I've owned this for several years now and it does a really nice job of keeping my dash clean and dust free. The soft fibers are treated with wax to give the dash a nice shine and to collect dust without leaving a greasy feeling behind and it won't scratch the surface of your dash. You can use this on shutters, blinds, and appliances, but I only use it in my car. To clean it, just shake the dust off outdoors after each use and keep on using it. I do like that it comes with a plastic sleeve case to store it in and the compact size makes it easy to store it in the glove compartment for quick cleanings.
