If there is one thing that will always accumulate and be present in your home uninvited, it would be dust. All the cleaning, sweeping and vacuuming aside, you can't hope to get your home to be dust-free. Yes, it can get frustrating but stop letting it get you down. With these sure ways to beat the dust, you will no longer look at house cleaning the same ever again.

First during winter you want to clean the filter of your furnace system regularly. A good idea all year round but all the more during the winter months. Better still, regularly buy a replacement filter and stick it in. That way all the dust that has accumulated over time is taken out with the trash.

Your shoes are offensive when it comes to bringing in dirt especially if you don't wipe them before entering your house. So to prevent a dust invasion, place a doormat, an old rag, or towel on the floor by the door. This will encourage everyone to wipe their shoes before entering.

Dirty door screens are not only unpleasant to look at but that situation can lead to allergies. The traditional way of cleaning door screens is to take the whole thing off, hose it down and stick it back in again. Now there's a new way to clean it using a dry sponge. Designed to get rid of pet hair from furniture, you can easily get one for use on your screen from a local pet store.

It is always best to take down your curtains and wash them or take them to the dry cleaners at least during your annual spring cleaning day. But since you may ignore that advice, simply vacuum them using your brush attachment to suck up any built up dust.

Ceiling and standing fans need constant cleaning if you want your house to be dust free. You see, dust accumulates on the blades. When you turn the fan on, dust particles will circulate with the air inside the room and fall on the floor or tabletops.

Carpets are the ultimate dust collectors and they need constant attention. Ideally, you need to vacuum your carpeted floors once a week if you don't want dust to settle in. Just because you can't see the dust, doesn't mean it's not buried there just below the surface.

Keep your hardwood floors dust free by damp mopping them. This is better than sweeping or vacuuming. After mopping, you can dust-proof the floors using liquid floor wax. Let the wax dry and finish off with a dry wipe down.

There you have it. Some hard-to-beat dust beating tips you can live by and avoid cleaning by. You didn't think it would be that easy didn't you? For those of you who are not used to cleaning and dust-proofing your house, it may seem like hard work, but as you go along it will become easier.
