Dust seems inevitable, no matter how often or how thoroughly you clean it. While you can’t reduce the amount of dust that comes from the outside, there are some tricks you can use to make dusting easier.  

Since this chore takes a lot of time and energy, an increasing number of people turn to experts in house cleaning in Sunnyside, NY, for assistance. This article provides advice on how to make dusting more efficient. Let’s find out how you can do this!

How can I make dusting easier? 

Breaking the vicious circle of perpetual dusting isn’t as hard as it seems. Here is what you need to do to make the most of the time that you have invested in this formidable task:

1. Make a dusting schedule

Since you should dust at least once a week, devising a plan will help you dust your home properly and efficiently. You can either opt for dusting the whole house on the same day, for example, on weekends, or divide the workload into smaller chunks and dust one room every day. If you take the latter approach, you can write down the chore on a Post-it and stick it on the room door. Remove it after dusting to keep track of the housework that you have completed.

2. Declutter

In order to achieve the best possible results and use your time and energy rationally, you need to free all the surfaces from clutter. This also goes for knick-knacks, books, and lamps. First, store the items in a box to provide free access to shelves, bookcases, coffee tables, and nightstands. Then, wipe the surfaces with a microfiber cloth, clean the knick knacks with a brush and put them back in their designated place.

3. Use the right tools

Vacuum cleaners and microfiber cloths are universal dusters. You can use a vacuum cleaner to remove the dust from walls, furniture, floor, and any place with heavy dust buildup. If you use a vacuum for upholstery, you should obtain a special brush attachment to avoid damaging the fabric and to make sure that you have removed the dust completely. 

Microfiber cloth is great for removing fine dust and for cleaning the areas that are hard to reach. Attach a damp cloth to a duster with a bendable and extendable handle and wipe the ceiling fans and light fixtures. Microfiber cloth is also perfect for cleaning windows and other reflective surfaces. If you want to make the glass cleaning agent more effective, spray it directly on the fabric.     

4. Protect the surfaces from dust buildup

It’s true that you can’t prevent dust from getting into your home. However, there are ways to protect your furniture and appliances from its buildup. Put waxed paper on your cabinets and the top of your fridge to ward off the sticky dust. This is also a handy way to deal with dirt on reflective surfaces. All you need to do is change the paper and wipe the surface with a microfiber cloth and you will save yourself from scrubbing.
