OXO Good Grips Long Reach Dusting System Review

Oxo Good Grips Long Reach Dusting System

If you are as serious about your cleaning as I am, you’re going to love the OXO ​Good Grips Extendable Duster.

While I prefer to use a vacuum whenever possible for dusting and cobwebs and such, there are times when a duster is necessary, especially for high, hard to reach areas. That’s when the OXO Extendable Duster comes in handy.

With its sturdy, stainless steel extension pole that goes from 3 to 8 feet in a jiffy, I can reach the cobwebs along a high ceiling, or in a tall stairwell, with ease.

I Use It To Clean:

  • ​Cobwebs
  • Ceiling fan blades
  • Tops of tall furniture like bookshelves, armoires, entertainment centers, etc.
  • Baseboards
  • Cabinet toe kicks
  • Vents and registers

​Here, take a look for yourself at what it can do!

​Have the OXO Dusting System? How do you use it? Share it in the comments below.

Key Features:

OXO Long Reach Duster Extension Pole

A simple twist-and-lock extension pole that extends up to 8 feet and collapses to 3 feet for compact storage.

OXO Long Reach Duster Adjustable, Pivoting Head

A fully adjustable, pivoting head that locks into multiple positions allowing you to clean at any angle.

OXO Long Reach Duster Quick Connect

A quick-connect attachment that makes changing from one head to another super quick and easy.

OXO Duster Interchangeable Heads

​3 Interchangeable Heads: 

  • Cobweb Duster for dust and cobwebs.
  • Microfiber Duster for cleaning all surfaces, nooks, and crannies.
  • Closed Loop Duster for cleaning the top and bottom of ceiling fan blades at the same time.
OXO Duster Storage

Easy and convenient storage. Simply collapse the handle and clip attachments to the Duster. Done.

​The Good and Bad of the OXO Good Grips ​Duster

​I really didn’t find anything to complain about with the OXO. It did exactly what I expected it to do, it made cleaning faster and easier, especially hard to reach areas.

OXO Duster Microfiber Head Machine Washable

​Cleaning of the heads is easy. I vacuum cobwebs and dust off the heads after each use and wash them periodically. The microfiber head is machine washable ​and the other two can be cleaned with warm water and a mild soap. Let them air dry and you’re good to go again.
 
The Duster costs $45 and is available at Amazon. ​You can also get an ​OXO microfiber ​duster refill​ when the time comes, but you shouldn’t need ​one for quite some time.

​Questions and Answers

Can the duster be used wet for cleaning?
​Yes, wetting the microfiber head works very well on baseboards and such. A damp head helps to keep the dust from being thrown into the air.
​Can you remove the extension pole and use it as a handheld duster?
​​No. If you need ​a handheld duster, you'll have to purchase that separately. ​OXO makes a good one of those, too.
​​How to wash OXO duster?
​​Dirty microfiber heads can be cleaned in the washing machine with warm water and regular laundry detergent. Never use fabric softener or bleach as they can damage the microfiber. Let it air dry, or tumble in dryer on the lowest heat setting.
​​​Can you clean ceiling fans with this duster?
​Yes. You can use the Closed Loop Dusting Attachment, which is specially designed for cleaning both the top and bottom of ceiling fan blades at the same time, or the microfiber duster attachment.
​​​​Does it work on Venetian blinds?
​It depends on the type of blinds you have. The duster head is a bit large and aggressive for aluminum mini blinds with small slats. But it works well on blinds with wider, thicker slats, and on wooden blinds and shutters.
​​​​​How do you lock ​the pole in the extended position?
​The OXO Duster has an easy "twist-and-lock" mechanism. Twist the pole counterclockwise to release it, extend it to the length you want and twist it clockwise to lock it in place.
​​​​​​Can it be used to clean floors?
​No. It is not designed for that and would most likely break the first time you tried. Best to buy a proper mop.

In Conclusion

I found the ​OXO Dusting System to be a ​nice addition to my cleaning arsenal and plan to get a second one for use outdoors (great for quick cobweb removal ​around the front entry, patio, roof overhangs), and in the garage.

How about you? ​Have you tried the ​OXO Dusting System? ​Got a favorite, or absolutely indispensable, cleaning tool you use around the house? ​I'd love to hear about it. Drop ​me a quick note in the comments section below​.

And, please, share this article if you found it useful. ​I'd really appreciate it.​

    I have not been able to get these poles to lock. The first set was replaced by Oxo. The second set was the bad as the first. After a couple of years, I decided to try the two extended reach bathroom scrubbers, hoping they had improved the locking mechanisms. Nope, just as bad. I keep thinking I must be doing something wrong or there would be more comments about the locking system. My husband can’t get them to lock either. I carefully (once again) followed the instructions in the article. The only place I can get them to lock is in the shortest reach. So much for extended reach. If it weren’t for not being able to get them to lock, the products are great.

    It seems this product has the same repeating problem this cleaning pole will not lock. Suppose to extend and lock to 52” but will not do as intend. Almost ready to return to Amazon as defective
