10 Ways To Keep Your Home DUST FREE

[@rocklobstah1876]

Great advice ❤ Interestingly, i listened to a scientific consumer programme about efficiency of vacuums and dust, and "Which?" reports in testing that a combo of vacuuming with the window open (as the vac actually disturbs and blows dust around the room),using a bagged corded vacuum for high suction, and emptying your vacuum cleaner bag/canister OUTSIDE really helps cut down on dust and allergens.

[@lizzieb6311]

Great info! Years ago when Dyson came out I jumped on it…I justified the high cost because I’d never buy another vacuum bag again. While the Dyson worked great, the dust mess it created when emptying and the residual odor drove me BACK to a bagged vac. I’ve now had my Miele bagged canister vac for over 16 years…same vac…no odors…no mess when removing the bags - which, hold quite a bit of debris. Never a bagless vac for me again!

That Maker’s Clean green dusting mitt thingy is Afreakingmazing. Game changer.

Love your recommendations. I used rent a house where the dust was mad crazy! I could dust, and the next day there would be fine particles on some surfaces. I realized (amongst most things) the HVC ducts needed to be cleaned. I asked the owner, he laughed and thought I was making it up. I did an experiment where I taped off the air vent in my little office. After two years I moved because the dust situation and overall maintenance of the house was terrible.

Man, I hate it when people who you need to act blow you off! I had a similar problem with an apartment. For one thing, it was hard to see, being on the first floor, and having covered parking right in front, and evergreens in the back. Every time I vacuumed, dust would get everywhere, but I couldn't see it happening. By the time I did a few things, I noticed the dust. Eventually I complained, because I didn't get where it was coming from. They finally told me that the previous renter had cats, and must have used baking soda on the carpet (old cat lady). After asking them to clean the carpet a couple times, they basically kicked me out. I started getting sick a lot here, and haven't been right since☹️

Id say that if you can, its best to leave windows open as much as possible. The air inside your home isn't as healthy as the air outside. Indoor air pollutants are up to 8 times higher than outside air. Def worth the small cleanup compromise of a little dust coming in from the window. Let that healthier air flow in! Lol ..or y'all do whatever u want. But I keep my windows open nearly all the time

[@sherrysink3177]

Wow, that's so crazy! When I was little, and my mom wanted us to help dust, she would give us a dampened cloth (not totally wet), so that's how I've always dusted. But it never seemed to get everything. Now I want to try it your way! 😄

[@supergran1702]

Thanks for another great video. Outside dirt from wearing shoes doesn't just make more work, it wears the carpet out sooner. The dust particles have tiny sharp edges and our shoes grind them against the carpet fibers, wearing them out. (Info from Don Aslett, OG cleaning guru)

[@TwilightedForever1]

LOVE Don Aslett!

[@l.gonzalez9488]

Great ideas and tips! 😊

[@rajbhatia5035]

Nice video. Can u please suggest a tool to clean bath tub. As i have some limitations. Thanku

[@maryellenyork2819]

Foot pain can mean having to wear supportive shoes all the time. I have indoor shoes that do not go outside. I like door mats both inside and outside. Thanks for the tip to dust dry before cleaning. I did not realize that wiping with a damp or wet cloth does not save a step but requires more effort.

[@julienolan5695]

I've noticed that electronic furniture like, a stereo set up or tv stand, tends to attract dust quicker than anything else in the room. Are there any hacks to repel this dust or is it just tough toenails and needs to be dusted more frequently?

1:46 Shoes OFF policy is a must. The Asians have had the right idea since forever. Shoes indoors are super gross. 🤢

[@staissitrading6675]

I think shoes entering the house is an american-only thing. Most of europe, whole asia, whole africa, it's no shoes inside house policy. That's like 7 billions out of 8 billions humans. Not sure about aussie-NZ region though.

