What is Dusting Mitt made from?
Dusting Mitt is 100% polyester in a chenille weave. Fine filaments are spun into soft, high-pile tufts (the signature "finger fibres") that maximise surface area for dust collection. The unique loop design lifts dust and debris without dispersing it back into the air, which is why it's a favourite for asthma and allergy-prone households.
Fabric
100% polyester in a chenille "finger fibre" weave. Fine filaments are spun into soft, high-pile tufts that maximise surface area. Machine washable and reusable for hundreds of cleans.
Why polyester chenille
The fibres grab dust through static attraction and hold it in the loops instead of kicking it back into the air. Polyester stays lightweight even when loaded, dries quickly after washing, and doesn't shed lint.
Is Dusting Mitt safe on delicate surfaces?
Yes. The soft chenille finger fibres won't scratch wood, glass, screens, polished timber, or varnished finishes. It's safe on electronics, photo frames, blinds, skirting boards, decorative furniture, and pet bedding. No additional cleaner is needed. Dry use is best for dust pickup; avoid soaking the mitt.
✓ Wood & timber
Shelves, skirting, cabinetry, decorative furniture. Safe on varnished and polished timber finishes.
✓ Glass & screens
Photo frames, picture glass, TV screens, laptops, tablets. No fine scratches from the chenille tufts.
✓ Blinds & textiles
Venetian blinds, lampshades, pet bedding, soft furnishings. Pairs especially well with pet hair pickup.
How do I recycle Dusting Mitt?
Standard kerbside recycling generally doesn't accept polyester textiles, so don't put Dusting Mitt in the yellow bin. Extend its life with gentle machine washing and proper storage. When it's finally worn out, check local textile-recycling initiatives like dedicated clothing bins or council textile drop-offs in your area.
⚠ Not kerbside recyclable
Polyester textiles don't belong in standard recycling bins. For end-of-life disposal, look into local textile-recycling programs, council drop-off points, or charity textile bins. Many accept cleaning cloths and worn textiles for fibre recovery.
Bust dust with the swipe of your hand. Chenille finger fibres trap dust, dirt, and pet hair on shelves, blinds, screens, and furniture without scratching.
