I have a couple pieces of furniture I have inherited that spent some time in basements/garages and have gotten dust ingrained in the little cracks and crevices - is there a good trick for getting it out? Product and/or tool you could recommend? Thank you!!

Alee, I was wondering the same thing as Mara, never heard of dusting cream, sounds interesting though. Would like to know about it. Thanks

Alee: What's "dusting cream"? Enquiring minds, and all that :-) |

I just did this on an antique bed with carved flowers. I got an old toothbrush and then covered the head of it with a microfiber cloth. Then I gently but firmly brushed the dust in the nooks and crannies. I was able to get most of the dirt out of the cracks and carvings. The microfiber really grabs those little particles!

When I was in the cleaning business we would use paint brushes dipped in our dusting cream. It really worked.

I love Murphys oil soap it will get the dust out of cracks and all and leave the wood nice too.

I haven't tried it but would the small soft brush that comes with the vacuum work?

I have used old blush brushes that have worked great.
