Dustless Dust Cloths.

Dustless dust cloths, which will pick up the dust instead of merely stirring it up, can easily be made at home. Saturate a common dust cloth with kerosene and then hang it out in the open until dry. It is then ready for use. If shaken repeatedly this will continue to take up dust for a long time. When it no longer picks up all lint and dust, wash the cloth in hot suds, dry and treat as before.

Several pairs of old silk stockings sewed together on the machine and trimmed into an oblong or oval shape, then treated with kerosene, will make an excellent dusting cloth for furniture. Soft cotton stockings, cheese-cloth and the like, also serve well as dust cloths.
