I never use them, it's just as easy to clean dust off with a variety of other methods. I just use MS and a cloth and wipe the piece down. You could also blow the dust off (bad idea, IMHO, just puts the dust into the air) or use a shop vac and brush attachment to remove it. Even then, I think I'd o with a light rub down with MS and a cloth.
I started with absolutely nothing. Now, thanks to years of hard work, careful planning, and perseverance, I find I still have most of it left.

I use them religiously. Get the good ones. I tack with forced air. ... Tack Cloth

I came to a stop sign and a skanky tweaker chick in a tube top climbed out of the brush and propositioned me. She looked like she didn't have any teeth so I counted that as a plus.

I rarely use them for fear of leaving residue that will adversely affect the finish. All though most oil based finishes will probably not be a problem. I always just use a cloth dampened with which ever solvent is used to thin the finish I'm going to apply; after vacuuming first.
