Dust cleaning made easy
You probably have a miracle cure at home.
If you want to get rid of dust in the long term, you should have a miracle cure at home. We'll tell you what it is.
For many people, cleaning is not a pleasant task. Unfortunately, it's a must if you don't want to sink into the dirt at some point. You'll be happy when the annoying dusting, vacuuming or window cleaning can be done quickly and easily.
On the other hand, it shouldn't just be quick, the effect should ideally last for a long time so that it doesn't have to be cleaned again after a few days. So you're constantly looking for the ultimate cleaning tips. And we have actually found a miracle cure with which you can at least declare war on dust.
And the good thing about it: you probably already have it at home.
Use fabric softener for cleaning
Ok, let's leave out the discussion about whether fabric softener is good for washing clothes or not. Ultimately, opinions differ. But when cleaning, fabric softener is one of the miracle cures for dusting.
How does that work? Very easy. Add a small amount of fabric softener to the mopping water and use it to clean the surfaces. The purpose of the fabric softener is to prevent dirt or dust particles from settling again after a short time. You can do without additional cleaners.
Since I couldn't believe it myself, I had to try the fabric softener trick myself. Dust is my final opponent. And what can I say? It works. Of course, dust will settle on the surfaces again after a while. But it feels like it takes a lot longer.
I don't know whether this is just a coincidence because there was less dust in the house or whether the fabric softener actually has an anti-dust effect. I will definitely continue to use the fabric softener for now.

What else is fabric softener suitable for?
Fabric softener seems to be an all-rounder, because there are numerous other tips on the Internet about what else you can use it for in the household. Here are a few more cleaning tips with fabric softener:
Fabric softener as an air freshener
In most cases, fabric softeners contain additional fragrances. These are wonderful for freshening the air and making the apartment smell wonderful. Simply add a few drops of fabric softener to a spray bottle with some water. If you have bad smells, simply spray and enjoy the pleasant scent.
Fabric softener for polishing furniture
Fabric softener works wonderfully as a furniture polish. To do this, mix some water with fabric softener and carefully polish the furniture with it. It doesn't matter whether it is wooden or plastic furniture. It is important that you use a soft cloth and do not get it too wet. It's enough if it's moist.
Danger:You should not clean glass surfaces such as windows or mirrors with fabric softener. This leaves streaks and makes the windows look even dirtier.
