As the weather gets cooler and we’re spending more time indoors, it’s a good idea to reduce the dust in your house. Prolonged exposure to indoor allergens can cause a variety of symptoms, including coughing, congestion, sneezing, watery eyes and more.

There’s no way to entirely eliminate dust in your house, but there are ways to reduce the amount of dust you and your family breathe in every day. Here are 8 ways to reduce dust in your house.

8 ways to reduce dust in your house

1. Dust with microfiber cloths. This fabric is designed to trap dust and hold it. Using an old t-shirt, or feather dusters tend to move the dust around rather than actually getting rid of it.

2. Vacuum often. Vacuuming frequently cuts down on the amount of dust build up under furniture and in corners. Make sure to use a good vacuum with powerful suction.

3. Mop often. After vacuuming, mop your floors with a wet mop.

4. Wash your bedding often. Wonder why you’re waking up with stuffy noses? Dust loves to accumulate in sheets, blankets, pillows and blankets.

5. Beat your cushions and rugs once a month. Like your bedding, your furniture cushions and your rugs have a tendency to attract dust. Every three months, take your cushions and rugs outside and literally whack them with a stick to remove dust particles.

6. Clean your walls from top to bottom. Every few months, dust walls, trim and baseboards with microfiber cloths. Start from top to bottom, so you can collect dust that falls down as you clean.

7. Replace your old, dirty furnace and air conditioner filters.

8. Hire a duct cleaning company to clean your ducts.
