Swiffer Duster, Blue, pack of 20

Product Information

That said, this little powerhouse isn't heavy or unwieldy. Weighing only 1.9 pounds, it's easy to maneuver for chores around the house, and comes with a momentary switch to hold and press for power that automatically turns off when the button is released. Microfiber is made from polyamide (nylon) and polyester and creates an electrostatic fabric that attracts dust. The dust is then trapped in the many tiny fibers until you use laundry detergent and water to flush them away. If you're concerned about washing microfibers, some laundry bags can help keep microplastic out of the wastewater.

The OXO Good Grips Microfiber Extendable Duster traps dust easily, extends and adjusts to reach high surfaces, and can be washed for years of reuse. A feather duster provides a classic way to clean on and around delicate items that have many nooks and crannies. The Aldwin Ostrich Feather Duster is a sturdy option with a long wooden handle. From top to bottom, the whole duster measures 16 inches. It felt nice and solid in my hand, and the longer handle made it easy to reach areas that are typically a bit difficult to get to, like behind decorations or the top of picture frames. The feathers are fluffy and soft, and they don't scratch surfaces.

SAFE ON WOOD

Because it's more powerful than a can of air, it's not only usable for your laptop and keyboard, but also small spots like fan openings, remote controls, and more. It comes with three nozzle attachments for different uses, making it an ultra versatile option. Some steps you can take to reduce dust in your home include washing bedding weekly, removing shoes at the door, changing air filters regularly, using an air purifier or dehumidifier brushing or grooming pets, and dusting each room from the top down. Are reusable dusters or disposable dusters better for removing dust?

Place your duster in the same area where you keep most of your cleaning tools—in the hall closet, underneath the bathroom or kitchen sink, in the garage, and so forth. We recommend using a nail, pushpin, or hook to hang your duster from the hole in its handle. If your duster is made from real feathers, you may want to store it with mothballs nearby to prevent an insect infestation. It's also smart to look at the handle of your duster. "We recommend finding a duster with a telescopic and bendable handle," says Peterson. "This will help reach high and low places that are often difficult to reach." Type Anyone who owns or rents should have at least one duster at their disposal. In a matter of days, even a clean surface accumulates dirt, pollen, dander, and other particles. Even if you can’t see the dust, it’s best to dust surfaces in high-traffic areas of your home on a weekly basis. Can I use a microfiber rag to dust around my home?Another way to dust your blinds is with them closed. "For slatted blinds, use the string to close them one way and dust, then close them the other way and repeat," says Peterson. "It's effective and a lot more efficient than trying to do one slat at a time." As a woman who is both short in stature and always watching expenditures, the OXO Good Grips Microfiber Extendable Duster is my duster of choice. My favorite thing is that after dusting, I can remove the head and toss it in the washer so I can start each dusting session with a clean duster.

Both reusable and disposable dusters are equally effective when it comes to removing dust, as they both are made of special fibers that grip dust easily and efficiently. Which product you should buy comes down to whether you prioritize cost versus ease of use. Reusable dusters are significantly cheaper in the long run, but must be washed regularly to maintain effectiveness. Disposable dusters don't need to be washed, since they're replaced after each use. However, the cost of purchasing disposable dusters adds up over time. Can you clean a duster?The three-pronged tool comes with five microfiber sleeves that can easily be slid on and off (plus, the sleeves are machine washable). The duster can be used to clean plastic, wood, or metal slats, and it's also great for air vents on your car or in your house (hello dirty air conditioner slats!). Washability: You need to be able to clean the dust out of your duster, whether it's by hand or in a washing machine. "Regular cleaning is necessary to maintain the duster's performance," said Karina Toner, operations manager at Spekless Cleaning. Before you choose a duster, decide how easily you want to be able to clean it and whether a machine-washable duster is a must-have for you. Additionally, consider single-use dusters if you don't want to deal with any hassle washing your duster.
