My next door neighbor tells everyone not to touch shelves and knick nacks in her house. She swears that as long as there aren't any fingerprints in the dust, noone will know there's dust there. I like her philosophy!

My mom taught me to get my hands dripping wet and dry them on the rag by sort of tossing it back and fort. Do this a few times and you have a damp rag suitable for dusting. Nowadays I use a microfiber cloth.

All our knick-knacks are still in boxes from our move last January and I rather like them there.

It's funny you bring this up, this has been a topic of discussion for years in several different group settings I've been in… I have always 1. clean the ceiling fan blades, 2. vacuumed, 3. dusted. I'm not sure why, I think maybe because I grew up in Oklahoma with the windows open, with the wind blowing in the dust never really settled. So dusting was really an after thought.

I also live in a "clutter free" decor-less world. And I don't polish anything. Ever.
