My quest for a dust-free home is neverending

My quest for a dust-free home is neverending My quest for a dust-free home is neverending. Even if I'm simply managing the weekly buildup on the piano, bookshelves and photo ledge, I'm detesting it every step of the way.

Ever since I abandoned store-bought, pretreated dust cloths -- read: Swiffer Sweepers -- my dusters of choice have been microfiber cloths. They're a satisfactory alternative, but to be honest, I don't find them nearly as effective as Swiffers. Then I thought, if only I could combine the effectiveness of Swiffer Sweepers with the reusable appeal of microfiber cloths.

That's when I came up with this homemade version of Swiffer cloths. No worries: the recipe totally natural. (Though it should be noted that, according the Procter & Gamble, the ingredients in Swiffer Sweepers aren't too bad either; the company lists wax and various fragrances as the pre-treating ingredients).