[@amya8316]

Weird question, what floors do you have in the room that you’re vacuuming with the black brick fireplace? I love them and have been on the hunt for new floors lol!

[@frocksandscrubsadvanceecoc3533]

My trusty bucket and microfibre cloths will always be my choice to handle the tropical dust I face here in the Caribbean. "It is not nice Melissa" But I prevail every time. 😏

[@Bobross83475]

I use old dryer sheets for dog hair

Hi Melissa, thanks for this video. Question: how do you keep the jade plant in the back with such dark and shiny leaves?🍃

[@lynettegoulding2608]

Thanks for the tips

[@MarshaCaughill]

Thanks for sharing ❤❤❤❤

[@samsam2727]

I find that my microfiber clothes get linty after just a couple of washes- any tips?

[@sharleanebailey2795]

You wash micro cloths by themselves only. Otherwise they attract lint from rest of textiles.

[@maryellenyork2819]

What do you think about lambs wool dusters?

[@EzzyDT]

Thanks for all your videos. I subscribed to your website but could not receive your free ebook. I am sure it was something I did. Can you help me download the ebook? Thanks

Try a paint brush cleaning comb to get the hair out of hair brushes and cat brushes.

[@gohawks3571]

How did you know that's what I was doing?!😂 Do you have any advice on how to clean sofas? You probably did this, so sorry uf I missed it. I finally figured out my cushions have zippers😁 Took a while before I had the guts to wash them. But the back cushions do not cone off. One sofa has a zipper to get the foam out, but the fabric is attached. The other one is corduroy, and nothing comes off. So, anyone's advice appreciated❤️✌️🥰👍

[@tarafotty3149]

I almost always use the dusting attachment on my vacuum for all things dusting, especially since I have a lot of pets. I also vacuum nearly every surface of my house, from my pantry shelves, oven, fridge, window sills and baseboards.

[@michelledeehorticultrist]

I agree with not wearing shoes in the house. I was brought up that way and I hate when my husband and my mother in law wear there shoes in the house knowing that I don't like it. Any tips or advice would be appreciated.

[@shalryma]

I have comfy guest slippers that I give to all of my guests that insist on not taking their shoes off in my house. This way they don't have to be shoeless if they don't want to, and I don't have their outdoor shoes on my floor. Should work on live-in husband too, make sure his slippers are super-duper comfy or with something he likes, or funny - mine is a goofball so pair of slippers that look like cat paws worked like a charm!

[@suebowden5615]

My husband refuses to take his shoes off in the house. I see clumps of dried mud everywhere….until it all falls off. Yuck

[@emguilbe]

@@suebowden5615 Sounds like an inconsiderate, thoughtless,rude fool!

[@SSsays29]

Is there a DIY cleaning solution for cleaning white leather bags without drying it out. I stained my new ted baker bag with liquid lipstick ( external surface ) 😢.

[@susancarroll6686]

I have special shoes for my ankles and flat feet. no shoes gives me pain. I take shoe covers when I go to someones home.

What is the best way to launder your microfiber cloths to maintain their effectiveness?

[@chrissydawn2783]

Thank you for your great video I live in New Mexico and trust I always have a ton of dust in my house 1:24 and yes I have dust all over my shoes daily 😂

[@cleanmyspace]

Oh yes I can only imagine how dusty it gets there!

[@CocoNicole84]

Wearing shoes in your home is gross on so many levels. I don’t open my windows and I still get so much dust! Can you make a video for upholstered beds?

[@lifewithcarol3069]

Any tips on how to convert your home to a shoes off home.

[@angelawhitehead1785]

Lead by example , I started taking my shoes off and taking them to a cupboard not saying a word . My son and husband soon copied what I did . My husbands walking boots have a tray out in the conservatory to dry .

[@julietannOsfan1972]

Great tips. Did you realise that you spelt breathe wrong? It was spelt as breath.

[@lsawyer3523]

Haha haha. And for you it’s “ spelled”. 🤭
