How do you keep from dusting every couple of days?

Question

Dust keeps coming back every couple of days. What can make it so I don't have to dust so often.

Answer 1

there are certain ways you can dust better. like if you just wipe it all off with a towel and wush it around the dust settles right back down after you do it. but if you take like a cleaner and actually wipe it all off and see it come off it doesnt settle again for longer.

Answer 2

You can keep from dusting so often if you stop caring... :)

Answer 3

ventilate your house in the morning andclose windows and curtains for the day . ventilate again in the eveving , but still you need to dust once a day , you wont find dustfree atmosphere in the plains. you need to move to some place in the mountains for a relatively dust free house.

Answer 4

put plastic alls over stuffs =3

Answer 5

Good air filters from your air conditioning unit will help a little. But the dust just comes back. It is a real hassle.

Answer 6

I don't think there's anyway to keep it from coming back.  That's why it's called house work.  If you find out let me know.

Answer 7

Dust comes from many places - dust from outside can be cut down by not keeping windows and doors open - though, personally, I'd rather have the fresh air and deal with the dust as it comes.

Dust comes from pets and people - no way around that, I'm afraid.

Dust also comes from other sources, like wood-burning fireplaces.  If you have one, using it less often and removing the ashes often will cut down on dust.

One thing you can do is invest in an air filter - your heating system or air conditioner may have one already, but buying a good filter and cleaning it often can be a big help.  You can also get machines that help to filter your house's air.

Buying a good-quality vacuum with a high-quality air filter will make sure you remove the dust when you vacuum, not just blow it around.  A HEPA filter is the gold standard, but a good-quality regular filter will deal with most dust.

Answer 8

1.  Keep doors shut

2.  Bath vigorously with a hand towel  

3.  Keep your air filters changed

Remember most dust is generated from dead skin

My secret is apathy. And a Hepa filter that I run on low.

Answer 17

make sure everyone showers daily, 90% of dust is dead human skin.

Answer 18

You actually can't unless there is no dust in the air .... keeping the windows open so that wind helps to keep the dust in the air instead of settlng down, but the main issue is still the air

Consider having water-based air purifier in the home

Answer 19

i have this problem....and mostly on my TV, surround sound etc.

I have a microfiber dusting cloth and i spray static guard on the cloth and then wipe down my things. Never spray it directly on your things. This has cut down my dusting to only 1 time a week! good luck!

Answer 20

Get your ducts cleaned!

Answer 21

get an anti-static polish... works using the opposite principle to why dusts sticks to your tv... this just makes it land on your carpet instead! i think mr shine uses this...
