Product Information
Full details
The Lakeland Flatmate is an essential cleaning accessory for homeowners looking to maintain cleanliness in notoriously difficult, narrow spaces. Designed for those who struggle to reach behind heavy radiators, picture frames, or underneath low-profile appliances, this tool offers a thin, flexible reach that conventional dusters simply cannot match. While it is highly effective at capturing dust and debris in tight gaps, users should note that the flat profile is intended for narrow clearances rather than general open-surface dusting.

FAQs
Can I wash the duster head?
Yes, it can be cleaned, but check the specific fabric care instructions for the duster material to ensure it lasts.
Is it safe to use behind a hot radiator?
It is recommended to turn off and allow the radiator to cool down completely before inserting the duster to prevent damage to the tool.
Can this reach under a standard oven?
Yes, its flat design is specifically made to slide under most standard appliances with low ground clearance.
Does the duster attract dust electrostatically?
The material is designed to grab and hold onto dust, making it highly effective for dry dusting tasks.
Can I use chemicals with this duster?
For most applications, water is sufficient, but if you must use a cleaning solution, ensure it is safe for the duster's fabric and the surface you are cleaning.
Troubleshooting
Duster head is saturated with dust
Shake the duster head outdoors or use a vacuum hose to suck the trapped dust out of the fibers.
Tool is too rigid to reach a specific angle
Apply gentle, gradual pressure to bend the wand, rather than forcing it in one quick motion.
Pros and Cons

- Highly flexible design contours to tight angles
- Suitable for both dry dusting and damp cleaning

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The Lakeland Flatmate requires no complex assembly; it is ready to use straight out of the packaging. When using the tool for damp cleaning, ensure the duster head is only slightly moistened rather than soaking wet to avoid dripping onto floors or walls. For maintenance, regularly shake off the accumulated dust after each dry use. If the duster becomes heavily soiled, clean it according to the fabric type of the head to ensure longevity. Store the duster in a cool, dry place and avoid bending the wand at extreme, sharp angles to maintain its structural integrity over time.
