Dust Proof Your Home - 10 Easy Hacks! (seriously simple dust free home hacks)

Get Bertha's Cleaning Book, every method for the whole house, written down: https://berthacleans.com Tonight, turn off the lamps and shine a flashlight sideways across your living room. The beam fills with glitter. That is your house, in the air, on its way down onto the shelf you dusted on Saturday. It was never your dusting that failed, mija. Dust is not dirt. Dust is traffic. It travels into your house by four roads: on the feet, on the air, off the cloth, and off of us. My mother did not dust more than you. She closed the roads. THE ROAD OF THE FEET 1. TWO MATS, NOT ONE. A rough mat outside, a soft one inside, everybody wipes twice. Then the shoes come off and the house chanclas go on 2. THE DAMP MOP IN THE LANE. Every step on a dusty floor kicks dust up onto the tables. The trapeador, damp not wet, down the path people actually walk, five minutes most mornings THE ROAD OF THE AIR 3. THE CLOCK OF THE WIND. Windows open in the still early morning, closed by noon when the wind carries the street and the pollen through the screen 4. THE ROLLED TOWEL AT THE DOOR. Slide a sheet of paper under your closed front door. If it slides through, so does the dust. A rolled towel, or a $6 rubber door sweep 5. THE DATED FILTER. Date on the edge in marker. Four times a year, every two months with a dog or cat THE ROAD OF THE CLOTH 6. THE SHEETS. The bedroom is the dustiest room in the house. Sheets shaken outside, then washed hot every week. A second set so the bed never waits on the machine 7. FEWER SOFT THINGS. More throw pillows than people means dust factories. Small rugs over the clothesline once a month, beaten until the dust stops rising THE ROAD OF THE THINGS 8. THE VITRINA. The glass cabinet in every Mexican living room. Little things behind glass never need dusting. Open shelves are for things you use THE TWO STRANGE ONES 9. THE ESTROPAJO. A good part of the dust is your own skin. Scrub it off in the shower, where it goes down the drain, and put on lotion so it does not flake all day 10. THE PLAIN PAPER. Plush toilet paper and tissue boxes shed lint every time you pull. That is why the top of your bathroom cabinet grows gray fur HONEST WORDS: you will still dust, but every week or two instead of every other day. With allergies or asthma, a bedroom air purifier sized for the room is medicine, not a waste. Duct cleaning only from a company with a real local shop and real reviews. And a dusty duster spreads dust, so rinse the cloth in the middle of the job. WHO PROFITS: disposable duster heads, dusting spray that is oil and perfume, purifiers sold to people without allergies, and the man with the truck calling about your ducts. All sold for the dust that already landed. You cannot out clean an open door. Tonight: the flashlight, then one free gate, and the flashlight again in a week. Tell me in the comments which road is open in your house, your county, and whether you live near a dirt road or a field. I read every one.
