At the beginning of November, when the summer season is over, and dust has accumulated in the house over the summer, it is especially difficult to get to the top shelves, cabinets and cornices. An ordinary rag only smears the dirt, but a broom or broom raises a cloud of dust, which settles again and causes sneezing, itchy eyes and nasal congestion.
But there is a simpler, faster and safer way for allergy sufferers. You can use a regular hair dryer.
Turn on the hairdryer in cold air mode and direct the flow along the surface from top to bottom and from the far edge towards you. The dust does not settle back, but is blown down, where it can be easily collected with a damp cloth or vacuum cleaner.
Why is it better than a rag:
- There is no need to climb on a chair or stepladder; the hair dryer reaches high places from a standing position.
- Dust does not spread throughout the room. She falls straight down.
- No contact with dirt, especially important for allergies or asthma.
- Suitable for all surfaces: wood, glass, tiles, MDF.
Tip to enhance the effect: first use a hairdryer, then a broom with a wet cloth attached to the handle. This way you will collect all the dust without having to clean it again.
This method is ideal for kitchen cabinets above the stove, bookshelves, curtain rods and chandeliers.
Previously it was reported how to deal with limescale on the tap.
