Tuesday’s Tip: Dusting

While you may know I’m slightly head-over-heels in love with Swiffer products, I do have a couple other tools in my caddy that I use for dusting. After all, having the right tool makes completing the chore much faster.

Make-Up Brush

I use this on delicate items that need dusting such as my plants. I also use it to dust my knick-knacks that have lots of crevices where dust can hide. This works great on pleated lamp shades too!

If you want to get one for dusting, just make sure it’s soft – avoid that stiffer bristles as they will scratch.

Foam Paint Brush

This handy-dandy little tool is perfect for getting into corners  – especially the corners of the individual window panes on my doors. Because of it’s tapered end, it really gets into the creases.

I also keep one near my dryer to clean-out the lint trap.

Sticky Tape Lint Roller

Besides removing pet hair from clothes, it gets if off my furniture and drapes. I also use this on throw-rugs before vacuuming.

This also removes all the lint and fur from Little Dude’s felt books better than anything else I’ve tried.

Using these tools on-top-of my usual duster helps me dust my home. Having the right tool to do the job feels like I’m really cleaning.

Do you have any unusual tools for dusting or cleaning in your caddy? Or do you have a question about dusting? Please leave me a comment!
