Dusting, what do you use?

-Static dust brush
-Soft Cloth
-Dusters
-Moist cleaning wipes.

What is your weapon or weapons of choice?

Twice a week I dust using the Plege dusters.

Once a week (wed) I dust using lemon oil. A lot of our furniture is antiques and lemon oil keeps it from cracking.

I use a barely damp cloth rag to dust or a swiffer duster (works great for things with grooves or carvings etc).

Sometimes I use a little bit of lemon oil on a rag after I've dusted...definately not every time though - it really just depends on the item.

This is how I feel like I look when I am tackling them dust bunnies:




I usually try to dust once a week, it's not my most favorite thing to do. I use a static duster, Pledge wipes, soft cloth and a vacuum cleaner.

Me too, with water. If something truly needs polished, I used my own "hippee" mix.

Microfiber cloths or once in a while a Swiffer duster - they're really good for in cracks and stuff, like someone else mentioned.

I dust furniture, etc with a damp cloth with some Dr. Bronner's Sal Suds spray on it, it's very mild, gets off sticky spots and smells clean.
Since I have hardwood floors through the whole house, I vacumn daily and then use the Swiffer to get the dust bunnies under the furniture a few times a week. If I don't, they get massive and full of pet hair, yuck....how do they get so big so fast? I also use a damp wash cloth on my swiffer with Sal Suds spray to do a quick damp dusting of the floors about once a week, gets that stubborn dust film.
