It is difficult to say where dust comes from in an apartment. In fact, there are many sources of its appearance - it is the person himself, and an open window, pets, and so on.
There is simply no universal means of protection against dust. The only chance to deal with it is wet cleaning.
We'll tell you about the dustiest places in your apartment and where all this dirt comes from.
Where does dust come from?
It enters apartments through windows during ventilation, with outerwear, shoes, skin and hair. It partially includes dead skin particles, as well as upholstery materials of upholstered furniture and other interior items.
In general, house dust consists of everything that has penetrated from the street, bio- and synthetic materials.
The dustiest places
The undisputed leaders are carpets, soft toys, pillows, books and faux fur products.
To reduce dust, wet cleaning of the premises should be carried out at least twice a week, and at the same time it is necessary to clean hard-to-reach places, otherwise the result will be zero.
Errors
1. Household appliances help out, but vacuum cleaners should have water or HEPA filters.
2. It is necessary to vacuum not only carpets, but also upholstered furniture, and curtains and bedspreads should be washed at intervals of once every 2-3 months.
3. Dust should be wiped off hard surfaces with a cotton or microfiber cloth, but fluffy brooms should be thrown away immediately – they only scatter dust.
4. Pets will have to be, if not washed, then brushed more often; dog owners should pay special attention to this issue – after a walk, the pet brings a lot of dirt into the house.
5. If the exhaust hood in the house does not work, then due to ventilation problems, more dust may accumulate. In a normal situation, dust leaves the room along with air flows.
