If you feel like you need to wear a mask every time you tackle the dust bunnies, dip your dust rag (or mop) in a mixture of 2 cups water and 1/4 cup lemon oil. Allow the rag to dry completely before using.
Dust off artwork and paintings
Worried about ruining your artwork? Snag a piece of soft white bread and use it to gently remove dust from a painting. Then use a soft paintbrush to remove the breadcrumbs.
Remove dust from indoor plants
Your beautiful greenery shouldn’t be buried under a layer of dust. Use the softest toothbrush you can find with a little water to gently remove the dust from the leaves of your indoor plants.
