Overhead Dusting Tools
- Telescopic vacuum wands allow you to use your cleaner's tools to their full potential. Attach the dusting brush to the telescopic wand, extend the wand and switch it on. You can now remove dust from ceiling corners, curtain poles and light fittings without having to stretch. Purchase an attachment with a curved connection and a large dusting surface, which is used to remove dust from surfaces such as the tops of shelving units and wardrobes.
- Dusters with microfiber cleaning heads are effective because microfiber is designed to trap dust and hold on to it until it is released, which is done by shaking the microfiber cleaning head outside or washing it. Microfiber dusting equipment attached to a telescopic handle is an effective way to remove dust from walls and ceilings. A light spray of water will make a microfiber dusting head an efficient means of damp dusting areas where grime can prove stubborn, such as the tops of kitchen cabinets.
- The traditional feather duster attached to a telescopic handle is an efficient method of removing dust from overhead surfaces. However, ensure that your feather duster is made from ostrich feathers. These feathers contain natural oils that draw dust off the surface being cleaned and trap it in fine feather barbs. The dust is removed when the duster is shaken outside. Feather dusters are often used when the object being cleaned has a lot of items on it. They have a large surface area but easily fit between objects.
- A lambswool duster attached to a telescopic handle is an effective way to remove dust from large, flat overhead areas, such as empty shelves and the tops of cabinets. Lambswool dusters have a very dense dusting head composed of fine crimped fibers and rough wool. These materials contain natural lanolin, which attracts dust and holds on to it until the duster is shaken outside.
