dusting

hello,

i'd like to talk about dusting. the dust accumulates in my house like whoa, and i hate it. it is everywhere.

i have feather dusters, and i use them, but i don't like to dust often. it makes me upset.

how often do you dust? what do you use? is there ever a time when you felt very depressed because of the dust?

-R

i use a pledge duster whenever i notice a lot of dust. i live in a very grotty area so there's always dust on everything if i've left the back door open for more than an hour or two

this is probably the single biggest reason we ended up hiring a housecleaner every week or two. i always think it doesn't bother me, until she comes and dusts and i see how clean everything suddenly looks.

bane of my life. where the hell does it all come from?

I grab one of those Swiffer (pads? sheets?) and dust with it.

Dusting off ceiling fans is both the best AND worst. Best if, like me, you get a thrill from seeing so much fluffy gray yuck in one swipe. Worst because it falls all over your head.

omg dusting ceiling fans suuuuuuuuuuuuuuucks

i would put more things in my house if it wasn't for dust. when i see ppl who have like shelves full of ornaments and things i think, man, all that stuff must get pretty dusty.

haha my neighbor brushed her broom across the trim above her door when she was getting cobwebs out and there was SO much dust, like a thick coating. it made a huge cloud. gross. dusting is important.

the windowsills get bad in these parts

I thought this was going to be about inhaling cans of that spray dust stuff and I was concerned for a minute. Glad to see you're just being a conscientious housekeeper.

There's dust all over our work area right now because it's being remodelled. Every day five minutes after arriving I feel filthy.

it is time

i dusted today. those swiffer things are really good imo

you must feel really good right now

tonight, i removed a book, 3 pads of paper and a laptop from my desk in order to dust 1 half of it that was getting out of control. i couldn't bring myself to dust the other half. it was just too much.

i just dusted the other half.

I don't dust nearly as often as I should, probably. But tbh I don't really "see" the dust because my eye sight sucks, and it's not like I'm sneezing left and right when I enter my house, so...

I'm with you, surm--I HATE dusting. Unfortunately, our clothes dryer vents *inside* (don't ask), which means there is always tons of lint dust EVERYWHERE. I tell myself it is freshly washed dust and try to ignore it :(

I hate dusting so much, I'm sure because it was one of my chores when I was a kid. The dust/lint layer on some of our bookshelves is obscene.

i never dust. doesnt seem to be a need? maybe we dont shed much. i do wipe down all of our eating/cooking surfaces with antibacterial wipes a couple of times a day though.

dusting can be pretty satisfying because it's like you don't notice it's there then when you clean it it's like whoa i didn't even think it was dirty in here now it's like a little piece of heaven
