product longevity & cleaning? How do you clean this duster of the dust it's accumulated, and does it continue to work as well afterwards?

CARE INSTRUCTIONS ...Because of a special permanently baked in paraffin treatment, the dusters are made to provide years of effective service without the need for cleaning. Simply shake them out before and after each use. They will turn brown and black, but they are supposed to look that way. Washing the duster may destroy the wax treatment that makes them work so well, so we discourage it. THIS COMES FROM THE ORIGINAL CALIFORNIA CAR DUSTER WEBSITE!

The duster seems to work better as it gets more accumulation. After a really dirty job, I shake it out. I've never washed one in 6 years. I'm not certain what the manufacturer recommends.

I think that is true. I noticed the light stays the same, but I haven't bothered to get the manual out to find out if there is a way to reset it. I just clean it periodically and it has been fine. Still works really well and has significantly reduced the dust in my bedroom.

I got mine quite a while ago, and I dont remember anything about use of product. Mine isnt up to par either, I would Like to clean it, i think it needs it. I am thinking it must be one of those you must throw away after awhile. But no I do not have the manufactures contact information.

I am just getting ready to clean mine as well. In looking over the instructions it is suggested to use a pipe cleaner, or feather duster and/or a vacuum to get the loose dirt and dust out.

I have only had mine for two months. from the look of things, it will definitely collect dust, but the material is something you can clean with brush and water.

I shake it out. If there is anything left on it, then I just wipe with a wet paper towel. I have also vacuumed mine if the bag on the vacuum is ready to be changed. I have had mine since October and it shows no wear at all.

all you have do is remove the clam shell off.. use clorex wipes on the blades.. and inside the clam shell to remove the dust.. too difficult to use vaccum cleaner.. .. I do it about every 2 months to keep it going.. it works great for me so far. Ok? oh by the way, I keep this fan in living room... not in garage.. hope this issues helps u guys to clean out..

Gosh, I should ask you where you find the dust bags when you do. I haven't even taken mine out of the box yet. Glad you said it works great and sorry I am not much help.

I haven't see any trace of any type of dust---and after having it for 6 months, I just purchased another for a present---it does take bi-weekly cleaning, but well worth the effort

It does really well with fine dust like drywall. They demo it in one of their videos I believe. I think it comes down to how well your vacuum performs and how frequently you empty the dust bucket.

2 that i bought barely picked up dust. I trashed both since i didn't want to pass garbage to somebody else. I bought 2 Dewalt 18v XRP vacuums for a similar price.They both work great and batteries last much longer.

So long as you don't vacuum damp material that could permanently attach itself to the filter, you should be able to clean and re-use it for a time period comparable to any competitively priced product. After vacuuming drywall dust, I noticed a significant loss of vacuum performance. I removed the filter and cleaned it with compressed air. That solved the problem. I normally use the FB for dog hair and I've had no such performance problem, but I plan to clean the filter from time-to-time anyway. I prefer this unit over my heavier Hoover that has brushes and a BAG!!

I have the same item for the same amount of time and have had no issues with it. I clean it after each use just to make sure it doesn't get clogged up.

Hello Doreen, I use My other vacume cleaner (ShopVac or Rainbow water vacume) to suck out the fine dust out of the filter "on both sides of the filter" each time I empty the Neato ... I figure ill get about a year of use before I have to replace it ... Hope this helps . Ron

There are two ways that I keep this duster clean. I usually vacuum it to remove the dust. It also hand washes up very well.

yes I use a vacuum cleaner & suck all the dust back out, I do this after each use, seems to work for me!

Possibly try brushing the powder residue with a stiff brush, then vacuuming again. Several repeated efforts might help.
