5 Dusters in Greater Manchester Manchester City Let Someone Else Dust

Your cleaner will dust all surfaces from top to bottom, ensuring that dust isn’t spread to clean surfaces. The exact inclusions depend on what you need dusted, though. Here are some of the most common dusting services:

Dusting furniture and ornaments

Furniture and ornaments easily collect (and show) dust. Your cleaner will ask if you want them to dust under or around any objects on your furniture. If they’re dusting under items, they’ll start by removing anything on top of your desks, drawers, tables, and other furniture, before removing dust with a damp cloth. If they’re dusting around items, they’ll use a feather duster to lightly remove dust from the surface (including ornaments) without disturbing anything. Next, they’ll use a duster to wipe behind and under furniture to remove any cobwebs. They’ll also dust shelves and wipe down window sills.

Dusting walls, ceilings, and wall hangings

Ceilings and walls may not collect much dust, but they do attract cobwebs and small insects. Your cleaner will gently dust surfaces, spot-checking for cobwebs in common areas, like cornices and behind doors. They’ll use a feather duster to remove dust from any wall hangings, especially the tops of photo frames. Finally, they’ll dust over skirting boards or baseboards to ensure dust does not settle there.

Dusting blinds

Most blinds need regular dusting, but especially horizontal Venetian blinds or interior shutters. Blind cleaning involves moving the blinds so they’re fully exposed by tilting them and/or fully closing them. Your cleaner will dust them using a damp microfibre cloth, wiping from the top blind, down to the bottom. Next, they’ll tilt the blinds in the other direction to repeat the process on the other side.

Post-renovation dusting

If you’ve just finished renovating a room or your whole home, it’s very likely that you need everything dusted to remove sawdust, plaster dust, and more. This is best done before vacuuming to ensure all the dust has settled onto the floor. Your cleaner will start from the top down, dusting ceiling fans and vents, before dusting any trinkets and display items. They’ll dust over electronics and appliances before wiping benchtops, tabletops, and skirting boards.
