What do you do with those flashy, brightly colored dusters when they aren’t so flashy anymore?  Did you know they can be washed? 

A simple process, using cold water and Woolite can help extend the life of these dusters for years.  To begin, you will need 3 pails of plain cold water, 1 bottle of Woolite and your vacuum cleaner.

1. Vacuum the duster                     2.  Prepare your buckets

• Vacuum off all loose dirt and dust

• Prepare 3 buckets of cold water, 2 rinse and 1 solution

• Rinse the dusters in plain cold water

• Wash the dusters in cold water and Woolite

• Rinse the dusters again in plain cold water ( note after 6-8 dusters change rinse water)

• Squeeze out excess water

• Lay flat or hang to dry

3. Rinse in cold water                     4. Wash in Woolite and cold water

5. Rinse again in cold water          6.  Hang or lay flat to dry

Now the dusters are ready to be used again
