I use a terry kitchen towel that I just dried my hand on. It gives just a little moisture for dust to stick to, then throw it in the wash. Swiffers are awesome for the shelves and the rides and such too.

I have a set of Swiffer Dusters just for Pops. And I wrote "POPS" on the box, too.

Not odd to me. I use Swiffers for all my dusting as I have two cats and I need both dust and cat hair removed.

Re: Has anybody done this?
I use a brush for heavy dust and then a micro fiber cloth to clean em up. If your display area accumalates a lot of dust, you could buy a dust filter, I bought one a while ago and a new one recently and theres little to no dust in the room, you could also use a ioniser as that would help take all the dust out of the air. I only do this because I keep high end statues and figures in the same display area, but POPs are collectibles too
A t-shirt works good for light dusting but if you want to keep everything pristine, any of the above options might help

I've never had a need for anything other than a Swiffer. Maybe I should be looking closer!

Yup, no odd here either! I have tried a cloth rag, cut up a towel, all of that but I find the swiffers work best too!

Re: Has anybody done this?
When I remove my pops from the shelves for random pics, to take to work, or to put on a table for the occasional dusting, I use whatever shirt I'm wearing to dust the pop, but a Swiffer duster from the dollar store for the shelves. I don't really see the need to have anything more complicated since the items and shelves are dustless once I am done.

Re: Has anybody done this?
I use old shirts to clean and think they work great. I normally dust the boxes with a duster and gently wipe the pop window with shirts.

If it's a figure that has a lot of detail then a large, soft paintbrush works very well!

I hear you. Usually when that happens, the swiffer I was using turns into the duster I use for everything else. Saves money!

What kind of dust filter do you use? I live in AZ so there's a lot of dust.

This one: https://www.amazon.co.uk/VonHaus-Purifi ... ust+filter
It's really good, sucks in a lot of dust from any room, my apartment is 2BR, and open plan, it works well in the main room and my bedroom
It's got an ioniser too which makes dust particles clog together and fall out of the air
It removes dust/pollen/dirt and smoke. I don't smoke a lot but sometimes I have to(medicinal stuff for my cancer) but my roommate does more often and she just puts this next to her and it filters all the smoke out

I've used shirts to dust. Works well.
