    Had plenty of flannel left over so I made a bright green one yesterday. Works great and it's in the laundry now. Needed to dust anyway.lol

    Thanks for sharing, great idea! You can also make the dry cloth for swiffer sweeper with terry cloth and elastic or a drawstring, then just toss into the wash!

    I would bend a metal coat hanger to simulate the duster and use a tie to attach it or even a snap. Will have to think on this one.

    Maybe mine is sewn too wide but I had trouble keeping mine on the handle, not just while I was shaking it out.
