Wiping dust is probably one of the least popular tasks.

Much worse is when the dust comes back right after cleaning.

So make it easier for yourself.

  • Wiping dust

    is annoying -

    but it can be made

    easier

    with a

    few simple tips and tricks

    .

  • In addition to the

    most suitable cleaning rags

    , the

    technology

    also plays

    a decisive role

  • And what effect does

    fabric softener

    actually have

    on dust?

Offenbach - who doesn't know that?

You

have

just

cleaned a surface

with a

duster

, and the

dust

is already there again

.

It is to despair.

Yet there are a few

tricks and tweaks on

how to

effectively remove dust from

the

apartment

and

keep

the dust out

not coming back anytime soon.

Prevention: Avoid dust from the start

According to “Brigitte”, we spend 16 months cleaning our lives.

A long time that we could certainly use better.

Of course, you can't do without it entirely, but we can significantly reduce the time in which we have a dust rag in hand.

And so banal as it may sound now:

avoids

you

from the beginning

to the

dust

, saving you look at some one time.

There are

two simple tips for doing this

.

The first is

ventilation.

If you open the windows for a few minutes in the morning and in the evening, the dry and dusty air is exchanged for fresh air.

In addition, you should ensure a

higher humidity

in the living rooms.

Because moisture is the greatest ally in the fight against annoying dust.

Wipe dust properly: A dry cloth is counterproductive

To get more humidity in a room, simply place a

bowl of water

on a

warm radiator

.

Evaporation creates more moisture, binds the dust and prevents it from spreading rapidly.

If you also want to beautify your room, you can

fall

back

on a

houseplant

.

It also filters other pollutants from the air.

It's a win-win situation.

Once the

dust is

there, there are

tricks on

how to get

rid of

it

effectively

.

The

right cleaning rag

and the

technology also play

a role.

"A dry cloth is rather counterproductive as it moves the dust," explains Claudia Windfelder, online coach for household issues, to "t-online".

“A

cloth made from natural fibers

such as

cotton

is best

.

“This should be washed out again and again while cleaning.

In addition to the cleaning rag, the right technique also helps in the fight against dust

For

large floor surfaces or textiles

is in the

battle against dust

, a

vacuum cleaner

.

This should definitely be equipped with a

HEPA filter

, as this holds back many particles.

If the vacuum cleaner does not have this filter, some of the dust is blown directly back into the air - and that would be suboptimal.

In addition to the

right rags and cloths

, the

cleaning technique

also plays

a role:

Household coach Windfelder recommends the following wiping technique to push

the

dust together and absorb it

: “From top to bottom, from inside to outside and from back to front.

The

cloth should

work

in circular movements

so that the

dust

collects in one place and can be easily removed. "

Fabric softener can work wonders in the fight against dust

Means: First

clean higher positions

before vacuuming the floor.

Otherwise some dust could fall on the freshly cleaned floor.

You should always clean from the back to the front so that all the

dust

really

comes away and does not remain in the back corners.

A

final little trick

to effectively combating dust in the home is

fabric softener.

A small amount of it in the mopping water ensures that the dust can no longer adhere as well to the surfaces after cleaning.

(Melanie Gottschalk)

In addition to regular dusting, you should occasionally take a particularly thorough house cleaning.

Only those who take it carefully will discover the hidden dirt traps in the apartment.
