Dust: it goes away and it comes back! Removing dust seems like a repetitive, unavoidable and incredibly frustrating process. We get tired of removing it (by letting lots of it fly everywhere, otherwise it’s no fun) and always ventilating the house well. However, nothing seems to work and the results are sometimes unconvincing. Often, it remains in unreachable corners and it seems to come galloping back as soon as your back is turned. In fact, the secret is to adopt the right methods! Here are 21 tips to overcome it and be more effective in the face of this ‘scourge’. So, let’s start by swapping the unnecessary duster for a good microfiber cloth and let’s hunt down dust particles and mites that irritate the airways and harm air quality. No more allergies at home!
Otherwise, make our little recipe for a spray that removes dust and delays its return or ready-to-use lemon wipes.
1) Using a clothing roller can dust off a lampshade without damaging it.
This can also work on certain fragile trinkets where you are afraid of leaving scratches. You have no idea how much dust you will eliminate with this tip!

2) Make a cloth more antistatic (and therefore more effective) by soaking it in a mixture of water, white vinegar and liquid paraffin.
With this dusting, dust and dirt will return less quickly. And above all, this helps prevent dust suspended in the indoor air like a simple feather duster would do.

6) Clean the slats of your blinds with a used dryer cloth.
Another effective solution is to pinch the blinds with your hands after putting on a clean sock. The sock will clean both sides. Otherwise, use pliers covered with microfiber cloths to remove dust buildup on the blinds.
