If I had the budget for it, I wouldn't even have to stop to consider- I'd hire a maid to come clean. I hate dusting. Especially knick-knacks. I have a few things that are very sentimental, so some day I will have a china cabinet with glass and doors that shut and I read a clever tip that said to put thin weather-stripping around the door opening so no dust gets inside it EVER. *grin* I loathe chores.
