Summer cleaning tips: 5 ways to protect your home from dust & sand

Summer is all about sunshine, beach trips, and outdoor adventures, but it also comes with a downside, dust and sand invading your home! With these summer cleaning tips, you can enjoy the season without turning your home into a sand dune.

1. Stop the sand at the door

The best way to keep sand out is to prevent it from getting inside in the first place:

  • Place doormats at all entrances and encourage family members to wipe their feet.
  • Keep a small brush or a bucket of water outside so sandy shoes get cleaned before they cross the threshold.

2. Sweep & vacuum frequently

Sand and dust accumulate quickly in corners and under furniture. Prevent buildup, especially if you have carpets or rugs, by:

  • Vacuuming high-traffic areas daily.
  • Giving hardwood and tiled floors a quick sweep with a microfibre broom, which traps dust rather than spreading it.

3. Keep windows & blind dust-free

Summer breezes bring in a layer of dust. Clean your windows, sills, and blinds regularly:

If window cleaning isn’t your forte, book a SweepStar to handle the task with expert care.

4. Wash beach towels & linen often

Sand likes to cling to towels, bedding, and even curtains. Make it a habit to:

  • Shake out and wash beach towels and linen as soon as you return home.
  • Wash light summer curtains at least once a month to prevent dust buildup.

5. Mop & dust with the right tools

Dry summer air makes dust particles settle faster. Instead of using a traditional feather duster, which can spread dust, opt for microfibre cloths and mops that trap particles effectively. Mopping floors weekly with a damp mop also keeps them sand-free.Want a thorough deep clean? Book a Sweepsouth service and let the pros tackle every nook and cranny.
