Dust brush. Can a duster replace a regular rag?

Dust settling on the surfaces of furniture, carpets, TV screens is the enemy of the inhabitants of big cities. Firstly, the layer of dust 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 coughs, asthma, allergies and other ailments. Scientists' calculations are amazing: up to 10 kg of dust passes through our apartments every year.

Why change a rag for a brush?

In foreign countries, housewives have long switched to new cleaning devices. Our women shy away from novelties a little and prefer an ordinary rag to a modern panicle. A wet or damp cloth leaves traces of streaks on the surface of the furniture, which are especially visible in the light. An ordinary brush quickly and easily sweeps away dust particles, but after half an hour you will find that they have settled again in the old place. Dust particles simply float in the air for a while, then land.

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

  1. speed of cleaning;
  2. minimum physical effort;
  3. penetrates into hard-to-reach places;
  4. special material of the villi "attracts" dust particles;
  5. the ability to handle fragile items.

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

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

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

Both materials have their disadvantages and advantages. Experts advise switching to the use of brushes only with artificial bristles. An antistatic whisk has the ability to electrify dust particles and attract them.

To make the work of maids and housewives as easy as possible, the developers have improved the outdated model. Now you can find an electric duster on the home appliance market, which helps save time and effort spent on collecting dust. However, the electrical device has not only advantages, but also disadvantages.

The design of such a device is simple: a handle made of plastic or other material with a ring at the end, a long pile of special material. To make the cleaning process more attractive, the brushes are made of bright rainbow colors. Most often, the "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 accustomed to collecting dust with a rag with smooth movements, the procedure for using a whisk is significantly different. The pile must be leaned against a vertical or horizontal surface and the handle must be rotated. Duster should be a kind of roller that collects dirt. If you begin to notice that the dust is no longer “sticky” to the pile, you need to wash the brush. Wet it over the bath and wait until it dries completely.

To enhance the anti-static properties, rub the pile on fur or artificial fabric.

An anti-static broom has three main advantages over a rag:

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

electric whisk

The design is not much different from the classic duster format. 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 there is a power button and speed control. The electric brush contains a set of 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 to select the desired speed. Before washing, do not forget to remove the nozzle with pile from the handle. To enhance the antistatic properties, the pile is advised to be rubbed against fur or synthetics. This device has only 2 disadvantages: the high price and the constant change of batteries.

Special panicles

When it comes to special whisks 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. Blind tongs. Outwardly, this device looks like a hair straightener, only the tips are covered with microfiber. These pliers are double sided. They are designed for cleaning dust on blinds and ventilation grilles.
  2. Antistatic brush. Reminds the tip of an ordinary panicle. Made of soft pile and designed to remove dust from small decorative elements on furniture.
  3. Floor brush. Designed to collect dirt and dust from the surface of tiles, linoleum or laminate.

Don't be afraid to experiment with household appliances. Many novelties will win you over. A dust collector is convenient, beautiful and inexpensive.

For our grandmothers, a rag was enough to clean up small litter. But there are drawbacks to this method. If you use a dry rag, dust particles will fly around the room and settle elsewhere. And that makes the process pointless. If you wet it, it will leave behind white stains.

Since then, technology has come a long way. Even without using household appliances, you can quickly and efficiently clean up your home.

What is the name of the dust brush

Pipidastr - such a funny name has a multi-colored brush (panicle) for brushing dust from various things and surfaces. She got the name because of a similar version in English - PPDuster.

The electric brush differs in the volume of the handle - it is much larger than the classic version of the whisk, as it contains batteries or an accumulator. This makes it heavier than the usual model. This is a minus of the device, since the hand of a person sweeping dust will get tired faster.

Love

The fight against dust in any home happens all the time, just like they did a wet cleaning, as it appears again. But it is impossible to stop in this process, because it is dust that provokes most diseases and creates not very comfortable living conditions. Therefore, whatever one may say, a dust brush is still needed, because with its help you can deal with the problem much faster and for longer. Why and how exactly, as well as what kind of dust brushes are, you will learn from this article.

Why do you need a brush?

You can remove dust with various devices - both special and improvised. The easiest option is to brush it off, but in this case it will not be removed, but will simply settle on other surfaces in your home.

Wiping with a damp cloth would not be the best way, since although it will be possible to remove most of the plaque on furniture and floors, often after such cleaning far from aesthetic white stains remain.

