Hi, Ardith Hinton!   
   I read your message from 18.12.2015 08:42   
      
    ak>> I wanted to order in an American e-shop a thing for dust removing.   
    ak>> But I don't know what do you call it.   
      
    ak>> It is a light fluffy stick with a handle, covered with long   
    ak>> fibers. Every fiber (if the thing is not a counterfeit) is   
    ak>> electrified electrostatically. As a result when I sweep it over   
    ak>> the dusty surface all dust clings to the thing's fibers. To remove   
    ak>> the clung dust I should put it out of my window and shake it.   
      
    AH> Electrostatic duster? We have one. It's made of synthetic fibres   
    AH> which become statically charged when you sweep them over a dusty   
    AH> surface.   
      
    AH> When clothing made of such fibres is dried in a machine with other   
    AH> clothing made of cotton, you may get "static cling". Same   
    AH> principle....   
      
   When I was searching it Goggle showed me even mops for floor sweeping, for   
   cars.   
      
    AH> I'm using the UK spelling of "fibres" because as a Canadian I'm at   
    AH> liberty to use the spelling I prefer, not because I'm correcting   
    AH> you....   
      
   Yes, I use the American variant of spelling.   
      
   PS: But there is a word which I always write in British. "Trousers" instead of   
   "pants". ;-) Trousers cannot be mixed up with anything else.   
      
   Bye, Ardith!
