Never dust again with this clever hack

Finally, a solution! - by Jane Pine
  • 08 Aug 2018

Who hasn’t perched precariously on top of a ladder, dusting those hard-to-reach spots on top of kitchen cupboards and above the fridge?

It’s easy to forget about these hidden spots, which can accumulate a lot of dust over time.

So apart from grabbing a long handled duster, what can you do?

Next time you’ve finished reading a newspaper (or a junk catalogue in the mail), use a sheet or two to layer on top of your shelves.

After a few months, gently lift them down and replace with fresh sheets.

You’ll never have to strain with a duster again.
