Aussie mum’s shares the unlikely Officeworks gadget that will clean dust & crumbs from your car console

‘OMG, world's tiniest dust buster, love it!’ - by Eliza Scanlan

Aussie mum’s shares the unlikely Officeworks gadget that will clean dust & crumbs from your car console

When it comes to cleaning your car, there are a couple of places that seem to attract dust, hairs and crumbs -  like your console, drink holders and car seat. 

But now a very unlikely gadget from Officeworks is setting social media on fire, after one Aussie mum shared how useful it can be when cleaning your car. 

Posting on the awesome Mums Who Clean Facebook page, mum Emily revealed how a nifty keyboard cleaner from Officeworks made her car spick and span in no time. 

Sharing a video of the Is Gift USB Desktop Vacuum in action, Emily wrote: It’s meant for a keyboard but 🤷‍♀️

‘I love it because it is pink and cute! It is great for a touch up in seats and console. It is from Officeworks’

Says Officeworks of the $16.95 gadget: ‘The vacuum is powered via a USB port and it comes with 2 different nozzles based on what you need to clean.

‘This vacuum is perfect for keeping your desk clean ... The filters are easy to clean and reusable.

‘It is powered via a 122 cm USB cable so you can plug it into your laptop or desktop to operate it.’

But instead of using it around your keyboard, you can plug it into your car’s USB port and use it around gearbox, drink holders and console. Emily’s hack got the big thumbs up from the Mums Who Clean members. 

‘I need one!’ said one. Added another: ‘OMG, world's tiniest dust buster, love it!’

Added a third: ‘I need it noooow!!! 🤩’
