Easy Hacks to Keep Your Home Cleaner
Dusting is one of those never-ending chores that always seems to creep back faster than we’d like. But for allergy sufferers, keeping dust under control is a must. Fortunately, with the right habits and Quick Shine® Safer Choice Certified Cleaners and Polishes, you can reduce dust buildup and improve indoor air quality effortlessly.
1. Remove Your Shoes at the Door
One of the biggest culprits for bringing dust into your home? Your shoes! Dirt, pollen, and dust easily hitch a ride on your soles. To cut down on indoor dust:
- Make it a habit to remove shoes at the door.
- Keep a pair of slide-ons nearby for convenience when running in and out.
- Consider using a doormat or entryway rug to trap dust before it gets inside.
2. Change Air Filters Regularly
Airborne dust and allergens circulate through your home’s HVAC system, making clean air filters essential for better air quality. Set a reminder to replace your air filters at least every three months—or more often if you have pets or allergies.
3. Vacuum Carpets & Clean Hard Floors Often
Carpets trap dust, dirt, and allergens, making regular vacuuming essential. But have you ever noticed how much dust collects in the vacuum container? To keep dust under control:
- Vacuum high-traffic areas multiple times a week.
- Always empty the vacuum bin outdoors to prevent dust from re-entering the air.
- Deep clean carpets or soft fabrics with a steam cleaner to remove embedded dust and kill dust mites.
For hard surface floors, go beyond just sweeping—dust and mop with Quick Shine® Safer Choice Certified Cleaners to trap and remove dust while maintaining a streak-free shine. Our Sustainable Mop Kits make it easy to keep floors looking their best without harsh chemicals.
4. Polish & Protect Hard Floors to Reduce Dust
Dust clings to dry surfaces, making it easier to settle on floors. Applying Quick Shine® Safer Choice Certified Floor Polishes not only enhances the appearance of your floors but also adds a protective layer that helps repel dust and dirt. Less dust sticking to your floors means less dust in your home!
5. Wash Bedding Weekly
Your bedding is a major dust magnet, collecting dust mites, dead skin cells, and allergens. Washing your sheets, pillowcases, and blankets in hot water once a week helps eliminate these hidden irritants and keeps your sleeping space fresh.
Keep Dust Away for Good
By making small changes to your cleaning routine and using Quick Shine® Safer Choice Certified Cleaners and Polishes, you can drastically reduce dust buildup and breathe easier at home.
