Household Dust - Dangers & Solutions
|
HINT: Household dust isn't
just innocent dirt. It usually contains some combination of mold,
pollen, dust mites, dander, dead skin cells, particles of toxins and pollution
and even germs. Many of these particles can cause allergies and diseases.
When you sweep and dust without taking
proper precautions, these unhealthy particles actually become more dangerous,
floating into the air and into nasal passages and lungs before floating
back onto other surfaces in your home. Follow these guidelines for
your own health and comfort, and for children or other family members' well-being:
|
-
For damp or sticky floors such as
those in the kitchen, bathroom or patio, sweep with a smooth motion,
dragging the broom across the floor. Vigorous sweeping may feel
good but doesn't make for a clean house or clean air. Use the
upright dust pan to avoid stooping; this keeps your face further from
the dust and debris you are disposing of.
-
For dry floors, use a dust mop with
Duster Spray, pictured above. Duster Spray is a dust magnet; it
picks up and holds the dirt. From time to time, take the mop outside,
close the door so the dust won't drift back inside and shake thoroughly
while holding your breath. Select from our Washable dry
mop (wash in a lingerie bag, please), our Chemically treated mop,
or our new Microfiber Dry Mop.
-
Use Duster Spray on dust cloths as
well. When you dust without Duster Spray, some stays on the cloth
but even more floats into the air. Take the dust cloth outside
occasionally and shake vigorously to remove excess dust.
-
Dust accumulates in cracks, behind
furniture and in other hard-to-reach places, drifting out with stray
breezes or vibrations to contaminate other surfaces in your home.
Use the Ultra-Slim Duster with Duster Spray to get into all those tight
spaces and REALLY clean. You'll be shocked at what you find hiding
in cracks and behind your furniture!
