Make your Home Dirt-Free with these Tips!
It sometimes feels like dusting your house isn’t enough, no matter how often you do it.
Getting rid of the teeny-tiny particles that find their way into every nook and cranny of your home may be frustrating, especially when it feels like you have to start all over again after you’re done! We’ve got you covered with a list of time-saving dusting tricks that will help you preserve your sanity while keeping your house pristine!
Cabins and Furniture
Furniture and cabinets with laminate or acrylic finishes can be scrubbed away with a microfiber sponge that has been gently dampened. Thoroughly clean the surface in a way that doesn’t leave an ugly streak. Use a clean and dry microfiber cloth to clean furniture that is constructed of wood or has a laminate finish. If you use too much water, the surface will get ruined and the polish will be gone. Wipe with a mixture of water and white vinegar for a thorough clean that eliminates dirt build-up from the cabinets, and follow immediately with a dry cloth to prevent moisture from settling onto the surface.
Ceiling Fans
Ceiling fans are notorious for attracting dust in any home. The laws of fluid dynamics and static electricity, as well as the fact that they are difficult to reach and generally hidden, all contribute to your ceiling fan blades becoming dusty. To clean your fan blades with the least amount of effort, use a flexible microfiber cloth. Another useful tip is to place an old pillowcase over the fan blade and wipe down both sides when you remove the cover. This keeps the dust within the cushion and out of your eyes, as well as off your floor! While you’re up on the ladder, use a long-handled duster to dust the ceiling corners and make sure they’re clean.
Windows and Curtains
Dirt on draperies and curtains is frequently difficult to notice, however, that doesn’t mean it isn’t there! The build-up will eventually convert white curtains into a drab, ugly dark. To keep the linen clean, dust both sides of your drapes and curtains once a week. You should pull down the draperies at least once a year and have them dry cleaned or put through the washing machine. Close synthetic blinds entirely and clean them off with a moist piece of cloth. Reverse the blinds and clean the other area when you’ve done one. Cloth blinds can only be cleaned; due to the rods woven into the fabric, they cannot be washed or laundered.
