Someone told me the other day you can use "fabric softener sheets" like Dawny or something to remove sawdust from wood. Ever heard of this? And will it leave a residue that would affect any future staining.....Thanks
buck notes:
Don't know about Downy, but Swiffer (?) cloths work pretty well.

aren't they a little more expensive? how much are swiffer sheets, tac cloth is only $1. I'd like to find something cheaper that works.
$6.59 for 32 sheets according to the box in our closet.

Richard Clements asks:
Old skivvies, drip in the finish you'll be using and wad them up a few times. Can'tg et much cheaper than rags and finish you already have on hand. Get them just short of really moist all through.

If you can't afford a dollar for a tack rag, you can make your own:
before or after taking them off, Charlie?
Why dip them in anything? Mine are moist enough already.
Uuuugh, I'm cringing just typing that, lol.

I switched to compressed air many years ago. It gets the dust out of porous wood grain like that found on Oak.
mac davis asks:
Your choice. But will your butt fit in all those tight corners?

Before or after adding the finish? ;-)
More serioulsy, how long does a swiffer sheet last? I get quite a bit of use out of a single 75 cent tack cloth by folding and re-folding as I go along.
no, Charlie.. I meant the "Get them just short of really moist all through." part....
