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!
