Cleaning fan shares DIY 'miracle' spray that keeps dust away for weeks

Dusting is one of those chores that feels like it's never-ending.

It seems like as soon as you finished the job, a thin veil of dust appears on everything you've just cleaned.

Thankfully, one woman has revealed how to "eliminate" it once and for all.

Whitney White often shares DIY tutorials on her TikTok account ( @whitneykailyn ), from laundry soap to glass cleaning, where she has 16,000 followers.

She shared the recipe for her dust 'eliminating' spray in a video that's since gone viral, being viewed more than 2.2 million times.

The clip is captioned: "The BEST DIY dusting spray to polish and eliminate dust longer".

To make the spray, Whitney combines one cup of water, a quarter of a cup of white vinegar, two tablespoons of olive oil and 10 to 15 drops of lemon essential oil.

She then sprays it onto any surface and buffs in using a cloth - and she swears she doesn't have to dust again for another two weeks.

"The oils polish and keep dust away for longer periods of time," she promises.

And what's better is that it's completely natural and it makes your home smell incredible.

Since being posted, the video has been liked almost 160,000 times and has received 900 comments from people who praised how well it worked.

One person said: "I was hesitant about this solution really working but I gave it a chance and holy cr*p... it's a miracle solution. You should patent his lol."

Another wrote: "Tried this... It works so good. I hardly saw any dust after a week."

A third commented: "Never tried with olive oil but now I am going to!"

Someone else put: "I need to try this. I feel like I have to dust every day."

Others were surprised by the olive oil element, writing: "You stopped me at olive oil. Really? What a great idea."

Whitney reassured those wondering if the olive oil would leave an oily residue, saying: "Not if you only use a little bit, and you can use a slightly damp rag too to offset the oily substance."

Some viewers were concerned that the olive oil would go rancid, but Whitney said: "Olive oil combined with vinegar is good for 18 to 24 months."

She also said that any citrus oil would work in place of the lemon one she used.
