I always offer to help, but when the fussing about having to clean starts, I kindly ask her if she would like to do the brakes on her car, clean the horse stalls, feed and water the horses, mow the lawn, replace the tractor battery, etc,,,,,,, I would do house work in a minute.....LOL

Actually, dusting is a correct term since all you are really doing it stirring up the dust to allow it to settle (dust) somewhere else- thus you really are "dusting". Your household air filter does the "un-dusting".

I dont know about you, but I use a damp wrag with some pledge... it would be undusting as the dust sticks to the wrag. However when I was younger(8-10), I thought whipping the wrag in a circle near a surface was the best way because it was the fastest. Mom never saw that, I knew I would get in trouble.

It's my pot and I'll stir it if I want to. If you're not careful, I'll stir your's as well!

But if you recall, Chaikwa uses a hose and a blow gun. Maybe if he disconnected the dryer on his air compressor, there might be enough moisture in the air to settle a bit of the dust but I doubt it.

and made her lay in the driveway last night and work on a junk car.

she was HAPPY to do dishes after that.
