what do you use to dust?

fitzroy

I'm confused.

By microfibre do people mean ecloths and the like?

How do I make a cloth damp rather than wet? If I dip part of it in bowl of water and squeeze it out it's still wet until left to dry for a bit!

Help please :undecided

A microfibre cloth if I am just dusting, but to polish I use a home made duster (usually pyjamas or sheets in a former life!) and Woodsilk for solid wood items. I don't polish anything that isn't solid wood, a quick dust is all that is needed!

I use polish and a microfibre cloth, works well for me.

Dunk it all and wring it out really , really well. You can get different stages of damp for different jobs. For dusting you want almost dry again.

I find a microfibre cloth dampened slightly with a solution of water & fabric conditioner works amazing well on just about all surfaces.


We have an open fire, two cats and two days and its a constant battle keeping the dust down but this is a quick, easy and cheap strategy

I love using sponge cloths; oddly enough I find the Morrisons and Asda own brand ones easier to wring out, and last longer than the branded vileda ones. But at any rate, these are excellent for dusting. I find it far easier to get them to the 'damp rather than wet' stage, than j-cloths and the like. Oh and if it's something with fingerprints I'm dusting, i'll rinse the cloths in water with washing-up liquid to give them extra de-greasing power.

Microfibre cloths

I use one barely damp then buff with a dry one. I also use one that is specifically made for windows , mirrors and stainless steel, no streaks ever . Bought that one in Bee and Em

OK I am going to plead ignorance here. If you have got wood furniture (or even the cheap veneer wood effect stuff) is it OK to get it wet/damp? I remember years ago a friend wrecked her coffee table eventually by using baby wipes to clean it.

I use a damp cloth on non wooden surfaces and spray polish and a dry cloth on wood.

I am genuinely intrigued!! Please put me right.
