From a casual survey we did with our customers, we’ve found that most people dust when they see dust. We see dust and eventually we get out a dusting rag, and sometimes the furniture polish. Yes, dust is unsightly and can make your house look dirty. But did you know there are health and environmental benefits to dusting?
Before we get to that, do you know what dust is? According to ColumbiaDoctors, “Household dust is mostly made up of human skin, hair, microscopic creatures, and dead bugs.” Eewww, gross. And with so many of our household items and clothing being made from synthetic fibers (ex. carpet, sofa foam, sports clothing, etc.), the shedding of microplastics is a real threat to indoor air quality and inevitably those microplastics will settle in dust particles.
Dusting can improve indoor air quality by reducing allergens and eliminating microplastic accumulation. So we offer you this Public Service Announcement: Dust, and dust often. We have multiple dusting cloth options: the E-Cloth High Performance Dusting Cloth, the Marley’s Monsters Washable Duster Head, and soon-to-arrive E-Cloth Dusting Glove.
