  • repelling dust;
    In a spray bottle combine one cup of water, 1/4 cup white vinegar (to cut through dirt and clean), four drops lemon oil (to protect and polish wooden furniture) and two tablespoons of coconut oil. The coconut oil is the secret to help repel dust for longer.

  • I wish I had an answer to this question too.


  • Have you watched Everybody Loves Raymond on tv? The mother covers her lounge suite in plastic. That’s extreme but is the only thing I can think of to keep your furniture dust free


  • I have lived in several houses, and our current home is probably the dustiest I’ve ever lived in. No sooner have I dusted and I can soon see a new layer of dust. Aaargghh!!


  • oh gosh, cannot wait to read these answers – our house is a dust bowl


  • Dust is everywhere and if you have carpet it is much worse and since we got ours removed my allergy cough had subsided .


  • I would also like to know this! I can’t stand dust and it seems like I am forever dusting. I think it’s worse with hard floors as you can see every little dust particle.


  • Even if you clean every day I think it’s unavoidable. Dust is part dead skin (a big part) which flakes off us all the time….


  • well i don’t know! i have got an air humidifier and filter and it really takes sooo much dust out of the air! we live next to a busy road and since using it, i can see a major difference. you could always put covers on things. keep the house shut up as much as you can stand.
