Product Information

This is a handheld dusting tool. If you want to use it to clean surfaces up high, you’ll need to be able to use a step stool or small ladder. Because it uses water to activate the cleaning foam, you’ll need to be careful and make sure that you only use it on surfaces that can get damp. Smaller places that are hard to get into, such as blinds and baseboards, are the best places to use this ridged cleaning sponge. It comes with three washable mop heads that attach to the bottom. Bonus: They can be removed and can withstand 300 washes each without any signs of wear. They use a hook and loop-style attachment that can come undone if you're really vigorous with your cleaning. But, the mop pads are 2 inches longer than the base, which helps them stay in position and reduces the chance that they'll catch on anything.

Dust accumulates on the plants too, which hinders their absorption of carbon dioxide. Use a hairdryer on a cold setting to blow away that dust and help your plants survive better. Using coffee filters and dryer sheets Using a spray: If using a spray, don’t go overboard. A little goes a long way, and too much could damage your surfaces.Many people swear by old cotton t-shirts for dusters. They are soft, won't scratch surfaces, and can be washed and reused. However, they don't trap the dust as well as microfiber unless you use a dusting spray or dampen the cotton slightly.

Dusting plants: While you’re dusting, give your plants a good clean. Plants need to be clean to photosynthesize properly, and a layer of dust is not helpful (5).

Clean the vents: Clean your air ducts and vents. Lots of dust gets trapped in here and then blown through the house. The set includes 12 towels in four assorted colors—pink, yellow, green, and blue. You can designate different colors for specific tasks, which makes for a more hygienic cleaning experience. For added convenience, these towels are machine washable, but they should not be exposed to heat. With high-quality stitching and reinforced edges, the manufacturer claims these towels can withstand hundreds of washes without unraveling or disintegrating. Some users say the cloths are thin and not as absorbent, which means they might also scratch extremely delicate surfaces, such as car paint. Maureen is guilty. She didn’t notice Diarmuid’s dusting technique until she was forced to sit and watch him, so the result couldn’t have been that bad. Diarmuid, buy one of those anti-static duster thingies.

Using the right type of duster for the task will make dusting easier and more effective. The best duster is one that will capture and trap the dust so it is not spread around as you work. Even though dusting is more fun with these tools, nobody wants to dust every few days. So how can you reduce dust at home? Air purifier: Invest in an air purifier. Air purifiers can remove dust from your home, along with other particles, which is excellent for people with allergies. Change bedding weekly: You should be cleaning your bedsheets weekly anyway, but doing so will also help minimize dust.

First, have you ever heard of dust mites? They’re tiny little bugs that can actually live in and feed on dust (3). Their waste is what triggers allergic reactions. Dust mites can especially infest your bed, worsening your allergies at night. Feather and wool dusters can be reused for many years but can scatter dust unless they are cleaned after every use. If you want a natural fiber duster, opt for a lambswool duster that can be hand-washed with a gentle soap. Recently I was dusting with a dry cloth, with Maureen instructing me from the sofa. She got very irritated when watching my technique. She nearly started doing the cleaning herself, even though the doctor has told her to rest and not put pressure on her foot. She was upset that I was dry-dusting the expensive wooden table and our bookshelves because she says I could scratch something. I don’t believe this to be true – how can a soft cloth chip or scratch varnished wood? It’s impossible. But I’ve decided I want an easy life, so in future I will refrain from doing that in front of her. Maureen also gets a bit annoyed when I ignore her, but if I’m doing a task, she has to let me get on with it. Finally, dust can damage your furniture and floors. Dust can scratch and scuff up your furniture, especially wooden pieces. So those hardwood floors and your antique desk? Dust them regularly. Types of Dusting Tools Handheld dusting tools are some of the easiest to use and most versatile.
