Really dusty house!!!!
My house was built in the 70's. It has a lot of updating that needs to happen but my question is this. If you have a really dusty house what are some ways to keep it from getting so dusty. I dust all the time and everything still looks like I never do. We used to have birds but they died and that took away some of the dust in the air. Just wondering if anyone else has dust problems in older homes?
Re: Really dusty house!!!!
We also replaced and upgraded all of the air filters for the A/C unit, and our next step is to give all of the vents a good cleaning. Definitely clean out your window units, and if they use air filters, replace them. See if you the units need to be resealed in the windows.
If you have areas where dust could be hiding (like textured ceilings/walls), clean them as well as you can. I think it is possible for old paint to flake off, or create dust. If painting is on your "updating" list, maybe taking care of that sooner, rather than later, will help?
My husband has allergies, so we bought a small purifier a year ago (just a $40 unit - it's enough to clean the air in 1 room). I don't think I noticed a lot of change in the amount of dusting needed, but it was comforting to clean it out, and see how much dirt we weren't breathing in!
