Dusting textured surfaces: Basic housekeeping tips

Lots of people don't really like dusting, and they like it even less when they need to clean textured surfaces.

It's way harder to do because you don't want to destroy beautiful textures of your house items, but it also collects dust a lot.

Here are a few things you can do to make it effective.

Dusting Cloth

Get a soft, clean cloth. It can be a microfiber cloth or an old T-shirt. Make sure it's dry.

Gentle Wiping

Gently wipe the textured surface with the cloth. Move your hand or the cloth in a circular or back-and-forth motion.

Brush or Vacuum

If the texture has deep grooves or crevices, you can use a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment to get into those spaces. 

Be gentle so you don't damage the surface.

Repeat if Needed

Sometimes, you may need to do this a few times, especially if it's been a while since you cleaned. Dust can hide in the nooks and crannies.

Regular Cleaning

To prevent dust from building up, try to dust textured surfaces regularly, at least once a week.

Conclusion

Remember, the key is to be gentle so you don't damage the texture. 

With a little regular cleaning, you can keep those surfaces looking nice and dust-free.
