Tips for Removing Dust from Carpet
Dust can be found almost anywhere in your home and can be a real problem for allergy sufferers. If you suffer from allergies, you will want to choose carpet over hardwood floor or tile. This is because carpet traps the dust within its fibers whereas smooth flooring lets the dust continue circulating throughout the air in your home.
While carpet will reduce the amount of dust in your air, it won’t reduce the amount of dust in your home. There are several filters available for purchase that can help remove dust from the air you breathe and services available to remove dust from your carpet.
Furnace Filters
Forced air in a home can generate a lot of dust and circulate it throughout the entire house. In order to prevent this, you will want a good filter system for your furnace, preferably an electricostatic model as opposed to the throw-away. Electrostatic filers are very efficient in removing dust, although they are a bit more expensive. The good news is that they only need to be cleaned once every 3-4 months as opposed to purchasing news ones throughout the year.
Purifiers
If you suffer severely from allergies, you might want to consider an air purifier system in your home. Some of the units can be pricy, but combined with the proper furnace filter; you can eliminate a significant amount of the contaminants within the air in your home. According to most reports, it typically takes about two months to notice the impact of an air purifying system.
Vacuum HEPA Filters
One thing to consider before purchasing a new vacuum is its filter. Canister or upright vacuums with HEPA filters are the best at removing all of the dust and contaminants out of your carpet and keeping them within the unit’s bag or storage container until you empty the unit. If your vacuum has a low-quality filter there is a good chance that the dust is circulating right through the vacuum and back into your air, making your vacuuming process highly inefficient.
