Here are a few tips from Maids and Moore on how to properly dust your furniture.
1. Make sure to use a cleaner that will not damage the furniture – first try testing a small area that is not visible
2. NEVER spray directly onto furniture-this will cause staining, fading, and damage to your furniture. It may also cause a hard to remove film that will either take a while to remove, if it can be removed at all. Some pieces of furniture have sentimental value and you want to make sure they are always taken care of and cleaned properly
3. We recommend that the cleaner is sprayed directly onto a microfiber cloth and then wiped following the grain of the furniture. This will prevent a very visible film across the furniture which is caused by your rag being saturated with cleaner it will only pack and press the dust onto the furniture verses removed the dust from the furniture.
