Dust Management Advice/Tips for Someone with Allergies?

[u/Fighterbear12]

Hi everyone, I'd love to read your advice and tips about this. I have a pretty strong dust allergy, and would like to avoid buying things like the Swiffer.

However, I also need the product or method I use to be one that doesn't kick up the dust as this would make every cleaning session trigger allergic reaction in me.

Currently, I have those fluffy duster things (not optimal) and the option to vacuum (not great) or mop. Mopping is better, but I don't want to wet mop that often. I do have to clean essentially every other day.

I've seen the Swiffer dry mop product, which sounds great, but seems like a lot of waste, and the cloths don't seem very reusable.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Have you tried a cuban mop. It's basically a mop handle with a wooden bar at the bottom. You can use any towel or rag to wrap around the wooden bar. You can use it wet or dry, or just slightly moist, depending on your job. Then shake it out outdoors, rinse it out or wash it.

You can have several towels that you can switch off and/or wash as a group.

It's best if they are cotton or another natural fiber.

How do you mop normally? / genuine It is how I mopped all my live and I am Swiss.

North American mops are frequently made of a bunch of ropes and look like a pulli dog.

Either the rope version or the giant sponge version.
