You've likely heard of the Scrub Daddy and the Damp Duster, which seriously make chores a breeze.

And while the small, smiley sponge in particular has found its way into many of our homes and become an instantly recognizable cleaning hit, the Scrub Daddy Damp Duster Microfiber Cloths available at Walmart, described as 'the Damp Duster’s big brother,' are just as clever and convenient.

Damp Duster Microfiber Cloths Make Dusting Easy

It's no secret that the majority of us find removing dust tedious, but according to satisfied shoppers, these '10/10' Scrub Daddy Damp Duster Microfiber Cloths available at Walmart make 'dusting so easy.'

When it comes to dusting mistakes to avoid, these cloths make it simple to swerve them, with a versatile design and unique material to effortlessly trap and lock dust, whether you're striving to get rid of dust in the bathroom, dust open shelves, or tackle those overlooked spots you're forgetting to dust.

They're also reusable, and use only water to deep clean your house, making them ideal if you're looking to be more sustainable at home, or prioritizing purchasing non-toxic cleaning supplies and cleaning green. After all, you certainly don't need harsh cleaning chemicals to clean well.

What's more, they're compressible, for dusting tight spaces that you're regular dusting cleaning tools can't reach, like sweeping blinds, bookshelves, lamps, and more. As another five-star reviewer puts it, they're an 'absolute necessity for dusting!'

Another shopper convincingly reports, 'Okay...where has this been all my life? This little towel seriously makes cleaning way less of a chore. It works on everything; dusty shelves, baseboards, mirrors, you name it, it grabs it. It's also reusable over and over again, which makes me feel way better than going through a million paper towels, and picks up dust like a magnet and doesn't just push it around – a big win.

'I've rinsed and reused it so many times, and it still looks brand new. The packaging is simple, compact, and easy to store – nothing fancy, but it gets the job done, and comes with two towels. Honestly, it's one of those small switches that actually makes your cleaning routine feel smarter.'

They're not the only ones, either. A third reviewer states, 'The Scrub Daddy Damp Duster Towel has become one of my favorite cleaning tools. It's super absorbent and picks up dust and dirt quickly, without pushing it around. I love how durable it is – I've reused it many times and it still holds up without tearing.

'It's also eco-friendly, since you can rinse it out and keep using it instead of wasting paper towels. The versatility is great too, I've used it on counters, furniture, blinds, and even car surfaces. It makes cleaning so much faster and easier, while leaving everything spotless.'

And if that's not enough, our resident 'queen of non-toxic living,' Chiana Dickson, is also a big fan.

'I'm always striving to make my home less toxic,' she says, 'and these are the ideal solution. As a huge lover of the original Damp Duster, I couldn't wait to try them. I love the way they're reusable – after all, microfiber cloths are a sustainable must-have according to professional cleaners – but what I appreciate most is their ability to reach every speck of dust from every nook and cranny.

'My house has never looked cleaner, and now dusting is a chore I actually enjoy, which I never thought I'd say.'

Chiana has delved into the many ways to use Damp Dusters. For maximum impact with minimal effort, pair them with a homemade cleaning spray to repel dust – all you'll need is a spray bottle, some olive oil, vinegar, dishwashing liquid, and a few drops of whichever essential oil you prefer.

Then, you can enjoy a dust-free, fresh, and great-smelling home for longer, without the need for any harsh chemicals or lots of repeated, tedious dusting.

What to Shop


The most important spots to keep an eye on are the places hidden dust builds up fast, like ceiling fixtures, doors, TVs and baseboards.
