Dust‑busting home mixes: salt & conditioner or vinegar & olive oil

Cleaning experts share two inexpensive home recipes to keep dust from redepositing on furniture and other surfaces. One method, promoted by cleaning specialist Hong Jie, combines warm water, coarse salt and a small amount of hair conditioner. The conditioner reduces static electricity, while the salt aids in lifting particles, and the mixture can be applied with a microfiber cloth and then dried.

Another DIY approach mixes white vinegar, olive oil and a microfiber cloth, offering a cheap alternative for households with allergies or pets. Both recipes claim to trap dust longer than traditional feather dusters and improve indoor air quality without purchasing commercial products.
