Or something Grandma used?

(That's when you can motivate yourself to dust, if you're like me.)

10. Yep, or an electrostatic duster
It depends on what I'm dusting. The variety of cleaning cloths out there is amazing. The ones made for glass are wonderful. I can get the cats' noseprints off the window with very little effort. And, I can't even begin to sing the joys of Mr. Clean Magic Erasers...

3. I plant seeds in it.
It is a protective coating, leave it alone.


semi-seriously: when it gets done, which obviously is not very often, I just vacuum real good and wash what can take water, wipe with a damp cloth what can take that and either dry wipe, feather duster, or blow off what is left. Feather duster is good for emergency "drop in" company that has the decency to call first.

9. Dust? What is this "dust" of which you speak?
I like the elegant matte finish resulting from the natural build-up of cat hairs.

17. Grandma? Oh my. I use Milsek---good for the wood.
Love antiques and so have lots of wood furniture. This is grandma stuff, but I started using this before Pledge and Endust came out. That is when I dust---woefully in need right now.
