    Clean picture frames with compressed air. The dust in those scrolls and curlicues are impossible to clean with a dust rag. A cotton swab might work, but it involves untold hours of labor. With a can of compressed air, that dust is gone in a matter of seconds.

    Use compressed air in the corners of the floor. The person who has the chore of sweeping and mopping knows that getting dirt and dust out of the corners is no easy task. Spray some compressed air in those corners. The dust and dirt can then be swept into a dust pan.
