Here at the House of Prince we are royalty by last name only, and our house can be considered a castle in the hearts of the people who live here! With two young boys and now a kitten among us, this castle is always in need of a little picking up and dusting.
Our Humble Castle
One of the ways my husband and I have dressed up our humble house is by carefully choosing our furniture. Most of it is designed to withstand the abuse of two little boys, but there are a few beloved pieces that anchor some of our rooms: specifically, our Mission-style dresser, the imported sofa table that now displays treasured family photos, and the bar I put together with my own two hands. Every time I look at them I smile – unless they are coated with dust!
And of course since I work at home I look at these items every day. I hate it when they get dusty so I am known for my “random acts of dusting.” I use Pledge® Lemon Clean Furniture Spray (purchased at my local Ralphs) because it doesn’t just come in handy for dusting – it also gets the wood nice and shiny and leaves behind that fresh Lemon Pledge® scent.
Pledge® Lemon Clean Furniture Spray can also be used on laminate, stainless steel, leather, marble, granite and plastic. Plus it features Allergens Trappers® to remove dust and up to 90% of the allergens found in dust.
Use Left-behind Socks For Random Acts of Dusting!
This is a great little trick that I tell my friends about: use the sad single sock left behind when one goes missing!
Save the Socks
Don’t throw those singletons away – save them for dusting! I also save socks that the kids reject as uncomfortable, or socks that have become too small for them, or too worn out or holey for me!
Mark Them Up
Mark them with a permanent marker or the kids will grab them and put them BACK in the laundry rotation, making me go crazy trying to match them up with a partner!
Station Your Stash
Stash a set of old socks with a can of Pledge® Lemon Clean Furniture Spray. Make a few of these sets and place them throughout your house where they can be in easy reach when you spot dust collecting on your pretty furniture. A simple spray and swipe will make you smile!
Pledge® is more than just a wood polish – you can use it for your everyday cleaning to bring out the beauty in your surroundings.
That’s why you got that lovely piece of furniture, right?

Okay, I LOVE the sock hack. I’d never thought of it but I have a drawer full of unmatched socks that now might bring me joy.
Because yes, a freshly dusted room brings me joy. Or at least makes me less likely to procrastinate since there’s one less chore to do.
I have a house full of wood, two kids, one husband and THREE dogs. So the dust is constant.
I already have Pledge in my kitchen cabinet but now I know I can use it on more than just wood. I never looked before.
Thanks, Kim. My socks were never happier.
