Will a dust pan replace a regular rag?

Dust settling on furniture surfaces, carpets, TV screens is the enemy of the inhabitants of big cities. Firstly, the dust layer is very noticeable, and the aesthetic appearance of the room suffers from this. Secondly, small dusty particles cause undeniable harm to the human body. Dust contributes to coughing, asthma, allergies and other ailments. The calculations of scientists are amazing: in a year, up to 10 kg of dust passes through our apartments.

Why change a rag to a brush?

In foreign countries, housewives have long switched to new cleaning appliances. Our women are a little shy of new products and prefer an ordinary rag to a modern whisk. A wet or wet rag leaves traces of stains on the furniture surface that are especially visible in the light. An ordinary brush sweeps dust particles quickly and easily, but after half an hour you will find that they again settled in the old place. Dusty particles just circle for a while in the air, then land.

Scientists have developed a special panicle called "Duster." This is an innovative device that helps “kill two birds with one stone”: it does not leave stains and collects dust. The advantages of panicles:

1. speed of cleaning;
2. minimum physical effort;
3. penetrates into inaccessible places;
4. special material of the fibers “attracts” dust particles;
5. the ability to handle fragile things.

We will tell you how to choose the right panicle and how to use it.

Types of Dust Brushes

According to the material from which the villi are made, panicles can be divided into 2 main groups:

• natural (sheep’s hair, horse hair, bird feathers);
• artificial (rubber, polypropylene, microfiber).

Both materials have their drawbacks and advantages. Experts advise switching to using brushes only with artificial nap. Antistatic panicle has the property of electrifying dust particles and attracting them.

To facilitate the work of maids and housewives, the developers improved the outdated model. Now in the market for household appliances you can find an electric whisk, which helps to save time and effort spent on dust collection. However, an electric device has not only advantages, but also disadvantages.

Antistatic panicle

The design of this device is simple: a handle made of plastic or other material with a ring on the end, a long pile of special material. To make the cleaning process more attractive, brushes are made of bright rainbow colors. Most often, a “fur coat” (pile) is made of polypropylene. This material has antistatic properties. In addition, such a brush is a real salvation for allergy sufferers.

If you are used to collecting dust with a rag in smooth movements, the procedure for using a panicle is significantly different. Pile should be leaned against a vertical or horizontal surface and rotate the handle. Duster should be a kind of roller collecting dirt. If you started to notice that the dust is not so “sticking” to the pile, you need to wash the brush. Dampen it over the bath and wait until it dries completely.

Tip

To enhance antistatic properties, rub the pile on fur or artificial fabric.

Antistatic panicle has three main advantages over a rag:

• the ability to remove dust not only from smooth, but also from rough and fabric surfaces;
• time saving;
• interest in cleaning.

Electric whisk

The design is not much different from the classic format of the duster. There is one difference: the handle is much wider because it contains batteries (about 4 pcs.).Accordingly, the weight of such a device is greater. On the handle is a power button and speed control. The electric brush contains several brushes of different lengths for cleaning all types of surfaces.

This device will help get rid of settled dust on a variety of surfaces and in the most inaccessible places:

• computer keyboard
• bookshelf;
• chandeliers, sconces, figurines, picture frames, decorative elements on wooden furniture;
• dishes;
• blinds, ventilation grilles.

You do not need to rotate the handle, just press a couple of buttons, choosing the desired speed mode. Before washing, do not forget to remove the nozzle with a pile from the handle. To enhance the antistatic properties, the pile is advised to rub on fur or synthetics. This device has only 2 minuses: high price and constant change of batteries.

Special panicles

When it comes to special corollas for cleaning, a bright fluffy whisk, which is often shown in foreign films, appears in the imagination of women. However, there are a number of special devices for certain types of cleaning.

1. Tongs for blinds. Externally, this device looks like a hair straightener, only the tips are covered with microfiber. Such forceps are double-sided. They are designed to remove dust on blinds and ventilation grilles.
2. Antistatic brush. Reminds a tip of a usual panicle. Made of soft pile and designed to remove dust from small elements of decor on furniture.
3. Floor brush. Designed to collect dirt and dust from the surface of tiles, linoleum or laminate.

Do not be afraid to experiment with household appliances. Many new items will conquer you. A dust pan for collecting dust is convenient, beautiful and inexpensive.
