After spending some weekend time cleaning, here’s a dusting tip.
Great dusting products exist on the market today. Some use electro-static cling in addition to their material composition. Others use an oil and chemical mix that you use on your own cleaning cloth to clean, dust and protect at the same time.
Neither of these types of cleaning products solve the problem of dusting tiny crevices, scrollwork or barnboard that can be found in picture frames or in electronics.
One simple but handy tool can help solve the problem and should be added to your cleaning tools collection.
The paintbrush!
This trim brush is one inch wide, made of soft but sturdy bristles and has a long handle. It has seen a lot of painting – and with a simple wash could still be used as a paintbrush; however, it works great for cleaning those difficult to dust items. The narrow width and long handle make the tool easy to use and useful.
If you have any pictures framed with a rough material – like barnboard – or any ornate scrollwork, the brush easily gets into the areas to clean.
It effortlessly cleans the speaker area of clock radios and the filter area of blow dryers too.
Dry dust the object first, then if more cleaning is needed, add a spritz of cleaning spray or furniture polish to the brush and dust again.
