Along with every other thing in your house, cushions get dusty, too. Take your cushions out onto your deck on a warm, dry day. Bring along a tennis racket or even a length of board. Then, beat both sides of the cushion. The dust flies away in a gentle breeze. This is much more effective and takes less time than using your vacuum cleaner.
