Product Review: Pledge Natural Beauty Anti-Dust Furniture Polish

Homemakers everywhere face a formidable enemy that is never completely vanquished: Dust! We have an arsenal of dusting cloths, brushes, feather dusters, specially treated dust cloths and other household aids to combat the accumulation of dust in our living space. How many of us have sat down comfortably, casually looked around the room only to see a dust film on our furniture. With a burst of energy directed at eliminating this ever present annoyance, we feverishly mount an attack on the dusty surfaces! On a recent visit to the local neighborhood supermarket, I was drawn to the Pledge Natural Beauty Furniture Polish which touted its anti-dust formula. Without much hesitation, I decided to purchase it and put it to the full test. I was pleasantly surprised that Pledge Natural Beauty anti -dust formula did indeed inhibit the accumulation of dust for a longer period of time than other products I had used.

As with most furniture cleaners, Pledge Anti-Dust Natural Beauty lemon scented Furniture Polish is easy to use. By thoroughly shaking the contents of the Pledge Anti-Dust Natural Beauty Furniture Polish and applying to a soft, clean cloth, you wipe the surface to attain a clean, shiny surface. Fingerprints, grime and smudges are easily removed. An alternate method of using the Pledge Anti-Dust Natural Beauty Furniture Polish is to spray the furniture polish approximately 8 inches from the surface and then wipe immediately with a soft cloth. If you are uncertain as to whether the surface can be safely polished, it is recommended that you first test an inconspicuous area to avoid damage to the surface.

As with all household cleaners, take caution to keep this product out of reach from children and pets. The directions also warn the consumer not to spray the polish on floors because it leaves a slippery film that can lead to falls.
