Forget cheap synthetic dusters, brightly dyed chicken-feather dusters, or even regular ostrich feathers. They don’t work. … Shake out accumulated dust from the feathers by tapping the duster against your ankle every once in a while. The dust then settles to the floor, where you can later vacuum it away.

Do dusters just move dust around?

Put it off; regular dusting is so much easier. Use a feather duster. It only moves dust around (rather than trapping it).

Do electrostatic dusters really work?

The secret to why the Static Duster is so effective in attracting dust is found in the thousands of fine fiber “feathers” of the duster. When these “feathers” are “charged”, a powerful static electric charge is produced which attracts and holds dust just like a magnet.
