When it comes to spring cleaning, the number one enemy of
the home is dirty and difficult to remove — and it is everywhere. That enemy
is, of course, dust. And it begs the question: Why do homes get so dusty?

“Household dust is a complex matrix of components including
dust mites, dust mite feces, bacteria, mold, pet dander, small insects, pollen,
and particles,” Ketan Patel, design manager of floor care at Dyson, told Better
Homes & Gardens. “Dust mite droppings, dead bodies of dust mites, pet
dander, and small insects are included as allergens.”
Invest in air purificationAccording to Home Advisor, how quickly dust collects inside
a home depends on a few environmental factors. The age and quality of a home’s
HVAC filter, duct leaks, and humidity levels can all affect how quickly dust
accumulates.

A great way to reduce dust buildup in the home is to invest
in a high-quality air purifier. Purifiers with UltraHEPA, carbon, and volatile
organic compound (VOC) filters can eliminate dust, microorganisms, pollen, mold,
bacteria, and several viruses.
Clean those dirty carpetsDirty carpets are often filled with dust mites, making them
a significant cause of dust buildup inside the home, according to Kukun. The
largest causes of dust mites and nasty particle buildup in carpets are pets and
walking around the home in your shoes.
Regularly cleaning your carpets can have a significant
impact on dust dispersion throughout the home.
Check for leaksAccording to Upstairs Downstairs Cleaning, leaky windows and
leaky doors can do more damage to your home than simply running up the
electricity bill. Dust and pollen can blow into your home through these leaks,
especially if you live off of a dirt road or in a dryer area.
Most hardware stores sell epoxy solutions to fill in door
and window leaks, ensuring that neither your energy bill nor annual spring
cleaning get out of hand.
