    how did it take me this far into adulthood to realise that a damp sponge is the best thing to dust with. None of those special cloths even come close. Dry dust sticks to it, and then rinses right off.

      I use a fluffy cloth, like microfibre but fluffier. I have several so when one is full of dust I just get a clean one and then toss them all in the washing machine ready for next time. A lambswool stick duster is useful for fiddly spots or reach up for cobwebs in corners. Then I just take it outside and give a few good whacks on a railing to dislodge the dust.

      you want damp because it holds the dust

      dry dust put dust in the air

      also, vacuum first, then dust because vacuum cleaners raise dust
