It is preferable to dust with water-dampened lint-free or untreated microfiber cloths that are neatly folded like a handkerchief to expose multiple sides for absorbing dust, or to use a vacuum cleaner with high-efficiency filters and proper dusting attachments. For tight spots, lambs wool or flexible microfiber dusters are helpful substitutes for feather dusters.
Minimise dust-capturing treatments that contain petroleum products, high VOCs, or solvents, and select a water-based treatment instead. Consider a vacuum cleaner fitted with a brush or hard floor attachment rather than a treated cloth or dust mop. If a dust mop is used, choose the widest mop possible (based on the size of the area and the physical abilities of the custodial worker) to optimise productivity.
