Regular dusting is essential for every house, especially if you're prone to allergy.

But it's even better to follow some tips, so your house will collect less dust in general.

Here are some of them.

Using doormats

Place doormats both outside and inside your home's entry points to trap dirt and dust particles from shoes before they enter your living spaces. 

Encourage family members and guests to wipe their feet thoroughly upon entering.

Changing air filters

Regularly change or clean the air filters in your HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) system. 

Clean filters allow for better air circulation and filtration, reducing the amount of dust that settles in your home.

Controlling humidity

Use a humidifier to maintain optimal humidity levels, typically between 30% and 50%, to minimize airborne dust. 

Sealing gaps and cracks

Seal gaps and cracks around windows, doors, baseboards, and other openings to prevent dust from entering your home. 

Use weatherstripping, caulk, or other appropriate sealing materials to create a barrier against dust infiltration.

Regularly cleaning ventilation systems

Clean the vents and ducts in your home periodically to remove accumulated dust. 

Consider hiring professionals to conduct a thorough duct cleaning to improve indoor air quality and minimize dust distribution.

Using air purifiers

Consider using an air purifier with a HEPA filter to remove airborne dust particles and allergens.
