Is there anything I can use to dust with other than polish?

    My mum can't use polish as she's allergic to it, she just uses a damp cloth instead

    Have you tried microfibre cloths? There's a thread on here somewhere but I can't find it. I'm sure someone will come along soon and point you the right way.

    Yep - got the hint from another thread - microfiber clothes - I bought a pack of 3 from Lidl for under £2 and they're brilliant. Can be used dry or damp and they go in the washing machine. (No fabric conditioner - and put inside a pillowcase or suchlike). Best buy in ages.

    i would go with the barely damp cloth too, if i am feeling really lazy i just stick the nozzle of the hoover round about, gets rid of most of the dust

    Any chance we can have all the dust threads merged? Seems to be 2 or 3 on the go today :confused:
