Keeping walls and ceilings free of dust can enhance the overall appearance of an office or other business while contributing to a healthier working environment. The key for Building Service Contractors (BSCs) is having the right tools to get the job done.
Utilizing microfiber cloths and dusters – like the wall and ceiling cleaning tools available from Intelligent Design Manufacturing – is a sure way to get the job done consistently for each job. Find out more about how to fight back against dust with less effort.
What Are the Best Practices for Dusting?
Microfiber cloths and dusters are highly effective for dusting due to their unique structure, which consists of tiny fibers that attract and trap dust particles. Available in a variety of formats, this helpful material can make short work of loose dirt and debris.
When using microfiber cloths to clean dusty walls and ceilings, follow these steps for optimal results.
1. Prepare the Area
Before starting the cleaning process, consider removing any items from walls or shelves to prevent them from getting dusty during the cleaning process. You may also consider covering furniture with sheets or plastic to protect them from dust as well.
2. Dry Dusting with Microfiber Cloths
Begin by dry dusting the walls and ceilings using a clean and dry microfiber cloth. Gently wipe the surfaces, starting from the top and working your way down. Microfiber cloths effectively capture and hold onto dust without spreading unwanted materials around.
3. Use an Extension Pole
For high ceilings or hard-to-reach areas, attach the microfiber cloth to an extension pole. This step allows you to clean elevated surfaces without the need for a ladder, ensuring safety and convenience.
4. Regularly Shake Out the Cloth
Periodically shake out the microfiber cloth outside to remove trapped dust. This effort will help maintain the cloth's effectiveness throughout the cleaning process.
5. Dampen the Microfiber Cloth for Stubborn Dust
If there are stubborn dust spots, lightly dampen the microfiber cloth with water. Ensure it's not too wet, as excessive moisture can damage walls and ceilings. Wipe the affected areas gently, then follow up with a dry microfiber cloth to prevent streaks.
6. Rotate and Flip the Cloth
As you clean, rotate and flip the microfiber cloth to use different sections. This step ensures you always work with a clean surface to maximize the cloth's dust-collecting capabilities.
7. Microfiber Dusters for Irregular Surfaces
Microfiber dusters with long, flexible heads or handles are ideal for cleaning irregular surfaces, intricate molding, or textured ceilings. Our industry-leading products can help you reach into crevices and corners, providing a thorough cleaning.
8. Wash and Reuse
Microfiber cloths are reusable, making them an eco-friendly option. After use, wash the cloths in cold water without fabric softeners, as softeners can reduce their dust-attracting ability. Air-dry or tumble-dry on a low setting.

By incorporating these steps into your cleaning routine, you can effectively eliminate dust from walls and ceilings while preserving the integrity of surfaces. The use of microfiber cloths and dusters not only ensures a thorough cleaning process but also makes maintenance more manageable and eco-friendly.
