May I brush off dust and clean my furniture on Shabbos?

Yes. One may brush off dust and the like using a broom or standard brush. However, one should not clean furniture using a brush or cloth that has been manufactured specifically for this purpose. Likewise, some Poskim rule that one should not shine the furniture on Shabbos.
