Have you ever noticed that there is always a fine layer of dust on the floor, furniture, and clothes in your home, or there are clumps of lint in some places?
And these flying dust and lint are difficult to clean, which affects the cleanliness and hygiene of the home?
Today I'm going to teach you a super practical method, which I learned from an experienced cleaning aunt. She has been a housekeeper for many years, so that every family can become clean and tidy, so that customers can rest assured and satisfied.
Do you want to know what this trick is? Then watch it with me!
1. What are the flying dust and fluff?
Flying dust and lint are small clumps of hair, dead skin, dust, fluff and other things formed by static electricity.
They are ultra-light, float easily through the air, and tend to stick to various items, creating a gray covering.
These things not only make the home look dirty, but also can cause allergies, asthma, itching and other problems.
So, why is there always dust and lint at home? The main reasons are as follows:
1. The things used at home are fluffy and fluffy
These things usually contain fibers, cotton, wool, etc., and after long-term use and friction, a bunch of fine hairs and fluff will be produced.
These hairs and fluff drift around with the air movement, forming flying dust and lint.
2. Family members and pets lose their hair and skin
Human and animal hair and ** are constantly updating and metabolizing, so some hair and dead skin will fall every day, which is also an important part of flying dust and lint**.
3. Pollutants in outdoor air
The home environment is not completely enclosed, and when doors and windows are opened or people enter or leave, outdoor air will rush in.
There may be some dust, pollen, fly floc and other tiny particles in the air, which are deposited after entering the room, or combine with other substances to form fly dust and lint.
4. The cleaning tools are not used reasonably
Brooms generate static electricity when they sweep the floor, making it easier for dust and lint to stick to the broom or be swept up and floated around instead of being cleaned up.
When the vacuum cleaner vacuums, some flying dust and lint will slip out, or be sucked in to block the machine and dirty the environment.
Now that we know the causes and hazards of dust and lint, we have to find a way to clean them up. The trick I want to share below was taught by the cleaning aunt, which is to use an electrostatic mop.
Let's take a look at how to clean up flying dust and lint!
2. Clean up flying dust and lint.
The electrostatic mop relies on the power of static electricity to easily clean up the dust, lint and other difficult dirt on the ground, so that the home has a new look, and it is definitely a good helper for cleaning the home.
The method is very simple, as long as you follow the following steps, you can easily solve the problem of flying dust and lint:
Prepare an electrostatic mop and a disposable biodegradable mop. The material of the mop should be selected that can generate static electricity, such as polypropylene, polyester, etc.
Then put the mop over the head of the electrostatic mop and secure it with a rubber band or velcro. The mop should be laid flat and not wrinkled or loose.
Depending on your needs, choose between dry or wet mopping. Dry mopping is to mop the floor directly with a mop, while wet mopping is to spray some water or detergent on the mop and then mop the floor.
Dry mopping is suitable for removing dry dust, lint and other dirt, and wet mopping is suitable for removing wet dirt such as oil stains and stains.
Use an electrostatic mop to drag from one end to the other, don't drag back and forth, so as not to bring the dust and lint back to its original place.
Pay attention to the angle of the mop when mopping the floor, and get close to the ground to better absorb flying dust and lint.
After mopping a piece of land, remove the mop, fold it up, and throw it into a garbage bag so that it doesn't get dirty again. Wash and dry the electrostatic mop and put it away for later use.
Although electrostatic mops can effectively clean up flying dust and lint, if you want to make your home cleaner, you must eliminate these things from the source.
Below I share some ways to prevent and reduce flying dust and lint, I hope it will help you.
3. How to eliminate dust and lint from the source?
1. Wash and dry household items regularly
Every once in a while, bed sheets, sheets, sofa covers, etc. should be washed and dried, keep them clean and dry, and avoid dust, lint, and even bacteria, mites, etc.
When buying, choose those materials that are not easy to shed, such as cotton, linen, silk, etc., and avoid materials that are easy to shed, such as wool, down, etc.
2. Floor mats are essential
The dust on the shoes is also one of the main ones of flying dust and lint, so you have to set up a porch partition, separate the indoor and outdoor, and change slippers or indoor shoes when you enter the door.
Put a floor mat in the hallway, so that the dust on your shoes is left on the mat, and don't bring it indoors. Wash and replace the floor mats regularly to keep the hallway clean and tidy.
3. Increase indoor ventilation
Try to open windows for ventilation when the air is ***, but use curtains, screens, etc. to reduce outdoor dust, pollen, flying, etc.
