After I dust whatever I choose, I clothespin a new dryer sheet over my swifter and re-dust. The dryer sheet helps to repel dust for long while. I have a furry menagerie and I have plenty of dust and fluff !!!
I also vacuum my popcorn ceilings, I have a soft brush attachment for my shark it works wonders !!
