3 Ways to Spend Less Time Dusting

We all know that keeping your house clean and looking good is an ongoing process; it takes work. However, that doesn't mean that cleaning needs to take up all of your free time. Make your dusting as efficient as possible with Molly Maid's three ways to save time when dusting and reclaim your free time today!

  1. Dust before you vacuum. As you dust, bits of dirt and dust will fall to the floor. By dusting first and vacuuming second, you won’t have to vacuum the same floor twice.
  2. Move top down. Similarly, when dusting wall units or shelves, start at the top. Begin by first lifting and dusting each object, and then dust the shelf (both underneath and behind the objects.)
  3. Use microfiber. For best results use a damp, clean, microfiber cloth. To dampen the cloth, hold the cloth by a corner and lightly mist it with clean water from a spray bottle. You want the cloth to be damp enough to pick up dust without leaving moisture streaks behind on surfaces. Using this method will ensure that your home's surfaces and furniture are cleaned in a safe and green way.

About Molly Maid

In 1984, entrepreneur David McKinnon brought Molly Maid from Canada to Ann Arbor, Michigan, to give busy American homeowners a reliable, professional, affordable solution to messy, dirty houses. Residents of the competitive university town took advantage of the new home cleaning service, which quickly expanded to communities in other states. Today, there are more than 450 individually owned Molly Maid cleaning service franchises operating across the United States. Last year, we performed 1.7 million cleaning services, 90 percent of which were for repeat customers.
