FOR MOST of us, dusting is the bit of cleaning we leave to the last minute – aka never quite get to it.
When we do start dusting, not only do we realise all of the horrors that we’ve allowed to breed inside our homes (dust mites! webs!) we also realise dusting is definitely one of the more satisfying aspects of cleaning, one that unleashes the #hincher in all of us.
For anyone who’s a fan of the Instagram cleaning sensation, you’ll know Mrs. Hinch takes her dusting very seriously – and has quite a few fantastic hacks for all of us to adopt.
For example, she recommends using a dry tumble dryer sheet as a duster on a variety of surfaces, which not only gets rid of dust but can help particles from accumulating.
Mrs. Hinch also introduced us to a very special guy called Dave – aka the Pledge Fluffy Duster Starter Kit. This effective duster has a cult following of fans who swear it can reach into every nook and cranny.
Most classic feather dusters of days past have now been updated and are made from microfibre, for an efficient way to dust everything from shelves to picture frames without needing any cleaning products.
For hard-to-reach cobwebs (that aren't part of your Halloween decor), every home needs a telescopic duster with a flexible head, to reach up to the ceiling and bend down under furniture.

The five star reviews say it all, like this one from a fan who writes: 'I buy this duster to keep the dust away, and it's all you need, I don't have to use polish with this, so I clean up much quicker. It reaches the ceiling too, as it extends from short distance to more.'
