Dirt accumulated in the house often contains a lot of fabric scraps, pet fur, mold and tiny dust mites. In a high temperature and humidity environment, these agents multiply very quickly, posing a potential risk of allergies, rhinitis and respiratory diseases for the whole family.
Proactively reducing unnecessary furniture combined with changing daily living habits will help control dust effectively, keeping the home always fresh and clean.
Cleaning and streamlining furniture in the room
The more items are displayed on the surface, the larger the area of dust. You should periodically review and clean up items that are no longer needed to make the room more airy. Reducing cumbersome decorative items also helps daily sweeping and cleaning of the floor take place quickly, minimizing dead corners accumulating fine dust.
Carefully clean carpets
With a thick fiber structure, carpets are the easiest place to store dirt, food debris and dust mites in the house. If the family has elderly people or young children who are allergic, priority should be given to using ceramic tile floors or natural wood floors instead of carpets. If you still want to use carpets to enhance aesthetics, you need to maintain the habit of vacuuming and drying periodically.
Store clothes in sealed bags
A closet that is open or open often easily gets dust from the air, and clothes fabrics themselves also spontaneously release fine dust. The optimal solution is to store out-of-season outfits or items that are rarely worn in specialized ziplock bags or sealed boxes, both keeping clothes always fragrant and limiting dust in the bedroom.
Arrange separate shoe shelves outside the door
Shoes coming from the street carry a large amount of dirt, fine dust and bacteria. Place a shoe rack with a door or shoe rack neatly next to the entrance or porch. The habit of changing shoes indoors right from the door will thoroughly prevent the source of dirt from spreading into the living room.
Periodically wash curtains and bed sheets
Curtains hanging in wind-receiving areas such as windows and balconies act as a natural dust filter, so they get dirty very quickly. It is necessary to maintain the habit of removing and washing curtains at least once every 2 months; for bed sheets, pillow covers and blankets, hot water should be used and sun-dried weekly to completely eliminate dust and mold.
Regularly clean stuffed animals
Cotton or wool toys are very easy to absorb fine dust and retain dust mites, easily irritating the airways when young children hug each other every day. Parents should limit displaying too many stuffed animals on their children's beds, and at the same time, wash and dry stuffed toys periodically to protect the baby's respiratory health.
