Remember my article Dust Everywhere? I had mentioned Ostrich Feather dusters being supposedly good for attracting dust versus Chicken Feather dusters which spread the dust around? Well, I googled around and surfed eBay and Flylady and I found an Australian company selling it!

I had to laugh though. Here I was googling on ebay USA for ostrich feather dusters that are sold in Australia - our almost next door neighbour! So silly right?  Of course, they are cheaper direct from Australia plus shipping is more reasonable too.

What's my verdict? Well, it definitely does not spread the dust around the way chicken feather dusters do but it does not attract dust well as I thought it would.  Perhaps if I weren't as sensitive, it would work very well. But as I am super sensitive to dust, my lips itch like crazy everytime I dust the house  As I still feel itchy after I use the ostrich duster, it means that the dust is still being stirred up onto the air even though I can't see it, and not caught as well as what I have read.

But having said that, I still love my ostrich feather duster! It is much easier to dust with this duster than a wet cloth or the microfibre glove my dh bought for me from NTUC. It is also great to use on areas that I have a lot of stuff. I can just jiggle the duster over them and all the dust is removed! I don't have to pick up the stuff one-by-one! And it is so fun to use, my children can't wait to help me dust! Now isn't that fun!

In case you are wondering what it looks like, you can take a look at this picture on the seller's eBay store or visit his website. I bought a 12" handled plastic duster - not shown. Please note : I do not get paid for this nor am I related to this company/person.  I just like the dusters! But I think I have to get those disposable masks to wear over my mouth when I dust! Lol!
