Engelse vertaling van Hygiene Plumeaus (Feather duster hygiene)
Despite the fact that feather dusters do not qualify for interior cleaning or other cleaning
applications, feather dusters are still regularly used for this purpose, also in the health service. While cleaning with a feather duster, dirt and the micro-organisms will collet in the feather duster. Due to mechanical action, it is conceivable that at a certain point during the cleaning process, the collected dust will partly be dislodged into the ambient air and onto cleaned surfaces due to mechanical action. Because the dislodged dirt will also release the micro-organisms from one location to another, the feather duster could actually be a source of contamination in this way.
