Surprising tricks that'll help with your cleaning routine.
From Real Simple
Broom as Long Distance Duster
To dust crown moldings, place a microfiber rag over the broom's bristles and secure with a rubber band. Then use the long handle to dust areas that your arms can't reach. No more circus acts (starring you, on a rickety, wobbly stool).
Dusting Cloths as Shoe Cleaners
Revive last season's leather shoes by giving them a wipe with a dusting cloth to remove dirt and lint that's accumulated over the months.
Pillowcase as Ceiling Fan Duster
Slide an old case over a fan's blade then pull the fabric back, keeping all the dust and dirt contained.
