Have the right tools for cleaning out dust.

Dust can crop up quickly, and you want to make sure your cleaning carts are filled with the best tools to stop it from clustering. It’s the season for spring cleaning, and maintenance crews should be prepared to combat all of the buildup from the winter months.

Consumer Reports suggests using microfiber cleaning cloths to stop dust in its tracks. Because dust can build up over the winter months because it’s difficult to air out the inside when it’s cold, any surface can look a little worse for wear. The news provider reports that microfiber cleaning cloths are soft and unlikely to scratch the surface, unlike other cleaning solutions with bristles. You may want to consider using them on particularly soft surfaces that are more likely to show scratches.

The news provider also suggests using an entrance mat can do a lot for keeping the building clean. Mats with the right grip can help stop people from tracking in dust, dirt and other outside residue on their shoes.

You need to make sure you have a good cleaning tool that doesn’t just sweep aside the problem. Good Housekeeping reports that while feather dusters are common, they just move the dust around. Microfiber cleaning cloths can actually pick up the dust as it’s being used.
