   Hi, Alexander!  Recently you wrote in a message to All:   
      
   ak>  I wanted to order in an American e-shop a thing for   
   ak>  dust removing. But I don't know what do you call it.   
      
   ak>  It is a light fluffy stick with a handle, covered

   ak>  a counterfeit) is electrified electrostatically. As   
   ak>  a result when I sweep it over the dusty surface all   
   ak>  dust clings to the thing's fibers. To remove the clung   
   ak>  dust I should put it out of my window and shake it.   
      
      
              Electrostatic duster?  We have one.  It's made of synthetic fibres   
   which become statically charged when you sweep them over a dusty surface.   
      
              When clothing made of such fibres is dried in a machine with other   
   clothing made of cotton, you may get "static cling".  Same principle....  :-)   
      
      
    BTW...   
      
              I'm using the UK spelling of "fibres" because as a Canadian I'm at   
   liberty to use the spelling I prefer, not because I'm correcting you....  ;-)
