How to clean cobwebs

Cobwebs are a nuisance to clean, and are very common both on the inside and outside of your house. Since they stick to about anything they touch, you may find them sticking to other walls or trees if you don’t pull them down correctly.

However, all the trouble of cobwebs can be eliminated if you have the right cobweb duster.

If you don’t have a duster specifically for cobwebs, a microfiber duster will do or even stretching an old stocking over the head of a broom can take the cobwebs away.

To clean cobwebs:

To remove cobwebs from smooth surfaces:

1.       Use a microfiber duster.

2.       You may find it easier to use when the duster is wet, if the manufacturer says it can be wet.

3.       Remove all hanging ends to stop them returning quickly.

To remove cobwebs from textured surfaces:

1.       Use your vacuum hose as a cobweb remover as sometimes the cobweb remover can smear the walls.

2.       Remove all hanging ends to stop them returning quickly.

To remove cobwebs from exterior surfaces:

1.       Spray cobwebs from the garden hose on variable pressure on exterior surfaces such as windows, shrubbery, stucco and vinyl siding

2.       In the outside areas such as garages, sheds, carports, pergolas and outside decking, suck the corner cobwebs by using a vacuum since they are generally deeper and harder to clean out.

3.       Remove all hanging ends to stop them returning quickly.

Remember, cobwebs are made from spiders, to avoid spider bites try avoid direct contact with the webs.

Dave’s Tip:

Wipe cobweb broom or duster on the carpet to remove excess cobwebs from the cobweb broom. Vacuum the excess off the carpet.
