If you have lots of interior decorations, you know that they tend to collect lots of dust.

Some of them have unusual shapes that are difficult to dust properly, and some of them are just too fragile.

So what can you do?

Choose the right tools

Select soft and gentle cleaning tools that won't scratch or damage delicate surfaces. 

Avoid using rough or abrasive materials like rough sponges or paper towels.

Remove loose dust

Before dusting, gently tap or shake the decoration to dislodge any loose dust. 

Dust regularly

Aim to dust your interior decorations at least once a week or as needed, depending on the environment and dust accumulation.

Dust gently

When dusting, use light and gentle strokes to avoid applying excessive pressure on the decoration. 

Reach difficult areas

For intricate or hard-to-reach areas, use a soft-bristled brush or a clean, dry paintbrush to gently dislodge dust. 

Use compressed air or vacuum

In some cases, it may be useful to use compressed air or a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment to remove dust from hard-to-reach areas or intricate details. 

Avoid liquid cleaners

Unless specifically recommended by the manufacturer, avoid using liquid cleaners on interior decorations, especially those made of delicate materials. 

Liquid cleaners can seep into crevices or damage the surface, causing irreversible harm.
