Discover how you can fight off dust!
Dust is a fact of life; it’s something that anyone who owns a home will have to contend with to keep their belongings and home looking fresh and shiny. There are many techniques and tools you can use to keep the dust away and clear off your surfaces. Here’s a guide for keeping your home dust-free.
Walls and Baseboards
One of the most useful pieces of cleaning equipment for walls is your vacuum cleaner. They often come with many accessories that you can take off and use on your walls. Be careful not to use too many cleaning liquids that could damage your paint or cause moisture damage. Instead, use those vacuum attachments and work from the top down to remove dust and debris from the walls. On your baseboards, use a damp cloth with water or your favorite all-purpose cleaner to simply whisk the dust and built-up grime away.
Curio Cabinets
Curio cabinets are often characterized and recognized by their intricate details, carvings, and small crevices. A great way to remove the dust and grime from this type of furniture is with a small, clean natural-bristle paint brush. It allows you to get into those small spaces to remove the dust. Then, wipe the larger surfaces with a clean, microfiber cloth.
Electronics
Anyone who has ever owned a VCR, DVD player, printer or TV knows just how much dust electronic devices collect. It can be tricky to clean these items because you want to be careful about using liquid products that could cause damage or even break the electronic. Before cleaning, remember to unplug the device and use a microfiber cloth to gently wipe the dust off the surface of the device. This technique will also work for removing dust from the cords.
Fabric Toys
Kids love playing with soft, fabric toys and even some adults enjoy collecting these items. Beanbag toys that look like their favorite animals, teddy bears, and dolls with fabric dresses all attract dust when they spend some time left up on a shelf. The technique of placing the toy inside a large plastic bag with a cup of baking soda does wonders for removing the grime. Shake the items well inside the bag and shake off any remaining clumps when you take it out. Afterward, you can use your vacuum attachment to remove the rest.
