feather dusters

Fluffy cleaning wands

Feather dusters are cleaning tools with a handle attached to a cluster of feathers, used to brush dust from surfaces.

The soft feathers lift dust without scratching delicate objects: She ran the feather duster over the bookshelves.

Feather duster also names a type of marine worm with feathery tentacles that fan out from a tube.
