Dust (created or released by work processes or activities) is made up of particles that range in size from relatively large to very small. Large particles fall to the ground quickly and are generally too large to be breathed in. Everyone is exposed to dust in some form or other. The human body has various defence mechanisms to deal with the dust we breathe in, but in some cases it can become overwhelmed if dust particles are small enough or insufficient numbers. Do you want to know how to get rid and reduce dust in your bedroom? Here’s are some tips.
Change your bedding regularly.
Swap out your sheets for clean ones every one to two weeks and everything else (like your comforter, pillows, etc.) can be washed every six months or so. The idea is wash with hot water. When you wash your bedding, it’s best to use hot water, it kills off dust mites and helps get everything thoroughly clean. And if possible, try not to think about it as a chore, it always feels great to slide into clean sheets, and washing them has another substantial upside, too.
Vacuum the room regularly
Rooms you spend the most time in will obviously need to be vacuumed more often than rooms that are typically unoccupied. High traffic areas like hallways and kitchen should be vacuumed weekly. Consistent foot traffic and more people in and out, means more dirt and outside stuff tracked into the house. Bedrooms, especially those with carpet, should be vacuumed at least once a week and twice a week during allergy season.
Use the proper cleaning equipment
Microfiber cloths are able to attract and hold dust without releasing it back into the air, making them incredibly efficient for cleaning. At the same time, these can be used on a wide variety of surfaces from screens of electronic devices to wooden furniture without leaving behind any scratches, and do not need to be dampened or doused in cleaning solutions before usage. It is also very easy to clean a microfiber cloth, just soak it in warm water and agitate the dirt out of it using your hands, then let it air-dry.
Dust in your bedroom may be an accumulation of many different things, though they are likely biological specifically the dust in your space will likely be made up of dead skin cells, hair and other filthy stuff. The accumulation of too much dust can lead to significant health problems. But don’t fret! You can do many things to reduce the dust in your environment especially in your bedroom.
