Dusting Intricately Detailed Furniture

I purchased a formal dining set, and the detailing is very intricate. Any ideas on how to dust all of the nooks and crannies?

Use a clean paint brush. It can be an old one, but make sure it clean of any residus. Works on a number of objects! Even in cars. The little buttons, will shine.

I use an old toothbrush dipped in lemon oil to clean. Then use a soft brush to remove excess. May need to wipe soft brush on a soft cloth periodically.

Swiffer, Swiffer, Swiffer. Buy the one with the little blue handle. You won't want to use anything else once you try it.

Hi, in addition to using a soft large headed paintbrush, I also use a can of compressed air, the kind that are used for electronics and keyboards. It's literally a can of air. Just a few quick shots of it get's out the dust.

Clean the nooks and crannies of your furniture with a soft bristled paint brush. This works great. I keep on just for furniture.

I use a blusher brush (make up brush) or a soft new paint brush

I love my Swiffer too. I use it for everything including my flat panel tv and monitor. It works wonders on both.

On my crystal I use a large make-up brush. I've also used this brush for detailed carving on furniture. Works great for me.
