When it comes to dusting, the faster and more efficiently we can take care of this chore, the better. Whether you suffer from allergies and need to make sure that your house is dust free at all times, or you wait until it’s possible to make dust angels on your coffee table, having a duster that picks up every particle of dust in one pass helps you clean quickly and get on with your day. For that reason, we only dust with microfiber dusters.
Microfiber dusters are ideal for getting rid of dust because of their unique makeup. Made using a blend of polyester and polyamide fibers, microfiber dusters act as a magnet and pull dust and debris towards them. Microfiber dusters are able to retrieve dust and debris from hard-to-reach areas in a way that cotton or feathered dusters cannot. Microfiber dusters also hang on to particles rather than simply push them around the surface. Because of their softness and malleability, microfiber dusters won’t scratch surfaces the way other dusters may.
Microfiber duster is the way to go, but when it comes to the style of duster that best suits your needs, there are several options. Check out a list of the best microfiber dusters below and say goodbye to those pesky dust bunnies for good.
1. Liumy Microfiber Dusters for Cleaning
The Liumy Microfiber Dusters for Cleaning provides a convenient answer to users who need help dusting hard-to-reach places in the home. The Liumy is designed with a telescopic extension pole handle that can be adjusted between 30 and 100 inches. Ideal for dusting tall ceilings and high ceiling fans, the Liumy eliminates the need to stand on chairs or ladders when dusting. The top of the microfiber duster can be removed and hand washed and the Liumy can be used when wet or dry. The microfiber duster is secured on to the pole using a silicone cap that keeps it in place and will not scratch furniture.
Pros: We like that the Liumy has a bendable head that makes it easy to dust the tops of cabinets, tall furniture pieces, picture frames and lighting fixtures.
Cons: The Liumy can be hand washed but is not safe for machine wash.
2. Relentless Drive Ultimate Car Duster
Keep your car looking new long after the “new car” smell has faded with the set of two dusters from Relentless Drive. Included in the set are an inside and an outside duster that are designed to grab dust without harming your dashboard or paint job. The smaller duster is perfect for grabbing dust and lint inside the car, including on the dashboard, in cup holders, and inside the door. The larger duster can help remove outside debris from the exterior of the car, keeping it clean between trips through the car wash. Both dusters are made with electrostatic microfiber chenille, which holds dust particles and ensures they won’t be left in or on the car. We like that the dusters come with a drawstring bag which makes it easy to store them in your garage or in the trunk of the car.
Pros: The dusters can be shaken in between uses to remove excess dust and hand washed when necessary.
Cons: The dusters are slightly heavy which can make them cumbersome to use and the interior duster is on the larger side, making it difficult to clean between air vents.
3. Casabella Microfiber Cloth
When it’s time to dust delicate items like china, picture frames and keepsakes, we recommend the Casabella Microfiber Cloth. Sold in sets of two and available in several vibrant colors, these cloths are gentle, multipurpose dusters that can be used on almost any surface in the home or car. The cloths are machine washable and can be reused multiple times.
Pros: The multipurpose cloths are not only great for dusting, but they can also be used wet and with soap for cleaning tough spills.
Cons: The Casabella have a high price tag.
