The disposable towels so popular right now don't clean any better or faster, just more expensively. They don't list the chemicals contained in the towels and without that knowledge be cautious using them to dust wood furniture.
An old, clean cotton T-shirt works just fine to dust. Mist the T-shirt with water and go. Lift objects with one hand and dust with the other. It's a little awkward at first but much faster.
If you have carpal tunnel or arthritis in your hands, place a clean cotton tube sock over one hand, spritz with water and dust. Holding a cloth when your hands are sore can prove troubling. The sock allows you to clean lamps with ease as well.
Spray a clean white T-shirt with rubbing alcohol to clean TV and computer screens. Do not use old dryer sheets, disposable dust towels or cleansers of any kind on these sensitive surfaces.
Take care using paper towels or newspapers on any kind of glass or plastic. They are made from wood and the small wood slivers sometimes imbedded in them can scratch.
Visit your furniture store to find a polish to deep treat your wood furniture. Like humans, trees depend on moisture to live. That moisture must be replenished several times a year or cracking results.
