There's a special kind of defeat in cleaning your baseboards and watching the dust return within days. I'd wipe them spotless, and by the end of the week they looked like I'd never bothered.
I figured that's just what baseboards do, sit near the floor and collect whatever drifts down. Then I learned the real culprit: static. Dust doesn't just settle on surfaces, it's pulled there, clinging to the electrical charge that builds up on them.
