Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsOver the Christmas holidays I experimented cleaning
the closet doors louvre windows with a covered paint scraper. It worked really well. So (using old wash rags) I made some fitted paint scraper gloves- one for wet and one for dry. They removed the dust in less than half the usual time. I am very pleased with myself.😀

(296,435 posts)Last year July I tried a covered spatula but it was a little too thick. Around Christmas I was cleaning up and ran into the paint scraper and thought this might be better for the job.
Someone can start a lil business with the scraper, gloves and cleaning material😀

(40,671 posts)I used to use a brush that came with a dust pan to clean them but the brush never got the dust that settled into the corners. Plus it was time consuming.
I did do something similar recently, attached a dust rag onto the end of a yard stick with rubber bands and then sprayed it with Pledge so I could clean under the antique grandfather clock that sits on a wood floor. You know how youre sitting in the room one day and you happen to see a ton of dust underneath something and you wonder if any of your guests have seen it too!
