How do you clean dust bunnies stuck on knotty pine wall paneling?
+6
The whole interior, walls and ceilings, is finished in knotty pine. It was not finished well and is rough. It doesn’t wipe off when dusted and Murphy’s oil soap doesn’t work. I thought there might be a better way than vacuuming ceilings and walls. Thanks everyone.

Why are they stuck? Did you just varnish the wall?
Q-tip, if u garnished, then tweezers n a paperclip.
Maybe a lint roller?
Vacuum with the brush tool from your vacuum.
use the upholstery brush on your vacuum cleaner ... or sweep with a stiff bristle brush/broom
Maybey tape a funnel to end of shop vac hose to create better suction or a brush attachment n get a bigger step ladder
Roughness is the character of knotty pine unless it has been covered in several coats of clear varnish or polyurethane. Had it in my basement when I lived in Baltimore City and loved it. Does yours have this clear finish? If it doesn't possibly you should put in the time and labor which will make the wood easier to clean and better looking.
Then vacuum with dusting brush attachment and wash down with Murphy's Oil Soap or Spic and Span. Knotty pine will last a lifetime if cared for properly.
