What are some ways to control the amount of dust in your house?

To control the amount of dust in your house, use a pleated filter in the furnace to catch it before it circulates. Cleaning furniture with a dampened or microfiber cloth captures dust effectively.

Make the atmosphere inhospitable to dust mites by using the air conditioner to reduce humidity, and vacuum carpets regularly, especially in high-traffic areas. Remove dust from floors by sweeping with a synthetic bristle broom and then damp mopping. Minimize clutter and place display items under glass so that dust doesn't get trapped in small areas, and keep closets clean by storing items in plastic bins or hanging bags.
