The Redecker South African Ostrich Feather Duster is listed by the manufacturer as being about 11-3/4 inches long. However, our research shows some folks have noticed their duster measuring closer to 10-1/4 inches, so there might be a little variation from one to another. As for the feathers themselves, they seem to be around 6-3/4 inches in diameter, which matches what the manufacturer says.

This duster is pretty compact, making it super convenient for those precise dusting jobs, especially around delicate items like glassware or small decorations. Plus, it's light enough that you can dust without worrying about knocking things over. The feathers can generate a bit of static, which is good for grabbing dust rather than just shifting it around. Research indicates that it actually works better than more traditional dusters.

Oh, and don't be surprised if there's a slight natural smell to the feathers at first—it's pretty normal and tends to go away after you use it a bit. To keep the duster in good shape, just shake it out after using it to clear the dust. If you want to clean it more thoroughly, you can wash the feathers in lukewarm water and let them air dry. That should help keep them looking good and working well.

If knowing the exact size matters a lot to you, it might be a good idea to check the size once you get it, just in case yours is slightly different. That way, you can be sure it fits your needs just right.
