Batting scrap tip
 

Cool! I will try this!

yep...going to try this one....ummm...maybe this will be a batting scrap day...make these mitts and maybe making dusting rags to fit on my swifter! Should work....why waste the smaller scraps of batting!

I made dusting rags to fit my swifter a few years ago. Not sure what site/instructions I used but this one looks good. I made mine out of just scraps of flannel & they work really well.

Great idea! I can make these for a holiday gift for a couple people I know.

osewme thank you for the link because it has a lot more neat ideas. I have bookmarked it

Great ideas!!

Dusting?!? This comes under the heading of “cleaning “. I think I’m allergic to that kind of activity. It makes me sweat, it hurts and makes me tired real quick. Gave the grandson the swifter. Told him to wipe around stuff. He pushed a dish full of buttons off the piano crashing on the floor. Nothing broken. I told him to keep on swinging it around. Maybe I’ll make him a new duster thing.

Thanks for the idea!

I have used scrap batting for my Swifer for a few years now and just keep a stack of them in and old Swifer container. Grab one when I need to dust any surface.Works well and I don't mind tossing them out when too dust filled or soiled to use any longer Good reminder that it is time to cut more! They work well when polishing silver too. No I don't do it often but the soft batting doesn't scratch the surface.

Great idea Tartan! That's something I have plenty of. Now I can quit cutting up old t-shirts for dusting.

I have used them. Not so good if there are any rough places where you dust, floor or furniture. Fibers stick to the rough area and leaves fibers behind.

yikes! I just used these batting tips by cutting some up and putting it on the bottom of my swifter. Used it under my bed which had not been dusted for a while. It is too hard to move the bed and use my vaccum under it. I got a lot of dust. too much to admit to! It worked great. Blushing I used three of my batting scraps in my bedroom. Don't tell anyone!

I threw a fit because someone turned the switch off to the ceiling fans and I could see how dusty they were. Dust bunnies were falling when they stopped. Now I have to clean them because I saw it. LOL The ceiling are too tall, I'll have to use a ladder, it's a big job. I have asked for them to be taken down ever since we bought the house. I'll give my husband one more asking to do it and then I'll call someone in to do it.

I bought one of those swifter dusters with the extended handle. And I also have a "Quickie" which has an extended handle and a microfiber covering with "fingers" on it like a rag dolls hair. This velcro's on and can be washed. The end of it is also bendable and can be shaped to angle of what you need. No ladders for me!

Oh, I also cut up some of batting and traced my hand on it like a mitten and stitched two pieces together. When I trimmed it to shape, I left about an inch beyond the tracing line and then cut fringe in it around the mitten. I used it to dust my old venetian blinds. Worked pretty good. Embaressed to tell you all that it got pretty dirty!

I use one of the extension fan blade dusters. It won't reach. unless I stand on a ladder though. My ceilings are very high in the living area. There are no lights attached to the fans so no bulb changing thank goodness. The inset lighting is reachable with a ladder and extension pole, thank goodness for son in law and grandsons for light changing. The bulbs seem to last several years thank goodness. Even the ones the electrician says will last 7 years don't. He had to eat his words on that.
