I don't know why, but I'd have to dust every day to keep the place dusted

If I want the house to look as though I've dusted it, I have to dust every day. By the day after I dust, there is dust on all of the furniture again. Is this normal?

Do you use a dusting spray? Maybe that might help? IDK I only dust once a week at that..sometimes every other week. I HATE DUSTING. LOL

No sure if it's normal, but I dust once a week, if that sometimes.  This is one thing that's very hard for me to do during the summer due to allergies.

Dusting? What's that lol. I loathe dusting. Maybe try dusting spray might help the dust not stick so fast.

If you live in an area that gets a lot of wind or is naturally dusty, you will have this problem. You could try changing the filter on your forced air unit if you have one and see if that helps. Also try dusting and then vacuuming after the dust has settled.

Our old apt. used to have this problem. It was the air and how it circulated. My best friend who lived about 2 miles away had and still has the same problem. Try using cloths for dusting or spray or as my mom used to do just dampen a cloth.

I think it's pretty normal at least out here in the country where I am at sometimes it looks as if I didn't dust right after I dusted. Not sure what will help. I hate dusting it bothers my allergies to stir it all up but then it bothers them just sitiing also I would suppose.

I use a microfiber cloth and our filter system is just fine I think it's country living but then sometimes I had that problem living in town also.

No, maybe I should. I just use a damp cloth right now.
