dust busting nightmare

[Wally]

I keep one of those electrostatic air purifiers going in the room I use for loading my film holders. These things don't capture dust, they just remove the positive charge from the particles, wich tends to make the dust particles in the air stop floating around, and just fall to the floor. Obviously, the thing shouldn't be pointed at the work surface.

The problem I have is when I remove the film from the plastic sleeves, this seem to cause I load of static which attracts every spec of dust in the room! I'll have to have a look round for a large anti-static brush, anyone know where I can get one online in the UK?

Ilford used to make an orange antistatic cloth. Maybe it is still available?
