Properly Dusting with a Microfiber Rag

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.

Dusters vs. Microfiber Dusting

While consumers lead us to believe the fastest and quickest technique for dusting is to use some form of duster, that is not the most effective way to remove dust.  When using a traditional duster you are lifting dust and allergens into the air that take up to one hour to settle back down to the surface areas. This method does not actually grab the dust and pull it out of the home. Where as by lightly misting a microfiber clothe with a PH balanced all purpose cleaner, that is safe on most surfaces, will actually remove all dust and allergens from the surfaces of your home and keep them from lifting into the air.

Here is a demonstration of just how effective a microfiber rag is verses the traditional dusters.
