Dusting is a crucial task in maintaining a clean and tidy home , as it can help prevent and alleviate various health issues. These include asthma attacks, eye irritation, and coughing. Regular dusting can also help remove pet dander from surfaces, aiding those with allergies.

Interestingly, NASA research suggests that certain houseplants can reduce dust levels in the home by up to 20 per cent. Some houseplants achieve this by trapping dust particles on their surface, requiring the owner to clean them regularly. They don't recycle the dust themselves but need to be wiped with a damp cloth so they can continue to photosynthesise.



So, which plants help to remove dust from the air? English ivy is one of them. All ivy varieties are efficient at removing dust from the air, with the most popular air-purifying plant being the English ivy, a beautiful trailing houseplant. It not only looks great but also helps to remove moisture and humidity from the air, which are the main contributors to mould growth within the home, making it an excellent bathroom and bedroom plant.

Ivy can be grown in a hanging planter to improve the air quality you breathe in and looks great trailing over a shelf. The peace lily is another plant that helps clean the air, reports the Express . It's on NASA's list of top 10 air-cleaning plants, and this natural air-purifying houseplant does more than just add oxygen to the home.

It also aids in filtering and eliminating toxins including benzene, formaldehyde, ethyl.
