Dust control for screen and dash

Hey, has anyone come up with a good solution to keep dust and junk off the screen and dash area? We are finding that the dust looks horrible and is almost impossible to keep clean.


ideas?

I bought a "makeup brush" at the drugstore, and I keep it in the glovebox. Every couple of days, I use it to brush the dust off the touch screen.

A piece of Swifer cloth does it - the static grabs the dust instead of spreading it around.

I keep a small clean microfiber cloth in my car to dust (or rather un-dust) the screen and dash when I start to see dust and loose particles. Along with some water or spit, I also use the cloth to clean up bird poop from the body when I find that I've been hit. Of course, after this use I replace it with another clean microfiber cloth.

If you can invent something that prevents dust, you would become an instant millionaire.

Keep the windows closed as much as possible and use the cars ventilation system. That way, only filtered air enters the car. Next, keep your carpets clean and vacuumed regularly to control the dust you track into the car.

The remaining dust, is, unfortunately coming from YOU. Your body is constantly exfoliating dead skin dust. Maybe you could have yourself sealed in plastic, or something similar, to prevent this.

Other than that, I haven't a clue. unfortunately, black plastic surfaces are going to attract and show dust.

I keep a microfiber cloth in my car always to wipe dust. Its going to get everywhere. Everything in the car has static cling so dust sticks everywhere like a magnet.
