A domestic cleaner for a fabric surface comprises a rotable loop or cylinder A, e.g. of polyethylene, provided with respective means B and C at different points on its circumference for electrostatically charging and discharging its surface. In use, the charged portion is brought into contact with the substrate to be cleaned. Particles of dust etc adhering thereto are transported to a point E where they are removed by means such as a rotating brush or a second charged belt F. The particles may then be further transported by suction to a bag. IMAGE
