These are Angela Brown's top 7 dusters for professional house cleaners for 2022. Her philosophy is why use two dusters when one will do? Each duster has multiple capabilities and can be used on various surfaces. Some dusters are easier to carry than others, and some are preferred because they are washable or disposable.  In Angela Brown's top 7 dusters you will find three used for maintenance cleaning (that is your weekly or bi-weekly cleaning.) You will also see the three dusters she prefers for deep cleaning. There is one duster that she recommends leaving at the customer's house to prevent cross-contamination between house to house.  While the most popular dusters remain constant year after year, those that rise to the top varies based on the job at hand.  Today's Ask a House Cleaner show on #dusting sponsor is #SavvyCleaner training and certification for house cleaners and maids.
