Save Socks for Dusting
When white socks are starting to wear out and they are ready to toss out, DON'T. Save them for dusting and polishing furniture. Slip one over your hand and ole, a freebie dust cloth. If you prefer, you can coat them with a light spray of PLEDGE (or whatever other brand you prefer).HAPPY DUSTING.

Easy Dusting Tips - Outdoors
I've always had a hard time cleaning vinyl siding and the bricks on the exterior of my home, you know, cobwebs and dust!I found the nifty duster on Ebay that is used like a whip and let me literally beat the dust into submission. Even helped to vent my frustrations.
They had a website as well, http://www.dusteroo.com - a little pricey but it worked like a charm.
Great forum, thanks for providing the great tips for me and my family!

I swear by this. Attach a rag sprayed with your favorite dusting spray to a broom secure with a rubber band or old hose and give your ceiling a quick dusting. it does wonders for the air quality.By Christine
Using Used Dryer Sheets
You probably throw out dryer sheets after the laundry is done, right? They make terrific dusters! I keep them in a stack and whenever I need to quickly clean something, they come in so handy, even better than a duster.By Nadine
Dusting Techniques
- When you dust, start at the top and work down.
- A clean paint brush is useful for dusting hard to reach places.
- Spray your broom or dust mop with a little furniture polish and more dust will be collected as you sweep.
- Put old gym socks on your hands if you like the hands-on approach.
- Vacuum upholstery, it is often the only way to dust it and upholstery will last longer if it is kept clean.
- Always clean out your vacuum regularly so that it is working properly.
