Dusting

[AmyBoz]

How often do you truly get out wood polish or pledge or something like that and dust your furniture? I have a feather duster that I swiff around with about every other day, but I don't really do a true dusting unless someone is cmoing over or we are having an open house or something. Am I alone in this?

I usually use Lemon Pledge a couple of times a week.

Dust? Why would I want to remove the dust on my furniture? It protects the wood from harmful UV rays!! Honestly, before I had kids I dusted every couple weeks. Now I dust, um, honestly, it isn't very often. DH sometimes complains and then I tell him where the dustrag is and that he can do it himself if it bothers him that much.

Before he moved in with me, I NEVER remember him dusting his place so I don't think he has a right to complain. Since I hate to dust, I just don't buy stuff that needs dusting. We don't have shelves or anything, so I only have to dust the hutch and picture frames.

I dust using Pledge or cheaper version once a week.
I can't stand when something has enough dust on it that you can leave messages behind

I get out my Orange Glo and polish the furniture about once a month. I use my electrostatic duster one a week, sometimes more often if needed.

LOL Melanie!

Once a week here with my Murphy's oil

I have approximately 1 sqaure foot of real wood furniture. I don't have any Pledge or Orange Glo or Murphey's Oil. I use a static duster once a week or so and a damp rag on the veneer (sp?) every month to month and 1/2.

Dare I say? Never.

I figure between all the elaborate towns and story lines that the boys build with their legos and lincoln logs (not to mention the little fannies that go sliding across the coffee and end tables in hot pursuit of an evil doer ) there just isn't that much left to dust.

Now, I do however vacuum everyday... so y'all can come over. My house is tidy even though "undusted."

LOL Beth, you got SELF DUSTING furniture that has a cosmic attraction to small boys bottom ends!

couldn't resist this thread-- I use my ostrich down duster about every few days depending on the season. Winter it's about once a week, in the hot dry windy season, it's about every other day.

I do the pledge thing separately, and get to that about every 1 to 2 months or so when it looks like it needs to shine.

I think of them as 2 separate tasks.
