I bought this Jan 2008 and use it every week! I keep it in the glove box of my Mazda 3. My car has tan cloth interior but the console and other parts are black. I do not have a garage and have to park my car under a tree. Every time I get in my car my black dashboard has dust on it. I love that the duster has a little plastic holder. I just open the glove box; wipe down the dashboard and other parts, and it looks new! Most dusters, the dust does not stick to them and you are only moving the dust around and you are sneezing. Somehow the dust sticks to the duster. I have bad allergies and never sneeze while cleaning with this. Just about a month ago I decided to wash it in the kitchen sink with dish soap. It washed great! I let it air dry for 2 days and then placed it back in the bag and in the glove box it went! I like to use it sometimes when I am waiting at a red light since it is very quick to clean. I have had a few passengers remark they are surprised at how well it cleans and they wanted one. One family member even bought one like mine thinking it would work, however it is not as good as this brand. Owning it for 2 and half years and still using it, I got my moneys worth! I love this duster!
