Dusting sucks. There, I said it. I have been known to put it off as long as humanly possible, which isn’t good for my home or my allergies.Learn from my failures and don’t let your house become the #1 party spot for all the neighborhood dust bunnies. These dusting tips can help keep your home dust-free with the least effort possible.

1. Clean your ceiling fans without the mess.

Ever turn the fan on only to find it’s flinging dust all over your clean room? Surprise! You’ve forgotten to dust the blades for a while! Cleaning a ceiling fan is a pain, but this trick of using an old pillow case to wipe and contain the dust at once makes it much easier. Just shake out the case in the yard and toss in your next load of laundry.

2. Save money on dusting refills.

Sometimes you put off dusting simply due to the cost of refills for your tools. Don’t let that stop you. Instead, pull a fuzzy sock over your Swiffer and dust away. The fuzzy fibers will trap the dust and wash right out in the laundry.

3. Make your own no-sew duster.

With a microfiber cloth and some fabric glue, you can make reusable refills that fit your duster handle. Cut the cloths into strips for maximum dusting power.
