We all want to live in a dust-free home! Especially if you have allergies to home dust, I know how annoying your life can be! So I will share 8 secrets to a dust-free home for you! You will find spots that you never thought of!
1-VENTS
I went around my house and took up these vents. You can put these in the dishwasher and make them all clean. Look at the dust and dirt in these! All the dog hairs and dust can get stuck here without you thinking about it. I recommend doing this at least once a year. You will see how much difference it makes!
2- UNDERNEATH THE TV
After three weeks of forgetting to dust underneath our TV, there was a layer of dust! I found this car wash mitt from Dollar Tree, but I thought it was perfect for dusting these spots. Spray some dusting cleaning solution on the glove and make that spot dust free!
3- CEILING
The ceiling is very high in my mudroom/laundry room, and I can see the webs and dust in the corners. I got my good old broom to reach those spots and got rid of all the dust and webs in there! That is another spot we don’t think about, but it makes a difference!

4- LAMP SHADES
The best way to dust the lampshades is to use a lint roller! They are great for getting all that excess lint off. I got mine from dollar tree and keep it in my cleaning basket.
5- LIGHT BULBS
The thing with the bulbs is the dust gets stuck on them. The dust accumulates so much on the bulbs as well. So what I like to do for this is use rubbing alcohol. Get some rubbing alcohol on the microfiber cloth and put on the light bulb; clean off any excess dust. Your light bulb will shine brighter! Don’t also forget to wipe the light bulb when they are cold.

6- VENTS YOU CAN’T UNSCREW
You don’t necessarily unscrew the vents from your wall all the time. That would be very time-consuming, so I have another idea for this. Get yourself a ruler and microfiber cloth. You will use these to go in between the slots. You can do the same thing on your blinds!
7- CEILING FANS
I will tell you how to clean your ceiling fan blades and keep them dust free! Get one of your old pillowcases or buy from a dollar tree. You will put the pillowcase over the blade and slowly slide. This way, you can clean the top of the blade and the side of the blades. Then you can get underneath the blade by sliding inside. You are going to get a ton of dust this way! After dusting, you can use a cotton ball and put some essential oils on the edge of the fan. I love using the vanilla extract for this. When you turn the fan, it will be a pleasant smell!
8- AIR FILTERS
You want to make sure you are cleaning your air filter frequently. This will impact the amount of dust that accumulates within your home! Change your air filter often so that you keep control of the dust around.
