Are you a dust every day or dust when you see its dusty person?

I am the latter, am trying to dust every day but with work / animals/ caring responsibilities it just gets left.
Im hoping that a daily 10 mins will save me the twice a week 50 mins to do it all.

It is quicker if regular it’s a quick wipe whereas if it builds up it’s a wet cloth, rinsed and repeated several times

life is too short for daily dusting but keeping on top of it reduces allergies - weekly

I’ve never dusted every day, or anything like it! I try to avoid looking with my reading glasses on, so I don’t see it. With a bit of a pre Christmas blitz coming up, though, I will certainly need my specs.

Only if i can see it needs doing. Usually when I’m having a change around. Or Christmas.

Most days. Ds is allergic to dust so it has to be done. We have robot hoovers on two floors to auto keep floor dust down.
I don’t do whole house daily but main rooms every day and the other alternate.

Don't the non-dusters sneeze a lot?
I am not a great one for housework but I have to wipe a damp cloth around every week or so or I am sneezing like mad.

I assume her house is minimalist with no ornaments, pictures, houseplants on shelves and windowsills and zero clutter (is she child-free?) and even so I can’t believe you could get a duster over every surface in a house that could potentially collect dust in 10 minutes!

I dust about once a month

I have one room in my house that gets much dustier than the others. It has the loft hatch in it so it must be coming from there. It probably needs it daily but realistically, it’s once a fortnight.

The thing that triggers my reaction to dust (sneezes and puffy eyes) is when I disturb dust by pulling boxes out from under the bed or deciding for some reason to dust the top bookshelf - something a bit more dramatic than ordinary dusting. Dust just sitting there minding its own business doesn’t make me sneeze.

This thread reminded me about what my late Mum would say about hanging cobwebs.
"Leave them and then spray them silver at Christmas!"

Weekly, but it doesn't take me very long at all, so I guess I'm not as thorough as some people would be.

I dust very rarely although DH seems to do it more often. I'm not sure where he keeps the dusters tbh.

Get an air purifier with a carbon filter.

Fornightly
damp dusting with anti bac spray

If you need to dust daily, you might need to look into eliminating the sources of the dust.

It might be a better use of time to clean filters, curtains, soft furnishings, carpets etc

I dust about once every couple of months when the dust gets too thick and it starts to annoy me! Life is too short to spend it dusting.

No we don’t in my house, and we have several with allergies.

But I have been blowing my nose more since we’ve been burning a lot of logs, so that might be related.

Dust? Whats that?

I'm a 'I've lived in this house 6 years and have never intentionally dusted' person.

Sure, when like when doing a big clean of a room (probably happens maybe once in 2 years) most stuff will get a wipe, but I would never intentionally dust in the way that my nan did.

I am very alleric to dust (mites) so when my sneezing gets out of control, I know its time! In theory one a week, in practice much less for most of the house.

Im
a dust when someone is visiting and you can’t get away with it anymore kind of person!!
I get more housework done in the hour before someone arrives than I do at any other time.

Only when the sun shines into the house and then when I can be bothered!

Ive been known to write the date in the dust to remind me to get around to doing it.

Its just never convenient when I notice it...and I'm not a 'today is dusting day' type of person

Dust when we have visitors - cleaner dusts some rooms every 2 weeks. Works for us.

Once a month. I work 6 days a week with a long commute, and I hate dusting.
