What exactly do you mean by "dusting. I have them in my carpet on my furniture. How would I dust ?

Toward the bottom of the page there is a "Frequently Bought Together" heading. That lists "Pest Pistol - Used to Kill Bed Bugs - Insert Diatomaceous Earth" Here is the link: http://www.amazon.com/Pest-Pistol-Insert-Diatomaceous-Earth/dp/B002SW52CE/ref=pd_bxgy_hpc_text_y Simply use a table spoon to fill the "pistol" half-way full. Hold it upside down and practice gently squeezing it until you can consistently get a very fine dusting. Then cover every surface, and fill every crack with the dust. It is messy, but it eventually will work. If you have a heavy infestation, you may want to use a spray first for a quick kill of the ones you can easily find. (J T Eaton Bed Bug Spray, Pyrethrin, 1 gal.) I used about 3/4 gallon for my one bedroom apartment. I had to spray twice. For some reason this spray is very expensive on Amazon. I suggest that you Google it to save money. I also suggest that you use "Climbup Insect Interceptor Bed Bug Trap, 4ct" under the legs of your beds. Since you are putting them on carpet, get some 3" or 4" metal electric box covers and glue them to the bottom of the plastic or the bed's legs will punch through the bottom of the Interceptors. These do work and can stop the bed from getting reinfested if you follow the instructions. This process can get expensive and frustrating but they can be beat if you keep spraying and dusting. It took me six months because I was too casual about it at the start. However, they have been gone for months now.

Diatomaceous earth is a powder, like flour. When you use this product you want the furniture and floors to be covered with a fine layer of diatomaceous earth...which will appear like dust (like you have not dusted in a while). Then leave it to do its work as long as you can. We used a home made dispenser, an old baby formula can with a plastic lid. We poked a lot of holes in the lid and shook the powder out where it was needed. You can purchase dispensing items, one of which looks a bit like as pistol which is what the commenter was talking about. Hope that helps!

I use these for cleaning up dust, wood is a finer particulate. Might need a 3M 7500 half face piece respirator with a HEPA filter for sanding wood especially if you're sanding for long periods of time.

Yep. On hardwood they go all over. On carpet they definetly get tossed around, just not as far.

Turn off the brush and you can pick up dust and hair, etc. On your laminate floors. It also works well as a regular vacuum on rugs and carpets.

I have hardwood floors. No carpet. I dont really have to sweep at all unless i create an instant mess that i would just sweep up

Clean as best as you can while wet and the rest will have to wear off. There might be a chemical solution bit it could ruin your carpet.

I just snap it apart and into empty in the garbage. If it's really dusty I'll just wipe it with a rag. I'm sure you could probably wash it if you like. I use an old toothbrush to brush off the filter. That seems to work really well

I used them for wiping down my tv, some picture frames and my computer, then I went outside and clapped my hands together (with the gloves on;)) a few times and was able to wipe another table or two. It depends how dusty your things are, but I would say these aren't really designed for heavy dusting but rather the "awkward" objects.

In my experience, the 10 amps of power pull dust bunnies out from under dressers that I can't see or even know they are there. My dust bunnies consist of hair from both a Pomeranian dog and 2 cats and it gives me great satisfaction to know how clean my floor really is. Works really well for toe-kicks in the kitchen, too. Anything that is specifically targeted, like along edges and corners, wouldn't have a chance unless it's glued to the floor.

I know they recommend taking them off when you're done moving. I have ALWAYS left them under ALL of my furniture so I can move them when I want. The worst I have found is there will be dents and sometimes cracks in them but with the cost I just replace them. Mine last years though.

Used... Dirty or clean..?..? I'm not sure of the condition but, the question you pose is vague and the "LOOK" of the bristles will be as "PUFFED" or "FEATHERED" to allow the fine particles of floor dirt to be collected. I have enjoyed the proffinsioncey of the broom around cat litter pans because of the smaller amount dust it causes when servicing them. If you don't like the "look", send it back for inspection or refund, Amazon is great for that.

Hi Robert....I have a Siamese..so she leaves hair all over my furniture, but just picked it up to check and just saw a few....less than where she actually sits. Didn't notice dust, but it's under my desk...seems to be less hair than on regular furniture...doesn't seem to stick as easily to the foot cushion. I really love mine..very comfy.

I have not had the problem but they are used in Arizona where we have mostly dust and I just wipe them off. Used in place of a cane for balance purposes.

Hello Virginia, I moved before having to clean it but would use my vacuum brush on it periodically so the dust wouldn't build up. Sorry i couldn't be of more help.

I actually purchased this for my daughter and son-in-law; they have a 3-season porch where they smoke--cigars and cigarettes. I really can't say anything about dust but I do know it has significantly cut down on the smell. Sorry, I could not be of more help.

There's an upholstery brush and a tool for narrow areas. They fall off all the time while vacuuming. You also can't pick up large crumbs like cereal without using the wand/hose.

For the dog and or carpet, I dusted as in dusting with confectioner sugar, using an old salt shaker. The dog, I combed the hair against the growth to get it down to the skin. The carpet broom it into the carpet...wait a day or two, then vacuum. CAUTION: this is VERY fine and is hazard to breathe also, it does dry out the skin of the pet.
