If you're a homeowner in Houston, you know how fast dust can accumulate—especially with the region's humidity, allergens, and air pollution. Dust doesn't just look bad; it can also trigger allergies, affect air quality, and wear down your furniture and floors.

At Erika’s Cleaning Services, we know how to tackle dust at the source. Here are our top tips to keep your home fresh, clean, and dust-free all year long.

1. Control Dust at the Entry Points

Install high-quality doormats at every entrance and encourage family and guests to remove shoes before entering. This simple habit prevents dirt, pollen, and outdoor particles from spreading indoors.

2. Use High-Efficiency Air Filters

Houston’s air can carry everything from pollen to industrial dust. Upgrade to HEPA air filters in your HVAC system and change them regularly (every 2–3 months) to trap microscopic dust particles and keep them out of circulation.

3. Dust From Top to Bottom

When cleaning, always start with ceiling fans, shelves, and window ledges, and finish with floors. This way, any dust that falls gets vacuumed up instead of recirculated.

4. Vacuum More Often Than You Think

Invest in a vacuum with a HEPA filter and use it at least twice a week, especially in high-traffic areas and bedrooms. Don’t forget to vacuum under furniture, behind appliances, and along baseboards.

5. Minimize Clutter

Clutter collects dust like a magnet. Keep surfaces clean and organize items in closed containers or drawers to prevent dust buildup.

6. Clean Fabrics Regularly

Curtains, cushions, and upholstered furniture are dust traps. Wash or vacuum them weekly to prevent dust from settling in and recirculating into the air.

7. Schedule Regular Deep Cleaning

Routine cleaning is important, but professional deep cleaning is essential for keeping dust at bay in areas that are hard to reach or often neglected. At Erika’s Cleaning Services, we offer customized deep cleaning plans for Houston homes.
