Cape Town’s dry summer genuinely affects indoor dust levels, and living rooms, with their fabric furniture, show it clearly.
Why summer increases dust
The dry conditions and strong south-easter wind typical of a Cape Town summer mean more dust settling indoors than during the wetter winter months.
Living room-specific impact
Upholstery, carpet and electronics all trap this additional dust more than hard-surfaced rooms.
Adjusting your routine
More frequent vacuuming and dusting during the dry summer months helps keep pace. See our seasonal cleaning guide for more.
