Editor's Note: Tom McNulty's articles and reviews poke fun at the stereotype of the housekeeping-challenged male, while offering useful tips for men - and women - everywhere.

The Swiffer® earned an instant spot in the Clean Like a Man Hall of Fame. And while this little hand-held spinoff doesn't clean any wet spills, it's a very nice dusting tool thanks to some unique features.

The Swiffer Duster® traps dust with a fluffy, elongated, fabric-fiber head that quickly cleans tabletops but also handles tight areas like the tops of shelved books, and between mini-blinds.

 

Best of all, its plastic handle telescopes out to three feet (like a golf ball retriever, which we love) and has an adjustable pivoting head, so you can dust hard-to-reach spots between appliances, your car's dashboard or console, and the tops of ceiling fan blades. Spray the head with a little Pledge® or Endust® to grab dust even better.
