Living in the desert has its perks — but it also means dust, hard water, and monsoon dust storms test your home in ways other climates don't. Here are our top tips.
## 1. Dust Weekly, Not Monthly
Phoenix dust settles fast. A weekly wipe-down of surfaces keeps it from building into a deep-clean job.
## 2. Fight Hard Water Early
Use a vinegar-water solution on faucets and shower heads weekly to prevent mineral buildup before it stains.
## 3. Rinse Patio Furniture After Dust Storms
Haboobs leave a fine layer everywhere. A quick rinse right after keeps grit from scratching surfaces.
## 4. Change AC Filters Monthly
Dusty air means dirtier filters — and dirtier filters mean dustier homes. It's a cycle worth breaking.
## 5. Deep Clean Before and After Monsoon Season
Bookend the summer storms with a deep clean to catch dust that snuck in through every open door.
