Welcome to the final day of your spring cleaning challenge, where we’re tackling pesky, ubiquitous … dust. Plus:
Clearing dust is a Sisyphean task — but it’s important to do regularly across all the surfaces of your home, or it can trigger allergies and worsen certain health conditions. Today’s challenge is to grab everything that you can’t easily dust (think: your comforter, stuffed animals, curtains), and throw them in the dryer. Yep: Many dryers have an air-fluff cycle that can tumble and filter away the dust that builds up in those fuzzy nooks and crannies. The gentle, no-heat setting shouldn’t damage your stuff, and it’s much more effective than dusting by hand.
