East Austin Dust: Why Homes Over Here Need Extra Love
If you live anywhere near Cherrywood, MLK, or the east side, you know the deal — dust is just part of life. You can sweep, mop, wipe everything down, and two days later? It’s back, like it never left.
We hear it all the time from clients in East Austin:
“I just cleaned yesterday, and there’s already a layer of dust on everything!”
And they’re not wrong. Between ongoing construction, older streets, open lots, and the dry spells that hit this side of town harder, East Austin homes just collect more grime.
Why It Happens
East Austin’s charm is in its mix — old bungalows next to new builds, oak-lined streets next to busy roads. It’s also what makes it a dust magnet.
Every passing car kicks up fine dirt that drifts right into your home through open windows, vents, and doorways. Add in pets, daily foot traffic, and A/C systems that have to work overtime in Texas weather, and you’ve got a perfect storm.
You can wipe it away, but if you don’t keep up with it regularly, it turns into that thin, sticky layer that dulls everything — floors, countertops, even your mood a little.
What We Do Differently
For our Cherrywood and East Austin clients, we adjust how we clean to fit the neighborhood. More attention to baseboards, ceiling fans, vents, and the spots that quietly collect buildup. We use microfiber everything — it traps dust instead of pushing it around.
And if you’re on a recurring plan, you’ll never hit that “ugh, it’s everywhere again” moment. We come in before it gets noticeable, so your home stays bright, not hazy.
Real Talk
You can’t stop the dust — not entirely. But you can stay ahead of it.
That’s what we do for our east side regulars: we keep your home feeling fresh even when the outside world’s doing its best to sneak in.
So if you’re tired of watching your clean surfaces fade back to gray every week, we’re already cleaning your neighbors’ places — might as well make yours next.
