Easy ways to maintain a dust free environment
Live Dust Free With These Tips
Dust is part of life. However, excessive dust floating in the breathing air and accumulating on surfaces can become a source of health concerns. Fine particles can infiltrate the HVAC system, electronics, and household appliances and hinder performance. Plus, dust negatively impacts aesthetics and creates work. If you’re interested in easy ways to maintain a dust-free environment, J&D Heating and Air Conditioning, Inc. is here to help.
Here are a few simple steps to make a big improvement:
- Use a microfiber cloth – The positively and negatively charged fibers on the surface of microfiber cloths attract dust as you swipe and avoid particles falling out.
- Invest in a whole-home air purifier – Specializing in the latest in IAQ accessories, J&D Heating and Air Conditioning, Inc. offers options that effectively trap 95% of particles too small to see and kill 99% of airborne pathogens.
- Vacuum the right way – Vacuum wall-to-wall in overlapping motions at least once per week and choose a vacuum with a HEPA filter. Don’t ignore drapes, blinds, and furniture.
- Launder bedding – As a popular home for dust mites, pillowcases and bed sheets should be washed at least once per week. Launder comforters, blankets, and mattress pads once every month.
- Get rid of clutter – Those collectibles are dust catchers. Organize bookshelves, desks, countertops, and anywhere clutter gathers and attracts dust.
- Add a doormat – Dust gets brought in from outside on the bottom of your shoes. A doormat with bristles can help. Make sure to vacuum it every couple of days. Also ask people to take their shoes off before entering.
- HVAC maintenance – J&D Heating and Air Conditioning, Inc. provides comprehensive upkeep of heating and cooling systems, cleaning all components and minimizing the chance of contaminants getting introduced into the breathing air.
