WHAT if we told you there was a way to clean your home less often in just three easy steps?
A home and cleaning expert shared the techniques they use to make sure their space is as dust-free as possible, meaning you can go longer between each deep cleaning.
TikTok user and social media star Chantel Mila, who is best known as Mother Milashared a video with her followers titled, “3 Simple and Effective Hacks to Reduce Dust Around Your Home.”
The cleanfluencer then went through them one by one and started with why it’s important to ask guests to take off their shoes when they visit.
She explained, “Take off your shoes upon entering to prevent dust from entering your home.”
Mama Mila then moved on to the second trick of the trade, which was to make a home spray to spritz around to remove dust particles.
The ingredients of the easy-to-make spray contain only warm water and lemon oil, which means it will also help keep your space smelling fresh.
Chantel’s final tip is to change the way you usually vacuum.
Instead of using a dry cloth on your closets and closets in every room, Mama Mila says it’s important to dampen the cloth.
She explained, “Damp dusting helps capture and lift dust rather than moving it.”
While her fans showered her with comments, some asked for even more dust-breaking ideas.
Someone wondered, “Does eucalyptus oil kill dust mites? Can I dilute it and spray it on dry fabrics to kill them?”
Mama Mila replied, “Yes, it’s great for dust mites. You can definitely put it in the spray bottle.”
She also said the oil can be added to the fabric softener compartment or the liquid detergent slot in a washing machine for a similar effect.
