2. Wet paper towel

That's how I do it. Or you can sweep, pull-back, sweep, pull-back, sweep, pull-back and even then you don't get it all.

3. easy solution

dampen a rag to pick up the line of dust and the dust is gone till you clean the rag then it comes back =perpetual motion.

8. There's no winning against the dog hair.

I've learned to ignore it. And maybe I've noticed that small line of dirt in the past but I don't care anymore.

The only thing that used to bother me was sticky but now that my kids are adults that doesn't happen too often any more. As little kids they started making their own PBJ sandwiches and everything was sticky for a few years.

10. I sweep it real slow saying "Thank you Jesus, calm the breeze down and make the dust go in the pan"

Works for me.

11. Fuck it, I just use the dust pan as a fan and let that little line of dirt live to fight another day

13. I just stopped looking at it and decided I have Whovilles in my house

Especially when the cat seems to be watching them.
