In order for the apartment to look really clean and tidy, the feather duster must be swung regularly.
But how often is enough?
Dust can never be completely avoided in the home.
No wonder, after all, most of the dust consists of old skin particles and hair.
But also dirt particles that we bring into the house or pollen settle in the living rooms as a thin layer over time.
So that the apartment doesn't look like a dusty cave at some point, you should dust it off regularly.
But how often is enough?
Always put away all objects when dusting - this way the apartment will be sparkling clean everywhere.

How often to dust?
That's what experts advise
Although dust is not harmful to health, allergy sufferers in particular should regularly remove dust from their home so that they do not have to face everyday life with itchy eyes or sneezing attacks.
Experts recommend
dusting thoroughly once a week
.
It doesn't hurt to do it more often, but most households simply don't have the time.
Dust off – that's how it works
To properly dust off, it is best to use a
dry, anti-static microfiber cloth
.
This attracts dust and doesn't smear it, unlike a damp cloth.
Always wipe systematically from top to bottom.
So start with the curtain rods, lamps and high shelves.
Then it's the turn of dressers and the lower parts of the cabinets.
Put every object such as vases or decorations to the side and wipe them completely - this way it really gets clean everywhere.
