Cape Town’s dust and the strong summer south-easter wind genuinely affect how often and how thoroughly homes need cleaning attention.
Why dust is a local factor
The south-easter, strongest through summer, carries dust and sand that settles indoors more than in calmer conditions.
What winter storms bring
Cape Town’s winter cold fronts bring heavy rain rather than dust, mud and debris tracked in through entrances is the bigger concern during this season.
Adjusting your routine
More frequent dusting in summer, and more entrance-area attention in winter, helps keep pace with the seasonal shift. See our seasonal cleaning guide for more.
Professional help with the dust load
