Most people forget to dust their ceilings, but these surfaces accumulate a surprising amount of dust and cobwebs.
Beds are a haven for dust mites, which feed on dead skin cells. Vacuuming your mattress on both sides once a month and washing bedding.
Dust can accumulate in lampshades and light fixtures, potentially burning on hot bulbs or being distributed around the room.
Dust on walls can contribute to mold growth, particularly in humid areas like bathrooms. Use a soft brush attachment on your vacuum or wipe walls
Baseboards, being close to the floor, often collect dust unnoticed. To clean them without bending over, use the brush attachment on your vacuum.
Dusting shelves can be a daunting task due to the need to move books and knickknacks. Vacuum empty shelves with a brush attachment
Curtains and blinds can trap dust, pollen, and other airborne particles. Use a vacuum with a brush attachment or an old sock over your hand to dust blinds.
Pet beds can harbor dust mites and dander. Wash removable covers in hot water to eliminate mites and allergens.
The humid conditions in bathrooms can promote dust mite survival. Always use the ventilation fan while showering to reduce humidity.
Dust on houseplant leaves can impede photosynthesis. Wipe leaves gently with a damp cloth or use a soft-bristled brush to remove dust.
