Wallpaper - Dusting
Remove dust periodically by brushing gently downward
from the ceiling with:
-Vacuum cleaner wall brush (does best job)
-or long handled soft brush
-or clean cloth tied around broom or mop: change cloth
when it gets soiled to prevent streaks
-if cobwebs, lift up with brush, as they may cause
streaks when brushed down
-if flocked paper, use only the vacuum dusting brush
attachment to clean, to prevent matting or shedding
-if ceiling is papered, dust that first
