To keep wooden furniture in its best shape, be sure to dust often. Accumulated dust creates a film layer that can scratch the surface of wooden furniture.
Leaving dust on your furniture can also cause allergies or be harmful for those with asthma.
Most dust lives on fabric, so try to vacuum carpets or upholstery regularly.
To properly dust furniture, collect and remove the dust as opposed to spreading it on the surface.
To avoid dispersing the dust into the air, where it will float until it lands back on the furniture surfaces, very lightly dampen a microfiber cloth before wiping. Remove excess moisture with a dry towel.
