As Ideal Home’s Cleaning Editor, I technically should love all aspects of cleaning. But the reality is that there’s one cleaning task I’ve always hated: dusting. My hatred only grows stronger in the spring months, when pollen and dust seem to take over my entire home, aggravating my allergies in the process.
Over the years, I’ve tried out so many different ways to get rid of dust, from regular microfibre dusters to old-school feather dusters and even anti-static sprays. And while all of them have offered some success, they can also wreak havoc on my air quality. Instead, I’ve come to realise that one of the things people with healthy air quality always have is a damp duster.
