The harmattan season is usually a dry and dusty period associated with low humidity. During harmattan a dry and dusty wind blows southwards from the Sahara across the country, it occurs between the end of November and March each year.
It is important to clean your house regularly as exposure to dust can cause many respiratory illnesses such as asthma, sore throat, cold and catarrh.
HOW TO GET RID OF DUST DURING HARMATTAN
1.Keep your windows shut; to prevent the buildup of dust ensure that you keep your windows closed as much as you can during this season.
2.Dusting; A damp cloth is all you need to pick up dust from hard, smooth surfaces.
3.Sweeping; Choose a good broom or brush that is appropriate for sweeping.
4.Vacuuming; For those who have the luxury of using a vacuum cleaner, a vacuum is actually better to use when you have carpeting and rugs in the house.
5.Mopping; Once you are done dusting and sweeping ensure that you follow up by mopping your floor, make sure you change the dirty mop water a lot otherwise you will end up mopping your floors with dirty water.
