There you go, no more dust! She is now completely gone and for quite a while :-)

Easy, fast and efficient, right?

Not only did you remove the dust effortlessly, but you also cleaned and disinfected your furniture!

It's still pretty handy, isn't it? And it saves time.

With this grandma thing, you don't just stir up and move the dust.

Indeed, it remains well hung on the cloth thanks to household alcohol. It's an effective trick to prevent the dust from settling!

Thus, it will not settle on the floor or on other furniture that should also be dusted.

And that's less work to do!

Additional advice

You see, you don't need Swiffer to make a dust-catching wipe or Plizz Fée du Logis!

Your cloth soaked in household alcohol is just as effective and much less expensive!

It is an excellent homemade dust remover to dust light bulbs, baseboards and moldings for example.

It is also very effective for dusting laminate, laminate or Formica furniture, but it is better to avoid using it on raw wood furniture.

If you need to dust in hard-to-reach corners, use a brush instead of a cloth.

Dip it in household alcohol and pass it over the objects to be dusted.

Why does it work?

Household alcohol is essentially composed of alcohol. It's mostly denatured methylated spirit. This is what makes it an effective cleaner and disinfectant.

Wetting your cloth with rubbing alcohol helps capture dust. It therefore does not redeposit.

And at the same time, household alcohol leaves a light transparent film on the cleaned surface. It is this protective film that prevents dust from returning.
