I use it for the ceiling fan blades, high corners in the tray ceiling, etc. The store brands seem to work as well as the brand name. Throw it away when it looks brown. I have the larger microfiber for the hardwood floors and Bruce hardwood floor cleaner. I like it better than bona.
You are welcome.

That is what my wife uses for our hardwood floors.

That would be the hand held model.

Now we can see what the other two forum babes have to say when they check in.

Talk about over-complicating.

All that does us push dust under the refrigerator and stove.

It is a rather tedious task wiping each slat or blind with with a rag or feather duster. I've never tried using a "swifter", though. I have used a Swiffer, just the same-almost.

The best way to get dust out of complex surfaces is with a small paint brush and a small shop vac. Use the brush to sweep towards the running vacuum nozzle. I detail car dashboards and consoles that way- the brush gets into the crevices and the vacuum pulls the crud away.

You can use that technique on just about anything with an irregular surface.

Excellent advice, I concur. Thank you, Sir.
