A lambswool duster lets you clean not only large items such as window blinds, but also small trinkets like statues and candles. But like other cleaning tools, a lambswool duster needs cleaning itself to remove caked-on dust, dirt and grime. An unclean lambswool duster only makes items messier. Clean your lambswool duster regularly, especially if your home or business is prone to large amounts of airborne dirt and dust.
