- Clean regularlyDust electrostatically ‘sticks’ to hard floors and the longer it sits on the floor, the more effort is required to ‘peel’ (or dislodge) it off the surface. Cleaning regularly makes it easier to remove dust, which applies to the whole house and not just your floors. Cleaning one spot a day means you can achieve a whole house deep clean every month. This is a highly recommended frequency to maintain a clean home without getting overwhelmed by the daunting task of trying to deep clean your entire home at once.
- Clean the right wayThere’s an inclination to reach for a damp cloth and/or wet mop to clean and kill germs around the house. However, wet cleaning with disinfectants and vacuum suction to remove fine dust are two very different jobs, and they need to work in unison to achieve a clean home. The most common mistake is mopping a dirty floor and therefore creating a more favourable habitat for dust mites and mould to grow. It’s essential to remove all the dust and dirt from your floors before mopping to achieve a barefoot and genuinely clean floor. Dyson vacuums are engineered to provide up to 185AW of powerful suction to remove all the dust in your home.
- Use vacuums with advanced filtrationThe main purpose of vacuuming is to remove the dust and dirt from your home. A vacuum with advanced filtration is essential to ensure that all the nasties in your vacuum, stay within your vacuum, rather than being expelled back into your home. Some vacuums come with a five-stage filtration system to achieve 99.99% per cent filtration of particles as small as 0.3 microns, which ensures that the dust you’re sucking up remains trapped in your vacuum, and only clean air is expelled back into your home.
- Use the right toolsSweeping and dusting may make surfaces look clean, but they don’t remove dust from the home. What they do is agitate dust, so it becomes airborne again only to settle somewhere else in the room. There is no ‘one size fits all’ when it comes to cleaning your home. From the size of your home to whichever part you’re cleaning, being equipped with the right vacuum and tools is key.
