Dust has no mercy — it settles on every surface it can find, especially your floors and vents. In Houston’s humid, pollen-heavy environment, keeping your home free of dust can feel like a full-time job. But with a little strategy and the right tools, you can dramatically cut down on buildup. At Lone Star Spotless Cleaners, we’ve helped countless clients maintain cleaner, healthier homes starting from the ground up.
Vacuum More Often Than You Think
If you’ve got carpet, vacuum at least twice a week, and more often if you have pets or allergies. Use a vacuum with a HEPA filter to trap fine particles that other models just recirculate. Don’t forget to vacuum under furniture and along baseboards — dust loves to hide in those spots. For hard floors, follow up with a microfiber mop to catch what the vacuum misses.
Clean Air Vents Like a Pro
Air vents are often ignored, but they’re one of the biggest contributors to airborne dust. Remove vent covers monthly and wash them with soap and warm water. Use a vacuum with a hose attachment to suck out visible dust inside the ducts — but be careful not to push debris further in. For heavy buildup or allergens, consider scheduling a professional air duct cleaning service.
Use Doormats and No-Shoe Policies
A huge percentage of indoor dust comes from outside — on your shoes. Add doormats inside and outside each entry point and encourage a no-shoes policy indoors. This small change reduces dirt, pollen, and grime being tracked through your home and into your flooring and vents.
Maintain Humidity Levels
Dry air makes dust worse. Use a humidifier during drier months to help dust settle rather than stay airborne. Aim for a humidity level between 40–50%. This also makes cleaning easier because particles stick to surfaces where they can be wiped or vacuumed away.
