I should mention that I really don’t like to dust. It’s one of the chores that I try to assign to my kids. My bedroom furniture is particularly difficult because it has grooves that are hard to get to. Here’s a picture of the cabinet on the front of the chest after not dusting it for months, weeks, a few days. I intentionally didn’t dust for the experimental purposes. (I’m not a very good liar.)
(I really can’t believe what I will take pictures of!)
This is after dusting it with a dust cloth.
And here is the final product after using the canned air.
There is still some dust in the corner, but overall a great improvement. And it’s quick and easy too. I’m certainly not going crazy dusting with the canned air every day, but when I actually do dust, I’ve finally found a way that Works for Me!
Ooooh, good one! I'd have never thought of that. Maybe I'll save that for when the nesting instinct kicks in. Then the kids will REALLY think I've gone nuts! 🙂 Dusting isn't one of my favorites either, and I've really gone downhill since my feather duster fell apart. I really need to just break down and buy a new one. This house has too much woodwork! Your tip will definitely help with the smaller stuff though.
Thanks!
