Don’t let the dust bunny be an issue during the holidays.<\/h3>\n

With the\u00a0holiday season\u00a0in full swing, it’s time to start preparing the house for guests. Finding\u00a0dust\u00a0in your home is no fun, and no matter how much you clean it always seems to come back.<\/p>\n

Dust is made up of all kinds of\u00a0particles\u00a0including plant pollen, dead skin cells, pet dander, insulation and fibers from clothing and paper. When it accumulates, it’s annoying and can\u00a0wreak havoc\u00a0on\u00a0asthma\u00a0and\u00a0allergy sufferers. To make matters worse, with dust come\u00a0dust mites. Grossed out yet?<\/p>\n

While it’s impossible to completely rid your home of dust, here are some easy\u00a0tips\u00a0for keeping it at bay.<\/p>\n

Clean Smart.<\/h3>\n

Using feather dusters will push the dust around and cause it to settle somewhere else. Use a\u00a0damp cloth\u00a0or\u00a0microfiber or electrostatic cloth\u00a0to capture dust. Always start cleaning a room from the top and work your way down. Change your\u00a0bedding\u00a0once a week and\u00a0de-clutter. Don’t forget to shake out dirt and dust from your\u00a0area rugs\u00a0and\u00a0pillows.\u00a0Sweep\u00a0and\u00a0vacuum\u00a0a few times a week to keep dust build up minimal.<\/p>\n

Use Doormats.<\/h3>\n

Dirt and dust can be carried through the front, back or garage doors on the soles of your\u00a0shoes or feet. Using heavy duty doormats will help cut down on the dirt and dust tracked into your home.<\/p>\n

Change Your Filter.<\/h3>\n

A dirty filter will not only\u00a0reduce the quality\u00a0of the\u00a0air\u00a0in your home, they also lose their ability to to\u00a0trap dust. Clean them regularly to maintain a healthy airflow.\u00a0We recommend\u00a0changing your filter once a month.<\/p>\n

Set an Appointment with Your HVAC Contractor.<\/h3>\n

It’s important to have\u00a0humidity levels\u00a0between 40% – 50% to reduce static.\u00a0Static\u00a0attracts dust and makes in harder to remove. A\u00a0Comfort\u00a0Adviser\u00a0will check the humidity levels in your home to ensure a\u00a0healthy, comfortable and static free environment. It’s also\u00a0very important\u00a0to have your\u00a0ducts tested and inspected for leaks.\u00a0A Comfort\u00a0Adviser\u00a0will be able to\u00a0identify sources\u00a0like\u00a0duct leaks\u00a0which allows dirt, insulation particles and dust to circulate in your duct system and make way into your home. The decision to have your ducts sealed or cleaned may be the\u00a0solution\u00a0to minimizing dust in your home.<\/p>\n
