Is Dust Mite Allergy a Sign of a Dirty House? No. Certainly a dirty house can worsen the problem and it's important not to let surface dust accumulate, but more-than-ordinary housekeeping measures may be needed to help relieve house-dust allergy. The task of getting rid of dust is complicated by the fact that usual cleaning methods like vacuuming, dusting, and sweeping actually raise dust levels in the air. Even thorough vacuuming and dusting do not reduce the number of mites growing in carpeting or mattresses. Using a Lindhaus vacuum can help substantially reduce dust and the dust mite particles in your home. In fact, while most vacuum cleaners fill the air with dust while being used, the Lindhaus actually cleans the air as you use it.

Traditional dusting: Ineffective and harmful. Dusting your home the old fashioned way with rags and scented sprays is ineffective and can be harmful. That's because dust is recirculated, and chemicals are introduced into the living environment which can be extremely hazardous to allergy and asthma sufferers. Beam Central Vacuum System dusting attachments allow you to put more power into dusting. A Beam system removes 100% of contacted dust, mites, dander, pollen and other allergens and carries them away from the living environment to a canister usually located in the garage or basement. Regular deep cleaning with a Beam system means you'll breathe easier and dust less often.

When cleaning the kitchen, for instance, it makes sense to clean the counters before you sweep and mop. This is because you may inadvertently or intentionally send crumbs and other debris to the floor to sweep them. With dusting and vacuuming, however, it is a little different. Since vacuuming typically kicks up a lot of dust that is not sucked up by the vacuum, it is better to vacuum first and then dust. After running the vacuum, give the dust a few minutes to settle, then go in with the Pledge and the dust rag. The exception is if you use a HEPA filter. It is capable of capturing very small particles. In this case you may want to dust first and then vacuum, ensuring the vacuum sucks up the most dust particles.

Dust your home or office. Once you've attached your cleaning tool, plug in and turn on the Rainbow vacuum, and begin cleaning as you would with a canister or bag vacuum. Run the brush slowly along the weave of upholstery or other fabrics. Place the dusting brush on a flat surface and run it side to side across the surface---overlapping each swipe slightly to guarantee that you removed all of the dust.
