10 Best Dusters for Every Nook and Cranny

There aren’t too many cleaning products that are easier to use than the Swiffer. Simply pop a disposable dusting cloth onto the extendable 3-foot handle, and get to work. The synthetic fibers will pick up dust and allergens instantly! What makes the Swiffer stand out is its ability to trap things like hair, dust mites, pet dander, and more. Because its fibers lock particles in place, dust won’t end up back on the floor before you’re done cleaning. This duster also fits into tight spaces, so you can easily clean hard-to-reach places like corners and in between blinds.

Microfiber cloths can be real workhorses when it comes to cleaning. They’re super absorbent, and you can use them to wipe up stains, spills, grease, and more without it picking up odors. They’re also fantastic for dusting, because these non-abrasive cloths pick up small particles and hairs like they’re magnets. Best of all, you can wash them and reuse them—and each cloth should hold up through hundreds of washes. 

These ridged dusters are perfect for cleaning blinds, which are notoriously difficult to keep dust-free. You’re meant to use these odor-resistant, scratch-free dusters while damp, and when you’re done, just run it under water to get rid of the accumulated dust. Then, go on and continue cleaning. They’re also great for things like baseboards, vents, and stair railings.

Lambswool is a tried and true material for dusting because it repels water, naturally attracts dust, and retains its shape. Made from Australian Merino lambswool by a small, family-owned business in Missouri, this 24-inch duster is perfect for tough-reach spaces. It’s also beautifully crafted with a wooden handle and a leather hanging loop.

Walls can get really dusty. So if you’re not cleaning them, you’re allowing allergens to accumulate on some of the largest surfaces in your home. This CHOMP wall cleaner has an extendable pole that goes from 24 to 60 inches, which means it’ll be excellent for dusting walls, ceilings, and more. The microfiber insert captures dust in an instant. And you can also wash and reuse the insert over and over again, saving money and the environment.

If you’re someone who has a lot of picture frames, candles, glass figurines, and more around the house, you know how hard it can be to dust them. Make one wrong move and you could break an heirloom item. Enter this microfiber duster made for delicates. It’s fashioned to look like an old-school feather duster. Except you can pop off the head to this one and throw it right in the washer for easy maintenance.

O-Cedar is known for its popular wet mop, but the brand also makes an excellent duster for floors and baseboards, crafted with a mix of chenille and microfiber materials. And because chenille is a bit softer and thicker than traditional microfiber, both fibers work together to easily attract hair and dust. This machine-washable wonder also features a flexible head that you can use to clean baseboards without even moving the handle.

Dusting electronics is an oft-overlooked task, but it’s a great way to keep your office (and its expensive components) clean. This smart brush from OXO has two ends. One is a microfiber pad that rids screens of dust and fingerprints without scratching, and the other is a soft brush that sweeps away dust and debris. When it’s not in use, you can retract the brush and tuck it away into the included storage cover. Store it right inside your desk for easy access.

A flexible dusting wand is an essential tool when it comes to cleaning every nook and cranny of your home. It’s great for tackling tough-to-reach spaces, like corners, light fixtures, and underneath furniture. The Libman wand’s bendable, machine-washable head will make cleaning those tight spaces incredibly simple. 

Another tough-to-clean surface is the ceiling fan. Fans are high up and unusually shaped. And if you’re not dusting it frequently, grime can easily spread throughout the house. This duster from Extend-a-Reach can reach distances up to 20 feet with its telescopic pole. You can even bend it to clean the top and bottom of the ceiling fan blades at once. This will make a complicated job both quick and easy, no matter how high your ceilings are!
