Why Dusting From Top to Bottom Matters?

1. Gravity Works Against You

• Dust naturally falls downward.

• If you start at the bottom (like desks or floors) and then dust higher surfaces (like shelves or vents), the dust will settle back onto the areas you already cleaned — doubling the work.

2. Ensures a Complete Clean

• Starting from ceilings, vents, light fixtures, and tall cabinets ensures that all falling dust is captured as you move downward.

• By the time you reach tabletops, chairs, and finally the floors, you’re removing the last of the dust, not redistributing it.

3. Improves Efficiency

• Saves time by preventing re-cleaning.

• Creates a logical workflow for janitorial staff, reducing overlooked spots.

4. Maintains Professional Standards

• Clients notice when areas are spotless, especially surfaces at eye level.

• A “top to bottom” approach guarantees no area is missed, keeping quality consistent.

5. Promotes Health & Safety

• Dust carries allergens, bacteria, and sometimes chemical residues.

• Proper dusting reduces respiratory risks for employees and visitors, especially in schools, offices, and healthcare environments.
