Don't forget to wipe walls, which notoriously attract dust that has fallen from a dusting, with lamb's wool. Dusting Author Don Aslett shows how to dust with maximum effectiveness. A good grass-type mat outside each entrance to the house will grab pounds of dirt and dust.
Prevention is the key to eliminating dust from the inside of the home.
Spray dry cloths with furniture polish, then seal in a plastic bag overnight. The polish will permeate the cloth and will more effectively pick up dust. Static cloths that are available at retail stores are also effective because they won't just knock the dust around, they actually grab and hold the dust. Go with a professional feather duster instead of a bargain duster. A cheap feather duster will drop more feathers than pick dust up.
