Living in Colorado means enjoying the outdoors, but it also means dealing with dry air, pollen, and dust that creeps into every room of your home. What if we told you that your go-to cleaning method might actually be making the problem worse?

🚫 The Mistake: Dry Dusting

Using a feather duster or a dry cloth might look like it's working—but in reality, you're just sending dust particles back into the air. They resettle minutes later on your furniture, shelves, and floors.

✅ The Fix: Damp or Electrostatic Dusting

Here’s what works:

• Use slightly damp microfiber cloths to trap and lift dust
• Use electrostatic cloths that attract particles with static charge
• For hard-to-reach areas, use a HEPA vacuum attachment

🌀 Clean from Top to Bottom

Start with ceiling fans, then furniture, then floors. Dust falls as you go, so this method prevents rework and keeps things truly clean.

🌬️ Colorado Bonus Tip

Dust enters most homes through door gaps, cracked window seals, and air vents. Use weatherstripping, door sweeps, and high-quality air filters to limit dust from entering in the first place.
