Coyuchi GOTS Certified Organic Reusable Paperless Towels
Just a little dampness on these GOTS certified organic cotton cloths from Coyuchi will ensure the dust is captured, rather than pushed around and re-suspended back into the air. GOTS certification means these start organic and are processed organically from start to finish.
Norwex OEKO TEX Microfiber Duster
This microfiber duster has OEKO TEX certification. Microfiber is made of polyester and polyamide, two plastic-based fabrics, but because it clings to dust so well when it’s dry, it’s a safer option with the OEKO TEX certification. Good for hard-to-reach places and blinds.
Sometimes you have to blow dust around before you clean it up. This electric air duster removes dust from keyboards, plants, fans, and other hard to reach places, without any of the safety issues that compressed gas containers present. Rechargeable, highly rated, super useful.
Amazon Basics OEKO TEX 100% Cotton Reusable Cleaning Rags
An affordable 24 pack of cotton cleaning rags with OEKO TEX certification. Not bad! A little bit of dampness ensures dust is captured, not re-suspended or pushed around.
