section of carpet next to the desk. (Remember, this is wall-to-
wall carpet.) This will keep the carpet pile from looking dusty.
Also, set any trash cans as close to the doorway as you can

Miniblinds
On the window are dusty miniature blinds.
Lower them to their full length and turn
the slats to the closed position so the blinds
curve away from you. By grasping the
string that runs through them, pull them
away from the window so you can reach
behind them with your feather duster.
Dust them using long back and forth strokes
at a slow speed so the duster can do more dust-catching than
dust-storming. Remember, stop the duster dead still at the end
of each stroke. Remove the dust collected after each stroke by
tapping the duster against your ankle near the floor. Now turn
the slats forward so the blind curves toward you. Dust the front
in the same long, slow back and forth motions.

The Family Room
This room is often full and well used. This makes it doubly
important that you follow the PMC method exactly.

The TV, the DVD Player, etc.
The TV is cleaned by using a duster on the back and Blue Juice
on the body (of the television of course) and screen. Only dust
the newer flatscreen TV’s. Use your feather duster on all
electronics. To remove fingerprints, spray Red Juice on your
cloth and wipe them off.
