Instead, you can clear off and reuse your lambswool duster by picking off dirt and grime by hand, or shaking it off outside.
Lambswool can be used to dust many different surfaces, including delicate surfaces and furniture. One secret? Wrap your lambswool with a dust cloth, treated with a tiny bit of mineral oil.
This gives you two advantages. Traditionally made with feathers from animals ranging from geese to ostriches and now often made from synthetic materials , feather dusters are big clumps of feathers, which you brush over a dusty surface.
While some feather dusters may attract and trap dust, the vast majority only serve to brush up dust and move it around. This can irritate the sinuses of people with allergies, and may just leave a mess for you to subsequently clean up with a vacuum or mop.
When might you use a feather duster? These cleaning tools are extremely light, and make minimal contact with a surface. Here at Sweeping Dimensions, we prefer microfiber or lambswool dusters , and use them for jobs all around Chicagoland. Microfiber is a reusable, sustainable material that is unmatched at picking up and locking in dust, without just scattering debris and allergens out into the air.
Microfiber can be washed, and is often available at a far lower price point than you might find lambswool, or even classic feather dusters. As we mentioned earlier, a great method is to use a lambswool duster, wrapped in a treated microfiber cloth. This gives you lots of reach and flexibility, plus the cleaning power of microfiber, all without having to get your lambswool material dirty over time. Many ostrich feather dusters can range in length from 10 to 28 inches.
Larger ostrich feather dusters are ideal for reaching dust near ceilings and other open areas. To get the best results when using an ostrich feather duster, you should pull the feathers along as you dust the surface using a steady, even stroke. You should then come to a dead stop and allow the dust to attract itself to the feathers by means of static electricity.
Then, you can use the ostrich feather duster to pick up the remaining dust. You can use the ostrich feather duster to remove dust build-up on things like faux greenery and even rustic wood or stone surfaces. You can find high-quality ostrich feather dusters online or in stores such as Home Depot , Walmart and others. Just be sure that when you are purchasing an ostrich feather duster that the feathers are soft and flexible.
Gently swish the feather duster around a few times, rinse it with warm water until the water is clear, and blot it dry with a soft towel. Place it in a vase or a jar to dry with the fluffy side up. You could also use a hair dryer on low and blow dry it for about 2 minutes. After all, feather dusters just move the dust around, right? I waited impatiently for my package to come which it did very quickly and opened it right when the mailman dropped it on the porch.
It is so pretty and so luxurious! I used it on my dresser which I had cleared off the last time we were in that zone. I have to confess I was saving the dust to give my new duster an acid test. Well, the duster stood the test!
My dresser looks great. And I had such fun that I went around the rest of the house too, in a surprisingly short amount of time! Then my 4 yr old DS had a turn. We had a ball! Can't detect your timezone. Set your zone. Copyright - FlyLady and Company, Inc.
