After dusting, the proper way to handle a feather duster involves cleaning and drying it to maintain its effectiveness and longevity.
Here's a breakdown of the recommended steps:
- Rinsing: Rinse the feather duster in clean water.
- Removing Excess Water: Gently squeeze out the excess water by hand.
- Towel Drying: Wrap the feathers in clean, dry towels until they are barely damp.
- Drying: Hang the duster upside down either outside or in a place that has good air circulation to fully dry it. This prevents mildew and ensures the duster is ready for its next use.
Following these steps, based on expert advice, will ensure your duster remains in good condition for future cleaning tasks.
