EASY WAYS TO ELIMINATE DUST

Dust doesn't stand a chance against these tricks in your home! We know life can get hectic, and dusting might not be at the top of your to-do list. But fear not, we've got some delightful tricks up our sleeves to help you keep the dust bunnies at bay!

Here's a fun tip: jazz up the tops of your cupboards by placing paper towel sheets on them. After your regular cleaning routine, just pitch the old paper towel sheet and pop a fresh one in its place. These sheets not only catch dust and debris but also soak up any cooking residue like grease. For those tough grease spots, we recommend using a stove cleaning kit blade – it cuts through the grime without harming the surface. Let's make your cleaning routine a breeze, especially when tackling the kitchen! Don't forget about the little things like giving the underside of the hood or microwave a good scrub.This not only helps with steam control but also gives you a chance to freshen the filters.

Remember, it's not just the kitchen filter that matters. Your furnace also plays a part in keeping your home cozy and fresh. Woods Heating & Cooling recommends changing this filter a couple times a year. Depending on your situation – whether you have pets, allergies, or an older heating system – you might need to replace it more often. And let's not forget about your HVAC filter. While it does a great job, completing regular duct system cleanings can be essential. Ducts can harbor dust, mites, mold, and pet dander. Keeping them clean not only boosts your home's cleanliness but also helps those with allergies.

While completing our research, getting your ducts cleaned can cost between $450-$1000 and would benefit your home if done every 3-5 years. To further improve air quality, consider using an air purifier to eliminate unseen pollutants and dust, ensuring clean air circulates throughout your home.

Ceiling fans are notorious for collecting dust too. Make sure to clean them regularly with a Swiffer duster – like the one we use during our residential cleanings. This duster can easily bend to reach all angles of your fan. After cleaning, simply toss the Swiffer pad or find a duster that can be washed and reused. Dust can accumulate in many hidden spots, so using a dry rag might not cut it. For electronics like TVs, a spritz of glass cleaner on a microfiber rag works wonders at picking up dust efficiently. By keeping your fans clean, you'll prevent spreading more dust and maintain a fresher environment.
