Hi Mary!  Thanks for asking about swiffers.  I've tried them out and find
they are not as effective as a product I used when I was a director of
exhibitions and collections called "dust bunnies".  They were available from
a firm whose number was 1-800-hot hogs! (they were in the environmental
waste business).  Many conservators I knew recommended them.  If anyone has
a source for these, please let me know on or off-list.  Cheers!  Geri

Has anyone heard anything - good or bad - about using the new "static
electric" (swiffer, pledge grab-it) dust cloths on objects, plexi etc.?
