Have you ever watched a kid push food around on his plate? You know, the food that you want him to eat but that he doesn’t (generally a vegetable of some sort) …

Somehow, he thinks that if he just moves it around enough that it will disappear. Or it will at least look like he’s eaten some of it, and he’ll be off the hook.

He hasn’t actually removed any of this food from his plate (unless he’s exceptionally sneaky and your family dog happens to like the offending food item). But he hopes that just moving it around is good enough.

You’re wise to this trick, though, and you make sure that he eats what he’s supposed to. Right?

Dusting with a feather duster is just like that kid moving food around on his plate. You’re moving the dust around, but it’s all still there. You haven’t actually DONE anything to remove it.

The feathers of a brand-new feather duster will pick up some of the dust, but not all of it by any means. And a feather duster quickly loses even that limited efficiency.

Do this instead …

So instead of feather dusters, we use soft flannel dust cloths and Endust. We instruct our house cleaning workers to spray Endust on the dust cloth because it works as a dust magnet. It helps to pick the dust particles up, capture them on that cloth, and leave a clean surface behind.

In our experience, this has worked very well … MUCH better than feather dusters.

And, after all, isn’t that why you hire us? To get the job done and done well?

Until next time … Keep it Clean!
