Fabrics in the home, like curtains, upholstery, and bedding, can be major dust collectors. Wash bedding weekly in hot water, vacuum and steam clean upholstery regularly, and choose washable pillows and mattress covers. Consider replacing heavy drapes with blinds or shades that can be wiped clean easily.
Green Plants and Their Role in Dust Reduction
Certain indoor plants can help reduce dust by acting as natural air purifiers. Plants such as spider plants, peace lilies, and rubber plants can trap dust particles and improve air quality. However, remember that plant leaves can also accumulate dust and should be wiped down periodically.

Maintaining a Clutter-Free Environment
Clutter provides more surfaces for dust to settle on. Keeping countertops, shelves, and floors as clear as possible simplifies the dusting process. Use storage solutions like cabinets and bins to keep items organized and reduce the number of dust-collecting surfaces.
