The method
- Open the window a little, and start at the top of the room
- Use a slightly damp microfibre cloth, which traps dust, rather than a feather duster
- Work from high to low: light fittings, shelves, picture frames, then furniture, skirting and floors
- Vacuum last, because dust falls as you work
Often missed
- Tops of wardrobes and door frames
- Blinds, vents and the back of the TV
- Under the sofa and bed
- Ceiling fans and lampshades
Cut down on dust
Wash bedding weekly, vacuum regularly with a good-filter vacuum, and keep clutter down, because every object is a dust-collector.
Common questions
Why is my house so dusty?
Dust is made of fibres, skin and outdoor particles. More fabric, clutter, pets, open windows and heating all increase it.
