Dust magnets

    I don't want to give anyone the wrong impression. I'm not a fanatic about dusting. In fact, my motto is tha a woman with an immaculate home has a dull life. However, I'll pass along a little tip I learned recently.

    Not only is glass cleaner, or "blue juice" amongst cleaning enthusiasts, bad for keyboards and electronic parts, it attracts dust. So unless you really have a lot of electronic equipement and can afford special screen cleaners, use water on a soft cloth or paper towel to wipe TV screens and computer monitors. I have used alcohol before, because it evaporates quickly. But water is free. Don't soak your cloth, so you don't leave streaks.

    I've tried on a big screen TV and the monitor, and it works. No streaks, no dust, no fingerprints.
