Stucco adds a rustic look and helps hide ceiling imperfections.
A stucco ceiling has uneven surfaces that allow dust to collect in the ridges and grooves. If you let the dust accumulate for too long, the ceiling begins to look dirty. Even if you want to paint the ceiling, you still need to remove the dust. Once dusted, you can paint the ceiling or leave it as is. The organic matter in dust often provides food for mold and mildew growth, but if you remove the dust, these problems won't occur.
Instructions
1. Open the windows in the room and set up a fan to blow dust out the windows.
2. Set up a stepladder and dust the ceiling with a feather duster. The feathers remove the less-clingy dust particles and help loosen the clingy ones.
3. Bring a vacuum cleaner into the room and attach an extension tube to the end of the suction hose. Hook a dust brush attachment to the end of the extension tube.
4. Turn the vacuum on and vacuum the ceiling with the dust brush vacuum attachment. Move it back and forth, side-to-side and in circular patterns. The different directions will ensure the bristles remove dust from all of the uneven surface areas of the stucco.
