Dry dusting cloths - useless?

[IIOY]

I seem to have an unfortunately large collection of dry dusting cloths (Swiffer, Method, etc.). I find that I never use them because they push more dust around than they collect. Does anyone have methods for using them successfully? I'm inclined to toss them but hate the idea of throwing money away.

Before I switched to Ecloths (which I love!), I had a bunch of Swiffer dusters to use up. I disliked them for the same reason as you. I sprayed the duster or the area with some all purpose Pledge and it usually worked better than the dry duster.
