Habits that help

  • Vacuum at least weekly, using a vacuum with a good filter
  • Damp-dust surfaces instead of using dry dusters
  • Wash bedding weekly at a high temperature the label allows
  • Wash curtains and cushion covers regularly

Reduce the sources

  • Keep clutter down, because every object collects dust
  • Use mats at doors and take shoes off
  • Ventilate rooms and keep humidity down to discourage mould and damp

Deep cleaning

A deep clean reaches the places that gather dust unnoticed: under beds, behind furniture and on high surfaces.

Common questions

Will cleaning cure my allergies?

No. Cleaning can help reduce triggers in the home, but medical advice is for a pharmacist or GP.
