Task

Dust surfaces

+40 XP+15 gems

Why this matters

Why bother?

Dust is mostly dead skin, fabric fibers, and outdoor pollutants. It triggers allergies and degrades electronics.

How often

Weekly for surfaces you see, monthly for behind/under furniture.

Pro tip

Dust BEFORE you vacuum. Dust falls down. If you vacuum first, you just have to redo it.

Common mistake

Dry-dusting everything — damp microfiber picks up more and doesn't launch particles into the air.

What happens if you skip

Sniffly mornings and TVs that sound like jet engines from blocked vents.
