My other half. :cool:

My mum uses a slightly damp towelling tea towel which is actually brilliant as the dust stays on the towel. (it gets washed straight afterwards) I don't think manmade fibres help at all - think of the static in your hair when you remove an acrylic jumper.

I use a home-made feather duster - it used not to be home-made, but I've had it nearly 20 years and it's had several sets of new feathers and one new handle - I call it 'Trigger's Broom'

I go by granny's advice and start at the top (Cornice/picturerail) and work my way down the surfaces/furniture in strict height order. When all the dust is on the floor, I hoover.

If a surface is dirty enough to need a spray, I use cut up t-shirts or underwear with a spray made out of half value brand all-purpose cleaner (25p a litre) and half water with a capful of zoflora in an old spray bottle, or baby oil on wood surfaces.

Kitchen towel or my cordless Dyson.

I hoover everything. After all the dust mites have a right to life without fear. However, I do clean the windows with vinegar and newspaper. Smells like a chip shop but can be a talking point when all else fails. :cool:

I don't think I could stand listening to the noise of a vacuum to do all the dusting.

Also do you use it for ornaments and the like?

Ditto. The dusting brush attachment on my Henry vacuum cleaner gets a good workout.

For places I consider too fiddly to vac, or when I can't be arrissed to get the vac out, it's a microfibre cloth dampened with plain tap water.

A yellow feather duster thing which doubles as a cat toy. Or I use the nearest cat. I don't use polish on anything.

Another feather duster / cat toy user. My cat seems to think that her role, whilst cleaning the house, is to kill the feather duster and then pluck it.

I also use a wet cloth and washing up liquid where needed.
