Dyson's Cleaning Guide for Tackling 'Invisible Dust'

"Cleaning Only Visible Dust Is Not Enough"
Essential to Manage Blind Spots Like Mattresses and Curtains
Proposing 'Systematization' with Smart Devices

On April 29, Dyson announced its “Spring Home Cleaning Guide” for a comfortable indoor environment, based on the results of its global dust research.

According to the “Dyson Global Dust Study 2023,” 60% of respondents across 39 countries said they only clean when they can see dust or debris. Notably, 62% reported that they do not clean their mattresses separately, and areas like curtains and blinds (59%), walls (54%), and baseboards (51%) were also identified as common cleaning blind spots. However, throughout the home, invisible fine dust containing skin flakes, dust mites and their droppings, and bacteria—all of which can cause allergies—accumulates in these neglected areas.

According to the guide, following a top-to-bottom cleaning routine is essential for effective indoor air quality improvement. It is recommended to dust the ceiling, walls, and tops of furniture first, and finish with the floors. For hard-to-reach places such as light fixtures or narrow gaps, using devices like Dyson's slimmest cordless vacuum cleaner, the “Dyson Pencilback Fluffy Cone,” is efficient. Its lightweight design at 1.8kg and 360-degree rotating head allow for easy removal of dust from cleaning blind spots.

Once dust in these blind spots has been removed through thorough cleaning, the next step is to maintain comfort by “systematizing” cleaning with a robot vacuum. Dyson recommends several strategies for efficient use of robot vacuums: initial mapping, setting area-specific cleaning modes, and utilizing smart cleaning scheduling features. In particular, by connecting the “Dyson Spot & Scrub Ai” robot vacuum with the MyDyson™ app, users can manage spaces like the kitchen, living room, children's room, and pet areas with tailored care. Depending on the floor type, users can select vacuuming and mopping together, vacuuming only, or mopping only. After cleaning, the detailed maps provided by the app help users identify contamination patterns in their home and adjust cleaning schedules or rules accordingly.

Maintenance tips were also suggested to ensure the premium robot vacuum continues to perform reliably. After mopping, the wastewater tank should be emptied immediately to prevent odors and contamination, and hair tangled around the brush bar should be removed regularly. In particular, it is advised to wipe sensors and cameras with a soft, dry cloth about once a month. The filter should also be washed every month, thoroughly dried, and reinstalled to maintain consistent performance.
