7 – Declutter Surfaces
The more stuff you have out, the more places dust has to settle. Simplify shelves, countertops, and furniture tops by putting away or donating items you don’t need. Not only does it look cleaner—it stays cleaner.
8 – Keep Windows and Doors Closed on Windy Days
If you live in a dusty area, try to limit how often windows and doors are open—especially on dry or windy days. That breeze might feel nice, but it’s also blowing dust and pollen straight into your home.
9 – Use an Air Purifier
A good HEPA air purifier helps trap airborne particles like dust, pollen, and pet dander. Place one in high-use rooms like the bedroom or living room for the best effect. Just remember to clean or replace the filter regularly.
10 – Groom Pets Often
Pet hair and dander are major dust contributors. Regular brushing (preferably outdoors) helps cut down on shedding and keeps both your pets and your home cleaner. Also, consider wiping your pet’s paws after walks to avoid tracking in dust and dirt.
Final Tip:
While you may never completely eliminate dust, these simple habits can drastically reduce how much builds up—and how often you need to deep clean. As Taryn Maria proves, a few easy tweaks go a long way in creating a healthier, fresher-feeling home.
