Summer Cleaning: Dust, Health, and What You Might Be Missing
Summer Cleaning - The Correct Way of Cleaning Dust:
Dust, Health, and What You Might Be Missing
Summer is here, and the fans are spinning.
But have you ever considered what's moving through the air along with that breeze?
The Dust You Don't Notice
Fans, air conditioners, and vents quietly collect dust throughout the year.
When summer arrives, that buildup gets stirred up—and ends up in the air you breathe.
If you or someone in your household has allergies, asthma, or sinus sensitivity, a dusty fan or cooling unit isn't just unpleasant—it can trigger real symptoms.
How Often Should You Clean?
Here's a simple guide to stay ahead of the dust:
Table or pedestal fans
Clean blades and guards every 2 to 4 weeks.
Air conditioner vents & filters
Clean or replace filters every 1 to 2 months.
Ceiling fans
Dust at least once a month.
Other appliances
Check for buildup every 3 to 4 weeks.
Why It's Worth Doing
Regular dusting does more than keep your home tidy—it helps create a healthier, more efficient living space.
-
Cleaner air, easier breathing
Dust on fans and filters circulates indoors, affecting air quality. Keeping them clean reduces airborne allergens—especially in summer when ventilation increases. -
Better energy efficiency
Dust makes appliances work harder. Clearing vents and filters improves airflow and cuts down power use. -
Longer appliance life
Overworked machines wear out faster. Routine cleaning reduces strain and extends lifespan.
