Why spend hours cleaning the floor to have dirt and grime fall onto it when you clean higher things in the room! Think logically and work from the top down, it will save time and exasperation.

Damp dust

Blasting every surface with spray cleaner will simply blow the dust into the air, which means it will settle back onto the surfaces within a short space of time. Damp dusting is the answer. If you're going to use a spray polish, spray it onto your cloth rather than the surface.
