As every homeowner knows, your battle with household dust is a never-ending one. Unless you have an air-conditioned home, where you don’t open the windows at all, these fine particles are bound to enter your home and collect on furniture and floors. Not only does dust make your home look unclean, but it’s also bad for your health. Dust mites are allergens that can cause respiratory infections like asthma. If neglected, these particles clump up into dust bunnies that lurk in forgotten corners; below the bed and under the sofa.
So how do you prevent dust from taking over your home this period? Here are some tips to help you breathe easy:

Get a coarse doormat
Here’s a new rule: anyone entering your house must wipe their feet on the doormat, and take off their footwear before coming in. Shoes bring all kinds of dirt, germs and dust into the home. If you do not like to walk barefoot, keep a separate pair of rubber slippers for use only inside

•Declutter your home
The more cluttered your home is, the more surfaces there will be for the dust to collect. the more furniture you have, the harder it will be for you to keep dusting around and under each piece. Pare down your belongings regularly and make sure that clutter does not accumulate anywhere. Rather than keeping things out in the open, put them away inside cabinets or wardrobe

•Avoid carpets and rugs
Carpets and rugs trap dust and release it every time someone walks over them. Avoid carpets, or if you must have them do make sure that you vacuum them regularly.

•Use blind instead of drapes
Curtains also gather dust in copious amounts, and if you use two layers of day and night curtains, the problem is compounded. A better alternative for your windows is metal or wooden blinds, which can be wiped clean or vacuumed regularly.

•Keep windows closed
Most dust enters through the windows, so if you are on the lower floors of an apartment building or in an area with heavy traffic outdoors, you should keep your windows closed as much as possible during peak traffic hours.

One call cleans it all.

I have the same problem, namely dust all over the flat and especially in the corners. I am a shoe restorer myself and the dust often flies all over the flat. The usual wet cleaning and other things do not help and I started looking for an answer to the question of how to clean dust from corners? To be honest, there is not as much information on the internet as it may seem. After reading this article, I did everything from A to Z as it says. I have done it several times and there is much less dust and in some places, there is not even any dust left.
