Too Much Dust In Dashboard? Give It The (Compressed) Gas
Somerville, NJ (January 15, 2002) - Wally Seavey of Canaan, Maine, has an idea on dusting so good it has earned him more to dust: a new 27-inch television, DVD player, an executive stereo and even an electronic organizer.
Seavey details hard-to-clean automobile air vents using a commercial compressed-gas duster, called Dust-Off, invented in the 1970s so news photographers could safely clean negatives and camera equipment. The product now is mostly found in office-supply outlets, for use in cleaning computer equipment.
"This is just perfect timing for us here in Maine because during winter, we're all really couch potatoes," said Cathy Seavey, the Grand Prize winner's wife.
Manufacturer Falcon Safety Products of Somerville, N.J., last fall launched a 10-week contest to collect the 101 most creative uses for its product. Seavey's dusting advice also netted him a portable CD player in the first week of the contest, when he qualified for the top award.
Other winners suggested using the duster to dust off jewelry, grooves in wood-working projects, telescope mirrors, collectibles on shelves, scale models, cloth mini-blinds and even silk floral arrangements.
