How often do you dust?

My cleaner isn't great at dusting so I'm going to take it on myself. How often do you dust your whole house and what is the best method? My skirting boards look so dusty,!

Weekly. I use the throw away fluffy dusters as I think they trap dust better than a duster.

The skirting boards get hoovered when I hoover the floor.

Weekly and I have a flash dust magnet as I found it much better than a normal cloth duster

Rarely. I just don't.

Weekly or never depending on how you look at it., I have 3 hepa air purifiers in the house and they remove all dust from the atmosphere, meaning it is not a dust and more a wipe over to remove any dirt, like fingerprints, glass marks etc. If that makes sense. There is no dust to remove.

Weekly.

If you have a cleaner you shouldn't have to dust, I'd be looking for a new cleaner.

Each room gets done every 2-3 weeks, that seems to be enough. As per PP skirting boards are done when I hoover. I'm quite a thorough dusterer - light bulbs, architraves...

I polish downstairs things in the livingroom, dining room and hall every day as they look so dusty, takes 2 mins. Upstairs once a week and skirting boards once a month but every time I hoover I go over them too.

When I can see a film of dust in the sunlight

MushMonster · 11/11/2024 07:38

I do weekly too, for furniture.
For the skirting boards, you just pass a cloth or the hoover attachment when you are hoovering and they look a bit dusty, like maybe once a month? Mine do not get that dusty

Me neither 🤭

LilacLilyBird · 11/11/2024 08:02

Not as often as I should

I've ordered the flash dust magent @GreenFrogPinkFrog

@Littleannoyingperson please tell me more about the air purifiers! Which ones do you have? How often do you run them? Do you just have them to stop dust? I was looking at the Phillips ones...
