Introduction

Dusting is a never-ending chore, but what if there were a simple trick to keep surfaces cleaner for longer? Recent tests show that fabric softener—yes, the same one you use in your laundry—can help repel dust and keep your home looking fresh for up to a week. Here’s what we discovered and how you can try it yourself.

Why Fabric Softener Works

Anti-static Properties: Fabric softeners reduce static electricity, which attracts dust particles.

Residue Barrier: A thin film left behind can make surfaces slightly slick, preventing dust from settling quickly.

Long-lasting Effect: Regular application can help maintain a cleaner look for several days.
