Know and Deal With The Sources of Dust

Ever wondered where all the dust in your home comes from? You spend hours cleaning the dust of your furniture and bed, yet it comes back again.

You keep cleaning and it keeps reappearing creating health issues like allergies, recurring cold and runny nose, itchy sensation and eye irritation. It is practically impossible to have a home that is absolutely dust free.

There are sources of dust that are impossible to avoid like clothing fibers and dead skin cells of people who are in the house and those who visit your house.  There are other sources of dust that are major contributors to the dust you find in your home.

Research says that one major reason of dust collecting in your home is your closet. The clothes shed fiber while in the closet and other storage items accumulate inside. Every time you open the closet the dust particles gathered inside come flying out in the air and into the rest of your home.

Then there are the electronic items like the TV, set top boxes that attract a lot of dust. These sources of dust not only attract dust but also trap it inside. With closed windows it becomes inevitable that the dust remains inside. No matter how often you clean, dust will keep coming back to keep you busy.

There are some areas that attract more dust in comparison to other arts of the home. Bedroom is one place that is more prone to dust in it because of the mattresses, curtain, blinds, carpets and pillows.

Another area that is prone to dust in the house is the living room. It attracts more dust because of all the electronic items and all the upholstery. And, then there is the kitchen with the refrigerator collecting and trapping the most amount of dust.

The major sources of dust that add to your misery are airborne as they come from roads, attics, basements, electronics, vents and ducts, carpets, insects and wind to name a few.

No matter where you live, you will have to deal with dust in your home. What best you can do is to keep cleaning your home more frequently. Make it a point to clean the top your door and windowpane, our fridge top and the back of the TV. Instead of using a vacuum cleaner, it is more effective to have a room humidifier and air purifier to get rid of the dust.
