    I found this in a book i have called "talking dirty with the queen of clean". Everyone MUST own this book. it's awesome

    I found the directions to making your own dusting wipes, rather than buying them. It not only saves you money but it's awesome for the environment.

    Using your favorite cleaning product, make up a bucket of hot sudsy water. Add a couple of teaspoons of turpentine. Throw in some clean, cotton dust cloths, stir so that they get saturated and let them soak for 8 to 10 hours. After they have soaked, wring them out and air-dry them. as soon as they are dry they are ready to use. Mix together two cups of hot water and one cup of lemon oil. dip lintless cloths into the solution. Squeeze thoroughly and air-dry. Store in a covered metal can, like an old coffee can or something.
