How often do you dust?

[Born_To_Lose]

My cleaning person dusts every other week, along with her other duties.

My cleaning lady is lazy and useless. She can't follow simple instructions, she hardly ever bothers to show up, and when she does, I can't get her to do anything. She's me.

When I can write my name on the TV screen. With an HD flat screen? Rarely.

What prompted this question? Did you see that I posted about dusting today? Am I being dust-shamed?

 

[LoveTulips]

To be honest, not very often. When I finally can't take the dust/dirt then I dust.

 

[MaidMarian]

I dust every day! Just a quick straightening , dusting and sweeping or vacuuming.

I believe the last time was during the Bush [41] administration .......

 

[Lizzie00]

I dust every day!

You’re my hero!

I have a Beagle that sheds...my poodle-pomeranian mix doesn't ever...go figure.
So during shedding season it's just about everyday plus vacuum.

I dust in spurts. At times, I'm running around with a bottle of Pledge and a cloth. I might even do that a couple of days in a row. Then, well, let's say dust bunnies have been seen in the area.

Dusting?....... What's that??

Yea....me too. That's why I'm asking!

 

[Trila]

MYOB Trila.

But, but, but.......I didn't mean to pry!

 

[Trila]

Maybe once or twice a day. Small apartment, doesn't take long.

You are kidding, right?!!!! I sure hope so!

 

[Trila]

I'm embarrassed to say
I do one room at a time and sometimes one table and the junk on it one item at a time with long breaks in between

Same here! I start with one room and (eventually) work my way through the house. By the time I get to the last room, the first room has dust bunnies begging for coffee!

 

[Jackie23]

Not very often, maybe when I start sneezing.

 

[Oldeagle66]

You are kidding, right?!!!! I sure hope so!

Nope, I've always been this way. People jokingly tell me my own DNA isn't in here.

Every Monday.

I'm just curious, how often do you dust your furniture, knick-knacks, etc?

Not very often....depending on how the sunlight hits the room! Swiffer is my friend. We have 2 German Shedders (Shepherds) that are inside alot of the time...so dusting & vacuuming is futile!! Our choice

with a bottle of Pledge

Pledge - does that still exist?

As a pragmatic someone living alone for decades, answering to no others, infrequently. I rarely have guests so tend to keep clean items for which health may be an issue like eating utensils and kitchen areas, while having little concern for dust atop things that have no consequences.

I do wish my residence had hard floors instead of its carpeting, an endless source of dust I just need to live with. Won't ever own another residence without hard floors. Can always toss a few rugs about where they have purpose. Otherwise carpeting is a disaster for a photographer. My 2-story 903 square foot residence is currently as dust free as it has been in several years. Still have some dusty messes, especially piles of dusty paperwork and maps I still need to sort through into hanging file boxes.

I own a 12hp floor vacuum and a 500 watt battery stick vacuum. As my surgery approached, went on a cleaning binge and was quite thorough turning all up-side-down for about a week. That included, removing books from 3 bookshelves, dusting them, sorting, and rearranging. And with a new desktop computer being built, totally rebuilt a large zone of electronic stuff to make setting that up smoother. Won't happen again for a few more years.

If you use low watt bulbs, you won't have to dust as often.

 

[Trila]

If you use low watt bulbs, you won't have to dust as often.

Good tip!

Pledge - does that still exist?

I looked. It's called, "Behold", but it comes in the same bright yellow container. Of course, it's been sitting under the kitchen sink, still almost full for years. Don't get the cleaning urge that often.

I play a lot of music, and my preferred format is Vinyl. Dusting is essential. My record deck and surrounding area need to be dusted daily. Each record is "dusted" prior to playing.
