Get ready and set your timer for 15 minutes. Today we are going to detail dust the living room. This probably won’t take the full 15 minutes, so you can try to beat the clock and see how long it takes you to detail dust. If you are doing a quick dusting each week, you should not have a lot to detail dust. Check your ceiling fan and around the baseboards. I am using the new Multi Wand from The FlyLady to help me detail clean in high or low places. It is flexible and can be bent to dust the top side of your fan blades on a ceiling fan. It is a new tool from her, and I love how versatile it is.
Zone Mission: Detail dust your living room.
