Feather dusters don't do much more than spread the dirt around. If you're using one on certain surfaces, it's time to consider other options. When hand-dusting, it's best to use a treated or electrostatic dust cloth, or a lambswool duster. The idea is to collect and hold the dust. A lambswool duster is better than a feather one, but either can send dust back into the air if used too vigorously. 3, record 2, English, - duster
