For those of you who use dryer sheets,* there is another use for them after they have tumbled around in the dryer. I place mine above the washer in a cardboard tube from a paper towel roll to save them to use for dusting.
They are particularly handy for wiping off the TV, as the same properties that prevent static cling also pick up any dust that has settled on the screen. (Remember your middle school science classes? The charged dryer sheet will attract the neutral dust particles and voila! The dusty surface is now clean.)
The upside to using these versus using a regular rag? The dust sticks to the dryer sheet and doesn't fall off.
*I know, I know, we should move away from using the dryer and line-dry our clothes. And I agree that we should all be focusing on conservation and preservation, but let's face it. Drying clothes on a line is not always going to be practical or feasible for everyone.
