San Diego House Cleaning Services

Dust is a major opponent of the average homeowner. It likes to build up on all surfaces of the home, destroying the clean and tidy feel that most people love.  If you are having trouble beating the ever-accumulating dust, then consider these tips to make the chore much simpler.

San Diego Maids

To deal with dust, many people end up hiring maid services. San Diego professional cleaners often have great ideas when it comes to this accumulating monster, and most professionals will tell you one of the trickiest spots in the home, when it comes to dust is on and around electronics.  If you have seen this trend in your house – on computers and printers, televisions and cable boxes, DVD players and stereos – then you will be in need of a microfiber cloth, which is a highly absorbent material, but also clings to dust much easier than terrycloth or other materials, which is very efficient in tough to dust areas.

Similarly, curio cabinets can be a big challenge.  Often containing several small knickknack-like items, they can be a challenge to dust, but with the use of a small makeup brush, it is possible to get into the nooks and crannies. Vinegar is a very effective cleaning agent on glass and can help to wipe the dust away.

House Cleaning San Diego

The biggest complaint of homeowners is often the dust build up on ceiling fans.  As they spin, the dirt and debris will often go unnoticed, but turn them off and the pile up is immediately evident.  In order to clean the surface without making a mess around it, consider the use of a drop cloth (or old bed sheet).  Use a vacuum with the soft brush attachment to suck up the majority of the dirt and then use a damp cloth or paper towels to wipe the blades clean.  Keeping them damp will ensure that the dust sticks rather than being stirred up to fall right back on the blades moments later.  It will also help remove any greasy build up, which is often seen in the kitchen setting.
