Throw out your feather dusters! Plain water ( rinse hands, shake off, then blot on cloth) on a soft cotton, cheesecloth, or micro fibre cloth will minimise scratching delicate surfaces.

We removed the whole roof so all that was left were the 4 walls, which meant we built a new house inside the old walls, and we have dust everywhere. we do have a wood burner so I'm sure that doesn't help. I always say if someone stands still for a while they would have cobwebs attached. Now I just close my eyes to dust, and get on with more interesting things.Barbara Lilian in Francehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05798063785447224950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5385735624350758337.post-36678003609553488622013-02-13T18:17:12.441-08:002013-02-13T18:17:12.441-08:00So glad to hear we are not alone!

Glad to hear it even occurs with hardwood...we were blaming carpets.<br />Must share a true anecdote: A dear friend had her young and precocious grandson visiting. Looking under the bed for something, he turned to his grandmother and said: "Gram, aren't we made of dust? If so, I don't know who this is, but SOMEONE is either coming or going." ("For dust you are and to dust you will return."- Gen. 3:19)<br />My mother could strike fear in the heart of even dust bunnies with a single "look"....I never saw one particle of dust in her house. Wish I had the knack.<br />Lm<br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5385735624350758337.post-2622808097258985952013-02-13T17:46:21.070-08:002013-02-13T17:46:21.070-08:00The belt has no name to identify it...or I would s...The belt has no name to identify it...or I would send you the details as ebay might have one, it does say leather but that is all.hostess of the humble bungalowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06453827257671312902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5385735624350758337.post-890666696269707412013-02-13T17:44:43.092-08:002013-02-13T17:44:43.092-08:00Happy Valentine's Day Sheila.

My little bungalow is very dusty. We have always blamed it on the railway which isn't far from our house. I keep a duster handy to sweep the surfaces clean, but I only polish once a week. <br /><br />The flowers are beautiful. Hope this posts. I've been having trouble all week.Kristien62https://www.blogger.com/profile/04141776821818167047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5385735624350758337.post-36300168078030292222013-02-13T12:38:54.537-08:002013-02-13T12:38:54.537-08:00I clean the tables daily, and there is always dust...I clean the tables daily, and there is always dust on the rag.

We moved into a new home 23 years ago and vacated an early 50's style home that was such a pain to keep clean and neat. I was hoping our new house would be easier to clean and require little if any dusting. How wrong I was! We have hardwood floors which highlight any accumulated dust on floors or table tops when the sun shines in through my many windows.<br /><br />About 10 years ago we had a whole house air cleaner installed which was advertised to capture 99% of airborne particles. It should have been advertised as .99% because I still have as much dust as before. I blame it on tree pollen coming in open windows or airplanes exhaust (we are less than 5 miles from Dulles International Airport). Now that I am retired I don't seem to be as troubled by it as long as it doesn't become a health concern. I just dust once a week or sooner if I find myself sneezing. If I feel too lazy, I just close the blinds or curtains and ignore it until later. I must say though, when I do clean house, I certainly don't look as nice as you do. <br /><br />Happy Valentine Day tomorrow.
