I have discarded my collection too and attempt to use natural fibre when possible. If you use an ostrich feather duster regularly you will never see dust again, they can be shaken outside and also washed in shampoo or mild detergent and do attract the dust particles without just moving them around. Also wonderful for people with allergies. I can testify to this.<br />Heather<br />Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12538853784772407511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7122163157306498894.post-66683360659930943652018-05-03T20:37:32.952+10:002018-05-03T20:37:32.952+10:00Oh boy - wet dusting .... an old memory returned w...Oh boy - wet dusting .... an old memory returned when reading that line. I now clearly recall my Nan sprinkling wet tea leaves out of the teapot all over the polished wooden floor before sweeping.

So now I have gone back to a quick dust with the static duster one week and microfiber cloth the next - however I've been doing a dry dust which was ok but I think I will try wet dusting again it seems to stay dust free for longer. I have a son who has an allergy to dust mites so I have to dust ever week but didn't realize the duster was just spreading the dust around.<br /><br />Thanks again for answering my question. And keep up the good work.<br /> Love the blog and congratulations on your daughters engagement.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7122163157306498894.post-61117286407602387212018-05-03T08:40:56.576+10:002018-05-03T08:40:56.576+10:00Hi Wendy

HOWEVER, I am blessed with a marine biologist son and now we learn that every time we wash microfibre or polar fleece, microscopic plastic fibres are released into the water and then eventually find their way into the ocean, killing fish and marine life. So all my microfibre cloths have now gone into landfill and I am back to using old cotton cloths for cleaning. The old ways are best!

In an effort to dust a little more often these days, I'm using a dry microfibre cloth, because it is quick and easy, but you are right damp dusting is the most effective method.Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07900993246451486017noreply@blogger.com
