Methods used to reduce dust in your home depend on where the dust is located. TruSens provided the below tips for reducing dust both from your indoor air, and from fabrics or hard surfaces.

Use Doormats. Placing doormats next to every door that has access to the outdoors will help to reduce the amount of dust or sources of dust that will be tracked throughout your home.

The mats are designed for shoes to be wiped and stored on so outdoor shoes with dirt, dust, and other things stepped on don’t travel further into your home than the mat.

objects. There are many decorative pieces that look great but are difficult to thoroughly clean. Cluttered areas are also an easy place for dust to collect. Reducing these types of decorative pieces or clutter can help to reduce dust.

bedding. In order to help reduce dust in your bed, utilize dust covers for each piece of bedding. There are specific covers available for your pillows, comforter, mattress, box spring, and more.

Remove carpets. Ridding your fitted carpets of allergens can be nearly impossible, even with the use of vacuum or steam cleaners. Hard surfaces are easier to thoroughly clean of dust. If you would still like to have carpeting in your home, consider using an area rug instead of fitted carpet. Rugs are easier to clean. Smaller rugs can even be put in your washing machine.

regularly. Dust can attach and build up on fabrics like clothing, drapes, and bedding, so they should be washed regularly. Use a TruSens Air Purifier. Air purifiers can help to remove dust that can’t simply be wiped away from a surface. Reducing the amount of dust pollutants in your indoor air could ultimately help to reduce the amount that land on surfaces or fabrics in your home. TruSens Air Purifiers are designed to help circulate and distribute cleaner air into a room. Dust circulating through the room’s air is captured by the filter. All filters made for TruSens Air Purifiers help capture airborne pollutants as small as 0.3 microns. They also offer a specialty Allergy & Flu filter. The Allergy & Flu filter captures 99% of airborne allergens and viruses.

Groom your pets regularly. Certain pets, such as cats or dogs will shed hair, dander, and anything else attached to their fur around your home. Grooming your pets regularly will help to contain their additions to the dust in your home. k

TruSens Air Purifiers top of mind in helping to combat spring allergies, wildfires and pet dander. Available at www.TruSens.com or Amazon
