Dust deposited on the surfaces of furniture, carpets, TV screens - the enemy of the inhabitants of large cities. First, the dust layer is very noticeable, and the aesthetic appearance of the room suffers. Secondly, small dust particles cause an undeniable harm to the human body. Dust contributes to the occurrence of cough, asthma, allergies and other ailments. The calculations of scientists are amazing: for a year through our apartments there is up to 10 kg of dust.

Why change a rag to a brush?

In foreign countries, housewives have long switched to new tools for cleaning. Our women a little shy away from the novelties and prefer the usual rag to a modern whisk. A wet or damp rag leaves marks on the furniture surface that are particularly visible in the light. The usual brush quickly and easily sweeps out dust particles, but after half an hour you will find that they again settled in the old place. Dusty particles just circle for a while in the air, then land.

Scientists have developed a special panicle called "daster."This is an innovative device that helps to "kill two birds with one stone": it does not leave a divorce and collects dust. Pros of panicle:

  1. speed of cleaning;
  2. minimum physical effort;
  3. penetrates into hard-to-reach places;
  4. special material of villi "attracts" specks;
  5. the ability to handle fragile things.

We will tell you how to choose the right whisk and how to use it.

Types of dust brushes

According to the material from which villi are made, panicles can be divided into 2 main groups:

  • natural( sheep wool, horse hair, feathers of birds);
  • artificial( rubber, polypropylene, microfiber).

Both materials have their disadvantages and advantages. Experts advise switching to the use of brushes only with artificial nap. Antistatic whisk has the property of electrifying dust particles and attracting them.

To maximize the work of housemaids and housewives, the developers have improved the outdated model. Now in the market of household appliances you can find an electric whisk, which helps to save time and effort spent on dust collection. However, the electric appliance has not only advantages, but also drawbacks.

Antistatic whisk

The design of this device is simple: a handle made of plastic or other material with a ringlet at the end, a long pile of special material. To make the cleaning process more attractive, the brushes are made of bright rainbow colors. Most often, the "fur coat"( pile) is made of polypropylene. This material has antistatic properties. In addition, such a brush is a real salvation for allergy sufferers.

If you are accustomed to collecting dust with a rag with smooth movements, the procedure for using a panicle is very different. The pile should be leant against a vertical or horizontal surface and rotate the handle. The duster must be a kind of roller that collects dirt. If you started to notice that the dust is no longer "sticking" to the nap, the brush should be washed. Dampen it over the bath and wait until it dries completely.

Advice

To enhance the antistatic properties rub the fleece on fur or artificial fabric.

Antistatic broom has three main advantages over a rag:

  • is able to remove dust from not only smooth, but also from rough and fabric surfaces;
  • saving time;
  • manifestation of interest in cleaning.

Electric whisk

The design is not much different from the classic duster format. There is one difference: the handle is much wider, because there are batteries in it( about 4 pcs.).Accordingly, the weight of such a device is greater. On the handle is a button to turn on and adjust the speed mode. The electric brush contains a set of several brushes of different lengths for cleaning all kinds of surfaces.

This device will help to get rid of the settled dust on a wide variety of surfaces and in the most inaccessible places:

  • computer keyboard;
  • bookshelf;
  • chandeliers, sconces, figurines, picture frames, decorative elements on wooden furniture;
  • tableware;
  • shutters, ventilation grilles.

You do not need to rotate the handle, just click on a couple of buttons, selecting the desired speed mode. Before washing, do not forget to remove the nozzle with the pile from the handle. To enhance the anti-static properties, the pile is advised to rub on fur or synthetic fibers. This device has only 2 minuses: a high price and a constant change of batteries.

Special panicles

When it comes to special cleaning wreaths, in the imagination of women there is a bright fluffy whisk that is often shown in foreign films. However, there are a number of special devices for certain types of cleaning.

  1. Tongs for blinds. Outwardly this device looks like a hair iron, only the tips are covered with a microfiber. Such forceps are two-sided. They are designed to clean the dust on the blinds and ventilation grilles.
  2. Anti-static brush. Reminiscent of the tip of the usual panicle. Made of soft nap and designed to remove dust from small decor elements on furniture.
