27 Feb What To Do About Dust

Air duct cleaning might be the answer to your dust problems, but carpet cleaning could be the less expensive option with possibly better results.

A call that we frequently get is what to do about excessive dust. Usually, a client tells us that they are having to dust their furniture several times a week to keep the dust under control and they are wanting some information about air duct cleaning. Steamer’s Carpet Care provides air duct cleaning, but what we like to ask our clients is when was the last time that they cleaned their carpet? If the answer is “not in a long time”, we usually recommend that they start with getting their carpets cleaned, and if they are still having a dust problem, then we can look into cleaning the air ducts.

It only makes sense that carpet could be the primary culprit behind excessive dust in the home. For starters, our shoes bring a lot of dust in the house each day. Also, each time that we step on carpet that hasn’t been kept clean, small dust clouds rise into the air and then settle back down on different places such as the furniture. Carpet cleaning is usually cheaper than air duct cleaning, plus you have the joy of seeing clean carpet after the job is done . . . air duct cleaning not so much.

So if you are seeing a lot of dust, follow this advice. Start by making sure that your carpet is vacuumed frequently and then make sure that you have a professional carpet cleaning at least once a year. If you are still experiencing a lot of dust in your home, then look into getting your air ducts cleaned by an honest and legitimate air duct cleaner.
