An old cotton T shirt or an old diaper have worked quite well for us for 40 plus years and for both our mothers for longer than that. Any of those sprays have a propellant in them that is hazardous to your environment, although a pump spray may be acceptable depending what the product is. Check the ingrediants of those "aerosal cooking sprays" to see what really is in them, many are not that good for you.

Hi Artmom, Tracey and Meta, Thanks for the replies. So far I have tried the Pledge and I liked it. It is good for reaching areas that are hard to reach, such as narrow spaces or the second shelf of a table. I didn't use the spray, I just liked the shape of the Pledge duster. It seemed to capture the dust well. Not sure if I will try the Swiffer. Meta, I usually use a microfiber cloth. I like it better on surfaces that are easy to reach, since you have the most control. However, the duster is good for hard to reach places. Thanks Lynne

This is so funny .... I just finished dusting my LR and FR with my microfiber cloths. I use 2 cloths, one just dampened with plain water and a dry one. I wipe my furniture down well with the damp one and then dry it thoroughly before I replace my lamps and stuff. If I feel the cloth gets too dirty, I just rinse it in the sink. I try to wash a load of microfibers by themselves, but many times they end up in the regular wash. I DO make sure they don't go in the dryer with other stuff -- I either fold them over hangers to dry or just toss them in by themselves. They dry in a jiffy. It is so nice to feel like I'm removing the dust rather than just rearranging or even polishing the dust onto the table.

i used the swiffer duster a few times it was ok but i will say it was great for reaching what i couldnt, i also had the swiffer mop the one you put the pads in it was great for small jobs but for big i still ended up using a towel to dry. i now use those things, they are blue, like paper towels, only way thicker and they are reusable, you can buy them in an auto supply store for like 6.00 (it was 4 last year..inflation) and they work super. i think theres 300 in a roll. they last forever and clean and dry real fast so youre not throwing them out like a regular paper towel. oh and they fit in the swiffer mops too.
