duster

Maid's fluffy tool

A duster is a cloth or brush for removing dust from surfaces.

In the American West, a duster was a long, light coat worn to protect clothing from trail dust—now mostly seen in period films.

A duster can also be a crop-dusting aircraft.

In baseball, a duster is a pitch thrown deliberately close to the batter, meant to make them back off the plate.
