A feather duster is a cleaning tool used to remove dust and dirt from surfaces. It typically consists of a handle and a head made of feathers, often from birds like ostriches or geese. The soft feathers trap dust particles effectively, making it ideal for delicate items and hard-to-reach areas. Feather dusters are lightweight and easy to maneuver, making them popular for household cleaning. They can be used on furniture, shelves, and electronic devices without scratching surfaces. Regular cleaning and maintenance of the duster itself are essential to ensure its effectiveness and longevity.
