I'm sure you'll be unimpressed and/or disgusted, but I've been considering trying a Swiffer sheet for my filters (just the replacement sheet, not the broom, smartass!). It'd be easy to cut out the sizes I need from the cloth. In my case I have a rigid filter holder with clips around the edges, so the fact that the Swiffer sheet is cloth-like in rigidity (i.e. not at all) wouldn't matter. You could probably hack together some kind of rigid filter holder with an old metal coat-hanger though. Classy! A perfect match for your 10 cent fan bracket!

Anyway, the reason I haven't tried yet is that A) I'm lazy and B) the sheets seem a little thick, and might not allow for much airflow. Then again, they're cheap, and they're designed to trap dust, so I might give in and try someday. I've also been considering the thin gauze sold by the roll at the local drugstore. That stuff is thin enough I'm thinking it could really work. But that would involve going outside, so it's not at the top of my to-do list right now. ;)

look!
if i hear one more person call it a swifter...i don't even know...*tears hair out*

that Febreze would be a cheaper solution...

Dusty, eh? Guess those other Earth haven't yet invented this.

Swiffer. I used one in my bathroom today, really a cool product. Picked up everything.

Dude,

So if it's a 233, then I guess that you haven't dusted since mid-1997?

If you're worried about dusting with a damp cloth for fear of getting moisture on your hardware, you may want to take a look here for moisture free dusting, with a fresh lemon scent to boot.
