Dusting - what do you use?

[PinkRose80]

Hello lovely ladies, What do you use to dust your house? Any tips or ideas for dusting will be gratefully received!

A slightly damp microfibre cloth. I find it picks up the dust rather than moving it about.

Tickling stick.

A "static" duster on a stick. Lots and lots of little fibres that you rub or swish about and then wipe it over surfaces, attracts all the dust with little effort. Take outdoors and whack it to get rid of the dust.

The small packs of disposable dusters, I use the Waitrose own make as they are cheaper

Damp micro fibre here too and a spray of polish on the wood bits.

Microfibre reaches everywhere...bends to whatever shape you need.

Love an ostrich feather duster. Have a little one and a long one.

Odd socks

Or holey socks

I use the Pledge disposable dusting cloths. I've only just discovered them and they're a revelation! Literally takes me 10 minutes each night to go around downstairs before I go to bed. I can't imagine they'd be very good if you hadn't dusted for a while though. I also like the pledge disposable fluffy duster for higher up areas. Not very environmentally friendly though but I try to balance that out by using mostly Method products everywhere else in the house!

You can use old tight too.

Tights!

A hoover (brushy end attachment)!

A clean towel it covers the area quicker. Sprits with antibac.

Those microfibre cloths are amazing DIL got me onto them. I love them to clean the glass doors after the children have been and because of our dogs. I have three cloths just dampen them and whiz around dusting. For polishing I use pledge and an old fashioned yellow duster to spread it around but I am trying to find some proper wax to nourish the wood occasionally, Tesco used to do a lovely one in a glass jar but no more. Looks like an Amazon buy.

They stopped doing the original scratch cover so Amazon to the rescue. I have an old buffet which was my parents so occasionally I give it a once over to make it gleam again.

Damp microfibre cloth for everything reachable- an ostrich feather duster for ceilings/ alarm sensors and skirting boards if my back is too bad to bend down on certain days.

I also use the pledge fluffy dusters, and the pledge dusting cloths.
I've never understood damp dusting - when I try and wipe dust with a damp cloth, it just collects in little grey clumps, and smears back all over the surface I am dusting.

Method almond furniture polish sprayed directly on a microfibre cloth and wipe, it’s leaves a nice residual smell and shine, and I think it somehow repels dust? also smells amazing and you only need the tiniest drop

I use microfibre cloths but that added with furniture spray can also be helpfl in not spreading the dust around your home (whcih is always super frustrating!)
