Has anyone used this yet? I have been seeing commercials for it and thought about trying it out.

No actually. I'm not one for adding waxy greasy substances to my furniture. Far as I can tell it ATTRACTS dust and grime.
A kitchen is hard to clean becuase of all the grease and oil, so to me to to add such substances to every surface in the room by way of heated air-fresheners or waxy dusting sprays is not ideal.

I've almost purchased it a couple of times to see how it performs. As with Togs, I have my doubts. My dedicated products for glass (Windex) and stainless steel (Weiman's) work well, and if you've ever used ss cleaner on glass or Windex on ss, you know the ugly outcome.
But...I've thought I'd hate products that have now become fixtures in my cleaning aresenal (Cascade Action-Pacs, for instance), so who's to say.
I have a coupon coming in the mail, so I'll probably try it and report back.

Yes Toggle, that stuff that has orange or whatever in it is the worst of offenders. That s*it NEVER dries, like for days and weeks on end. My roommate put it on the cabinets once, it was horrible.
I don't use anything on the furniture, just dust it. I love my formica coffee and end tables, so easy to keep clean.

I have real wood, fake wood, Formica, computers, typewriters, printers, etc, etc. Thought it would be convenient to have one product that I could use on all.
I use Pledge or Scott's Liquid Gold on the real and fake wood and on the Formica, typewriters, and computer equipment I use either Mean Green (Diluted) or glass cleaner.
Has anyone used the Endust for Electronics?

Scott's Liquid Gold?
ooh my maternal unit was big on that stuff. BEWARE it is a poisonous nasty pertroleum distillate.
ALSO another CAVEAT:
The rag ma-ma used self-combusted (as in: self-ignited) and caused a fire in our basement. Luckily it was basically a smouldering fire and no one got hurt. So do-z me-z a fay-vah, toss the rag out, if you do use the stuff, in an airtight metal cansiter and BEWARE!

I haven't used it in a while, actually I think I'm out. The guy that lived here before me, left about six small spay cans of it. There real pine paneling in my bedroom and I used for that. I sprayed a dust mop with it too dust the walls down. Every six months I use Murphy's Oil Soap on them. I love the smell of Murphy's. I like Old English furniture polish too.
When I through with the Scott's I wash the rags by hand in a bucket with hot water and Dawn, then let them air dry on the back porch. I'm on my last can of Behold furniture polish, once that's gone I'm going back to Lemon Pledge.

Steve, relax
I have used the wipes for years. I can assure you, it's just basically Windex without the ammonia. It works wonders on my tile countertops and shines everything amazingly. I would not though use it on any of my antique wood. for everything else, it's fantastic. Rest assured

I miss liquid JUBILEE!!
I use regular Pledge on car upholstery - both vinyl and leather - with great results.
Also spiffs up black plastic on motorcycles.

Endust for Electronics
I've used this a few times, and it works reasonably well regarding dust and static electricity. However, I find myself using other products for cleaning my electronic equipment. This does not mean that I am knocking this version of Endust.
The issue that I have with this product is that the smell is a little strong at close range, a big problem for me when used on my computer and keyboard.

Spray your air conditioner filters with this stuff, really helps them work better...you will be suprised!
Actually I've found that stuff like Pledge tends to reduce the accumulation of dust. Probably because the light oil film acts to reduce or eliminate static attraction to the dust in the air.
The oils also help to feed the finish, which is important for wood or painted objects.
Anybody want to know the major component of house dust?

Ewww. I have a problem with dog a cat hair. The stairwell going to the 2nd floor are always filled with pet hair in the corners. I can vacuum them, and in about a week or week and a half it's all right back again.
I've been using regular pledge on the computer tower and the plastic parts of the monitor and it seems to help keep the dust down a little. I would like to either find or make plastic dust covers for my printers. They seem to collect dust quicker than the rest of the computer stuff.

And dog dander too! When we had our electrostatic air filter installed in our a/c unit in three days the "clean" light came on. It had a ton of white dust on the filter spines. It took about a week before it slowed down. We have dogs, and they contributed to the mess too.

My dad does furniture refinishing as a "hobby." He has run into numerous pieces covered with years of waxy/oily residue from Pledge and other such dusting products. He recommends nothing stronger than a damp cloth.
As one who has spent more time than one wishes to remember polishing, am here to tell you there is no such thing as "feeding wood". It is something invented by advertising and marketing persons to get housewives to purchase polish in a can.
All good wood furniture is finished and or sealed with several layers of varnish and or wax, with newer pieces likely some sort of poly sealant. In such instances anything one applies over such surfaces is not going to penetrate that far if at all. What it will do is sit on the surface and over time build up.
In the case of older wood furniture, depending upon the finish a light coating of wax applied once every several years or so may be required, but nothing like the silicone, oil and wax laden sprays sold today.
Finally, the wood used in furniture is dead, so one cannot "feed" it anything. Oh it will respond to climate conditons and such, but then again so would a corpse or any former animate object that has ceased to live. Much like embalming, the finishing of wood seeks to preserve something that once was living, and whatever cleaning that is done has more to do with keeping dust, germs and whatever else that could damage the finish off, than feeding.
