Tired of North Dakota Dust? Here’s How to Keep It Out!

National Cleaning Week: Time to Tackle That North Dakota Dust! 

Spring in North Dakota means two things—mud season and a fresh start. It’s National Cleaning Week, so if you’re gearing up for a deep clean, you’re not alone!

A survey found that 80% of Americans plan to spring clean this year. But it’s no quick job—45% say it takes three or more days, and 22% say it takes at least five. 

So, what are the most dreaded spring-cleaning tasks? 

• Hard-to-reach spots like under furniture and appliances – 49% 

• Deep-clean areas like bathrooms, vents, and basements – 38%

And let’s be honest, the dust never seems to go away. But there are ways to fight back! Here are five ways to cut down on dust in your home: 

1. Check your filters and vents. Change HVAC filters at least every three months—or more often if you have pets. Regularly clean vents, too! 

1. Use an air purifier. This helps trap dust and pollen, making breathing easier, especially for allergy sufferers. 

1. Vacuum often. Every couple of days is ideal. Can’t keep up? A robot vacuum can do the work for you.

1. Keep windows closed. Especially on windy days or when air quality is poor—this keeps dust and pollen outside where they belong. 

1. Ditch the shoes. The easiest way to track dirt inside? Wearing shoes indoors. Leave them by the door.

Spring cleaning isn’t the most exciting task, but with a few smart habits, you can keep your home fresh and ready for the new season.
