What Is The Best Way To Dust Furniture?

For dusting furniture, you can either use pre-treated dust cloths or add polish or wax to a clean cloth. Never use a dry cloth without polish or wax; it will only scratch your furniture and spread dust around.

Make sure to use a clean cloth for dusting your furniture and wash your dust cloths when they begin to get dirty. Make sure that the washing machine load contains only cleaning cloths in order to keep cleaning chemicals from coming into contact with your clothes. Pre-treated dust cloths will retain the treatment through several washes. Do not put dust cloths that have been coated with wax or polish in your dryer - this includes pre-treated cloths and those that you have used with cleaning agents.

If you would like to create your own dust cloths, use a lintless fabric like cheesecloth,an old cotton T-shirt, or flannel.

Dusting helps to care for your furniture, keeps your home clean and eliminates allergens. Homeowners agree it may not be a favourite chore, but it's essential!

Lick it off.  No joke, the saliva left behind becomes invisible soon after, and the saliva residue actually prevents dust from reforming on your furniture.  Before licking, make sure you haven't eaten in at least 2 hours and are properly hydrated.  If you have trouble getting your mouth wet, either drink some water or look at your favorite food, and your mouth will salivate.
