every six months. It is recommended to wash pillows once every two to three months, and blankets once every 6-12 months.

And for the mattress, use a special cover that can be easily machine washed every two months. More detailed information how to properly care for bed linen and accessories, see here.

How to get rid of dust without a vacuum cleaner and fancy rags?

As we wrote above, an ordinary rag from an old T-shirt or towel does not suit us. What to do?

The answer is simple - take an ordinary piece of woolen fabric, or from an old thing. It is believed that when a dry woolen cloth rubs against the surface, it becomes electrified and attracts dust particles. In addition, such a rag can be used many times - it can be washed.

To prevent dust from attracting our attention, we want to get rid of it for as long as possible. For this there are special anti-dust sprays. Modern production offers high-quality products that neutralize allergens, are harmless to children and animals, and have pleasant aroma. This spray creates an antistatic property on the surface of the furniture that repels dust. The only negative is that the spray can create streaks on lacquered furniture. Therefore, you have to polish with a clean cloth. But, it is better to polish once every 2 weeks than to wash off the dust every other day.

"Old-fashioned" way of dealing with dust

Once upon a time, there were no vacuum cleaners at all, or they were in short supply, and not very cheap for many. In such cases, how did they remove dust from heavy mattresses or sofas, pillows and carpets?

A villager can take it all out into the yard and knock out all the dust special device. Carpets are hung on a turnstile or fence, and in winter they are beaten out directly in the snow. Using the same principle, you can knock dust out of sheepskin coats and fur coats.

In cases where it is not possible to take a thing outside to knock out dust, take a thick wet rag, put it on the sofa (for example), and put a thick dry rag on top of the wet rag. And so they hit this “sandwich” with a firecracker. Lower wet rag after such an execution it becomes gray or even black with dust.

Not everyone enjoys cleaning. Therefore, I want to make it as pleasant and effective as possible.
Most housewives clean their apartments on the weekend, in the morning. And they do the right thing.

IN evening time You can’t use a vacuum cleaner or even rags. A working vacuum cleaner disperses microorganisms that “live” in the dust into the air. They can cause not only allergies, but also infectious diseases. In addition, scientists have proven that the body's resistance during the day is much higher than in the evening.

Therefore, do any cleaning only in the first half of the day, and preferably with the windows open. Also, turn on the music, then fighting dust won’t seem so tedious and boring.
