Proper Way to Dust

Everything has to be learned-/even, the simple art of dusting. The proper way.to dust is to have a duster in each hand, which method is quite necessary to success, for the duster in the left hand is needed to prevent finger-marks when steadying and lifting highly polished furniture. -v i Each piece of furniture should be wiped lightly from top downward to remove the dust, and then, after the duster has been shaken out of the window—never oxer the carpet—the wood should be smartly rubbed to bring up a polish. Be sure you treat a stuffed cushion with a brush and duster before dealing with the wood, otherwise the dust from the upholstered cushion will fly out on to the wood of the chairs or sofas.
