Where do you find light bulbs that last long enough to collect grime and dust? Mine burn out too quickly.

Sadly, mine get cleaned when the bulbs get changed.

That's a good reminder. I'm habitual about dusting everything including the tops of picture frames. The lights that always remind me to dust are the vanity lights in the bath rooms. There's only six in the small bath and fourteen in the big bathroom and today is a good day to give them a dusting!

Edit: All done with the light dusting and they sure needed it! Thanks for the tip, PJ!

don't have to worry about the grease and grime in my kitchen anymore...
Last week when the people came in to repair the living room ceiling
that had caved in, they also painted the LR, DR,Kitchen, bathroom...
when they were through the entire kitchen was oversprayed with champagne gold
paint including the light fixture AND bulb as well as the floor...
however, they failed to pull out the stove and fridge so the walls behind them
are still greasy white...everything has a lovely golden cast to it...AAAAGGGHHH

Even sadder, I usually don't clean mine even when I change the bulbs!...lol.

Anyway, thanks for the tip Pam. This is one of those chores that I frequently forget to do.
