Home dust: what is harmful and how to fight

Home dust is not just unpleasant, but also dangerous for health. What you need to know in order to protect yourself and your loved ones from "dusty" problems?


Where does domestic dust come from?

There are four main sources of dust in our homes. First of all, these are materials from which the walls, furniture and household items are made. Over time, they are destroyed, and their particles settle on the surfaces. Part of the dust comes from the street. Another part is the dead cells of our skin. In addition, pets make their contribution.
The main part of house dust - up to 80% - is microscopic dust mites. And they are the most harmful inhabitants of our apartment.

What is the danger of house dust?

Dust mites are to blame for a sharp increase in the incidence of asthma and allergies. They cause a quarter of all cases of allergies and half of all asthmatic diseases in the world. Especially vulnerable to "tick" allergies are small children. And the main danger is that an allergy to a dust mite in most cases leads to asthma.

Are there dust mites in my house?

According to a study conducted by the Moscow Research Institute of Pulmonology, on average in a Moscow apartment for every gram of dust there are 100 mites. This concentration is already enough to provoke an asthma attack in the child.

We go to bed in a "warm company" of about two million of these microscopic creatures. No wonder, because our bed is a favorite habitat for ticks. There they find and heat, and the necessary humidity of the air, and food - the particles of our skin. But in bed, we spend a third of our lives - there is something to think about, is not it?

How to deal with dust mites correctly?

Regularly boil bed linen and change it at least once a week. Regularly ventilate the apartment and try to remove the "dust collectors" like rugs and soft toys.

And most importantly - at least twice a week, carefully vacuum the whole apartment. It is important to choose the "right" vacuum cleaner. It must have a powerful filter and a maximum sealed inner dust bag. Choose the most modern models of famous manufacturers who care not only about the quality of their equipment, but also about the health of its consumers.

How do I clean the house where there are pets?

Vacuum cleaning the owners of animals is worth doing more often: 3-4 times a week. In this case, the airtightness of the dust collector of the vacuum cleaner plays an important role. After all, animal hair, after it was collected by a vacuum cleaner, can become a source of terrible smell. But if the inner tank of the vacuum cleaner is sufficiently dense, this problem can be avoided.

Pure comfort

The creation of coziness in the house requires careful attention to detail. This is especially true of order and purity.
To achieve the best result, it is always possible to find a worthy assistant today. For example, Bosch vacuum cleaners are capable of providing impeccable cleanliness in an apartment in a matter of minutes.

Various brush brushes especially carefully remove dust, both from a parquet floor, and from any carpeting, upholstered furniture and even radio equipment. In order to make cleaning easier and hygienic, Bosch vacuum cleaners have a special shutter that completely eliminates dust contact. All dust collected during cleaning is left inside the dust bag and does not leak out.

If someone from your family is allergic, Bosch specialists specially for such people have developed vacuum cleaners with a HEPA filter class H12. They have such a high degree of air purification from the smallest particles, which is even recommended by independent European institutions for monitoring air purity.

In addition to high performance, Bosch vacuum cleaners are easy to use. For example, to ensure that the nozzles are not lost, many models provide one universal, which is stored on the handle of the vacuum cleaner and replaces all traditional nozzles. In addition, in order not to bend over, it is enough to move, turn off or change the power of the device with an easy movement of the foot.

But most importantly - you can be sure that the vacuum cleaner will last a long time. After all, Bosch - one of the few manufacturers who installs for their vacuum cleaners a service life of at least 10 years.