Using special brushes for cleaning dust, there is a chance to remove all plaque, and quite quickly and easily, as well as to prevent its rapid reappearance.

What are the brushes?

The range of such cleaning devices today can amaze the imagination of even the most advanced housewife. Tool manufacturers offer various models that differ in several ways:

  • appointment;
  • functionality.

Important! Of course, the price of a dust brush will also be an important factor, but most often it is fully justified by the effectiveness of the tool.

Types of brushes by purpose

For many, a dust brush is associated only with the device that we often see in films - a kind of multi-colored fluffy stick. By the way, if you are puzzled by the name of the dust brush, know that it has the name “Pipidastr”. Of course, you can arm yourself with this tool, but if used incorrectly, it will not be of any use.

Important! Pipidastra looks like a multi-colored fleecy mass on a stick. This tool is intended for brushing off dust. But before doing this, in order to avoid soaring dust in the air, it must be slightly electrified. The easiest way to do this is to put it in a plastic bag for a few seconds, rub it lightly. As soon as the villi become “on end”, they will attract small particles of debris to themselves. That is, the brush is ready for use. Then it's a matter of technique, just run it over different surfaces in your home.

The best solution is to buy several brushes, each of which you will use in a particular case. Now we’ll tell you what a dust brush can be.

Furniture

This type of cleaning tool is a fleecy brush, which must be endowed with electrostatic properties. Due to such features, with its help plaque is easily removed from smooth surfaces, as well as from polished furniture. When used, the dust is simply attracted to the pile.

shelf

Such a device will come in handy if you have your own library or at least several shelves have books or at least 1 cabinet is allocated for them.

Such a tool is made from pig bristles and goat hair. Thanks to this, plaque is removed after only one movement.

Forceps

Almost everyone in the house today has blinds, for several years they have remained “in trend”. A layer of dust often accumulates on both plastic and metal lamellas, and it is not very convenient to remove and wash the entire structure every week.

If you are puzzled by this topic, you will definitely need a dusting brush in the form of tongs. With its help, you literally in 5 minutes will put your protective blinds in full order.

Important! Such tools are just as convenient to use when caring for curtains.

Sickle

The crescent-shaped dust brush is designed to make it easier for you to remove dirt deposits in narrow gaps between furniture, in crevices, near household appliances and other items located in niches and wardrobes.

Panicle

You will not be able to do without such a tool if you are the guardian of perfect cleanliness in the house. This long-handled horsehair dusting brush is designed for quick and easy cleaning of dirt particles settling on ceilings, chandeliers and walls.

Important! Separately, we note that there are also brushes for carpets and floors. We will tell you below how best to choose them.

Types of brushes by functionality

All of the above types of cleaning equipment are far from the entire list of devices available on the modern market. Each manufacturer strives to make their products more convenient and efficient, so 2 noteworthy varieties have appeared relatively recently.

Anti-static dust brush

An anti-static dust brush is a very handy option. Due to the special synthetic fiber pile, dust and small debris are instantly attracted and do not fall, do not scatter throughout the room.

In addition to this factor, the advantages can be noted:

  • ease of handling;
  • durability;
  • cleanliness without damaging furniture materials.

Important! To clean such a brush, it is enough to rinse it under water.

Electric brush

If you decide to buy an electric brush, you are unlikely to regret your choice. From now on, cleaning will not be a compulsory duty for you, but an easy and pleasant pastime.

The principle of operation of such inventory is similar to the previous variety. But greater efficiency is achieved due to the presence of a built-in motor that runs on batteries. This ensures rapid rotation of the pile and accelerates the collection of small debris many times over.

The design device, as a rule, is made in such a way that the dust brush can quickly cope with even the most secluded and uncomfortable corners and crevices. Including such a tool perfectly cleans the keyboard of a laptop or a stationary PC.

Other advantages:

  • no need to use household chemicals, which is very important for people with allergies;
  • ease of cleaning even the most fragile items - due to the lightness of the pile;
  • multifunctionality - different models have a certain set of nozzles (short, long, flat, round).

Important! All these advantages determine the fact that an electric dust brush is a rather expensive pleasure. But it's worth it.

Choosing brushes for floors and carpets

Dust brushes can be used for more than just cleaning furniture and other interior items. They are also used for cleaning floors and carpets. In order not to damage the decorative finishes or pile of the flooring, consider these guidelines when choosing the right fixture.
