How Often To Dust Your Home. "Ideally, you should try to dust at least once every week," says Amanda. "For me personally, it's something that I try to do every week, but I've found that if you can dust your home once every other week at best, you'll keep your home maintained."

Remove heavy dust from ceiling, floor or appliance vents with a soft-brush vacuum attachment or electrostatic mop, like the Swiffer Sweeper). (You can also use a long-handled microfiber duster.) Then, dampen a microfiber cloth and wipe the surface.
