Dusting

Reusable dusting tools without added fragrance or chemical dusting treatments.

Removing settled dust is the goal, rather than spreading it or masking its smell.  We favor washable cotton, wool and other suitable fibers, with the actual fiber content identified.  Choose a method appropriate for the surface and clean the tool after use so it can keep collecting dust effectively.

Redecker Delta Horsehair Hand Brush Redecker Delta Horsehair Hand Brush LEATHER Why we recommend it: Horsehair bristles sweep crumbs and fine dust without the synthetic fibers used in many disposable dusting cloths.  The shaped beechwood handle gives this hand brush a comfortable grip, and the leather loop lets it hang clear of the bristles between uses.  The wood is oiled, not unfinished; wash the bristles gently when needed and hang the brush to dry. Materials: horsehair · beechwood · leather $32.99★ 4.7 · 1,000+ ratings View on Amazon
Redecker Split-Horsehair Hand Brush with Beechwood Handle, 30 cm Redecker Split-Horsehair Hand Brush with Beechwood Handle, 30 cm LEATHER Why we recommend it: Soft, split horsehair sweeps up fine dust and crumbs without synthetic bristles or disposable dusting sheets.  The broad head is useful for quick cleanups, and the oiled beechwood handle has a leather hanging loop.  Its slim grip is less comfortable for some hands, so this is better suited to short jobs than prolonged sweeping.

Redecker Double-Ended Goat-Hair and Bristle Dust Brush Redecker Double-Ended Goat-Hair and Bristle Dust Brush Why we recommend it: Two natural-bristle heads make this a useful alternative to disposable dusters: soft goat hair lifts loose dust, while the firmer pig bristles reach into seams and corners.  The reusable brush has an oiled beechwood handle and metal collars.  Choose the gentler end for delicate surfaces, and follow the surface manufacturer's care advice rather than assuming every finish can be brushed. Materials: goat hair · pig bristles · beechwood $56.99★ 4.5 · 65 ratings View on Amazon
Redecker Natural-Bristle Furniture Dust Brush Redecker Natural-Bristle Furniture Dust Brush LEATHER Why we recommend it: This compact brush works dust out of furniture joints and carved details with natural pig bristles rather than microfiber.  Use it dry for routine dusting instead of reaching for a scented spray.  Try the bristles on an inconspicuous area before brushing a delicate finish, then use the leather loop to hang it up with the bristles uncompressed. Materials: pig bristles · beechwood · leather $21.99★ 4.3 · 100+ ratings View on Amazon
