I thought you were talking about a "tooth" brush attachment. LOL

No spring cleaning here. It is 12 below (F). I love my Swiffers, though! Gets in nooks and crannies, under electronics, over the top of ceiling fans, into cob-webbie corners and sky lights, behind, and under, fridges and freezers, behind, and under, washer and dryer ... Have one in my car for dash, console, and door panels at long red lights. Get a lot of laughs about that one.

Hmmm, you're not allowed to text while sitting at a stop light. I wonder if they can get you for dusting while driving? DWD? LOL!

No spring cleaning here, we are renovating an empty rental. But I use my vacuum for everything. Spill flour on the counter? Vac. Coffee bag sprung a leak in the freezer? Vac. My friend laughed at me at a rental, because he'd never seen anyone vacuum a refrigerator.

Having copd it just isnt healthy to dust with feathers, a rag, or anything else. You would be surprised at how much it just stirs the dust up. Putting it all airborne. My shark, and the little attachments are the best way.

It all depends on the brush. If it's natural animal hair, it's safe for me to use to dust wood and high gloss finishes. If it's cheap poly fibers or plastic, those brushes will eventually leave scratches and degrade the finish on wood and high gloss surfaces.

If the dust is built up over time, more than two weeks, the dust adheres to the surface and needs a dust cloth to break the surface tension between dust and surface. If you don't believe me, vacuum the furniture piece then wipe down the surface with a dark cloth.

My natural animal hair brushes. I have this thing about quality, even dusting brushes.

I bought a smaller hand-vac last year when I decided I wanted to clean my car upholstery of all those food crumbs left by the grandchildren. I find it works even better in the house, where I leave it now an d use it almost daily for a clump of cat hair here, some spilled cereal over there. I recently used it to dust behind my bedside-table.

What Michael said. I use a brush on occasion for getting the cobwebs off of baseboards, screens, and things like that. I still use a cloth and a solution of vinegar and water to wipe down baseboards to remove dirt.

I agree. I find it so much easier to dust with my vacuum than a cloth.

Vicsgirl, what kind of hand-held vac do you have? Is it uncomfortably noisy, like so many of them are?
