This Wool Shop kit pairs the two duster sizes most households actually need: a 10-inch duster for tight-spot work (lamps, picture frames, electronics, kitchen shelves) and a 24-inch duster for reach work (ceiling fans, high shelves, hanging light fixtures, Venetian blinds). Both use the same lamb’s wool head and hardwood handle construction.
The lamb’s wool head is naturally rich in lanolin — the same waxy oil sheep produce to waterproof their fleece. Lanolin attracts dust electrostatically to the wool fibers rather than pushing dust around the way synthetic feather dusters and microfiber wands do. That’s the key difference between a working duster and a duster that just relocates dust to a slightly different shelf.
To maintain: shake the duster outdoors to release collected dust, then roll the handle between your palms to fluff the wool back to its full grabbing surface. If the wool gets excessively dirty, hand-wash in cool water with a wool-specific shampoo. Hardwood handles include a leather hanging thong so the dusters live on a peg by the cleaning supplies between uses. Lehman’s catalog selection for serious clean-quietly households.
