Doug, why would you go for motor driven? I have one of those motor driven ones.

I don't have to "dust my trains". Mother Nature puts enuff on 'em that I don't have to add to it. [:I]
After the big fires two years ago my wife bought a couple of the air purifiers that are shown on tv and they seem to work pretty good. If I were to buy though I think I would have opted for the ones that are motor driven as opposed to static driven.

Has anyone ever thought about investing in one of those air purifiers? The Sharper Image has one. Also, there is a company called Oreck that makes vacuum cleaners and also makes an air purifier. I hera both of them adveratise on the radio.If anyone has ever tried an air purifier, can you post something about how it worked?

Thanks,

George

I have a very old, soft bristled, 4" paint bru***hat I like very much. The problem is it doesn't get into those small places, and when I use it, it just puts the dust back into the air. I really should use it, and a smaller brush, in conjunction with a vacuum, to trap the dust, but I'm a bit lazy.

John

Sounds like you have the same problem as me. An old carpet pad deteriortaing through the floor boards. Yikes, what a mess. I use a soft paint brush and canned air. Last week before the holidays I actually took a damp sponge and wiped down the buildings, roads, vehicals and trains to really get the dust off. But for everyday cleaning it is the soft paintbrush and canned air.

Well, I have an old house & the dust falls through the cracks in the floor all the time, which is really the ceiling. I've put stuff up there to cover it, but I'm still spending most of my time dusting. I found this little, very soft brush, my wife had for make up. It seems to be the best thing I've run across yet !
Tell us what you use, if you would like to ! Thanks, John
OOPS, almost forgot to put the picture on !
