Accordingly - the money from the family budget literally flowing away fast river, because you need to regularly update the stock of funds for cleaning plates, plumbing, windows, etc. And by and large, the use of all these funds does not bring anything good for health.
The situation is similar with respect to the constant dust exposure. Therefore, there are questions about how to get rid of dust at home by folk remedies, and whether there are any such options.
Tools - there are, and there are many of them! Therefore, choosing a more convenient for yourself does not seem complicated. Consider in more detail how to get rid of the dust in the room:
- Napkins and rags. It is best if they are cotton, since this fabric absorbs water better than other materials. In addition, after use on surfaces there are no stains and scratches.
- The mop is excellent for removing contaminants in hard-to-reach areas. For more convenience, you can purchase a special mop with replaceable nozzles for different surfaces.
- Broom is a necessary device when working with raised surfaces. But to maintain the effectiveness of cleaning it should be periodically cleaned.
- Vacuum cleaner - an indispensable assistant in the fight against dust. The optimum option is a washing vacuum cleaner with replaceable nozzles:
- in the first place - it is suitable for various surfaces and materials;
- secondly - passing through the filter, dust particles do not fall back into the air.
- Air purifiers detain dust and destroy the bacteria contained in it. Some models, in addition to the purifying function, also ionize and aromatize the air.
- Humidifiers increase humidity in the room. Particles of dust, after being wet, stick together and fall on horizontal surfaces. It remains only to periodically wipe the last with damp cloths.
- Washing soft toys and curtains will clear them from dust and destroy dust mites. It is necessary to erase things at least once a month, since the bulk of dust settles on soft objects, and when air moves, the dust particles fly up.
- Ventilation also eliminates dust in the rooms. At this time, it is best to do a wet cleaning:
- In the summer it is necessary to ventilate for more than half an hour.
- In winter, so much time is not needed - just a few minutes.
- Drying bedspreads, carpets and curtains in the sun helps to get rid of unwanted "neighbors" who die in ultraviolet rays.

You can also make a dust remedy yourself at home:
- Add a quarter of a tablespoon of vinegar, 2 teaspoons of olive oil and a few drops of any essential oil you like to the glass of water.
- The solution is poured into a spray gun and used to cleanse dust and disinfect hard horizontal surfaces.
Important! The best means of dust is high-quality general cleaning. It should be held once every two weeks. But since few people can afford such a laborious process so often, a delay of up to 2 months is permissible. More is undesirable.
to the contents ↑Recommendations for reducing dust
Now that it is clear how to get rid of the dust at home, I would like to give some additional tips. They will help reduce the total amount of dust that flies in the air and settles on the furniture:
- Ventilate best after the rain, when all the dust on the street is wet and settled on the ground, then - can not get into the room.
- Books, figurines and other rarely used items should be stored on glass shelves - so dust can not get on them.
- All rooms are to be vacuumed several times a day, even if it seems that everything is clean.
- If it is not possible to often wash the curtains, then it is better to replace them completely with blinds, since the last dust settles less.
- Watch for soft toys, bedspreads and linens. The latter should be changed every week, since it also accumulates a huge amount of dust.
- Comb your hair better in the bathroom, so you can quickly collect hair from the tile. Otherwise, they will have to be collected throughout the apartment. For animals, too, you need to watch - comb out them and throw out the fallen hair.
- Keep an eye on the humidity level and the temperature in the apartment. The normal humidity is 40-60%, and the temperature is 18-20 ° C.In most houses, the air temperature is higher and the humidity is lower.
- Try not to use a broom for cleaning - it does not eliminate dust, but only raises it in the air. For cleaning the floors it is better to use vacuum cleaners that filter the air and detain dust particles.
With these simple rules, you do not have to constantly think about the fight against dust and spend a lot of money on expensive cleaning products.
