The swiffer dry dusters are great. They definitely "trap" much more than they "spread". You just have to be really careful around a cart / cantilever - nothing new there, and better if you can dismount it before a clean (another reason to love headshell’d arms).
A nice thin microfiber cloth (like those used for cleaning optical glass) is also handy for cleaning between very tight spaces - like between the 2 halves of the bottom platter (magnetic air gap) on my Clearaudio Master Innovation, rather than tearing down the whole table to get at it (which is a pain).
And occasionally, a lint roller’s tape-paper can come in handy - like on the "groove interface mat" of a SOTA.
I guess I’ve been lucky as far as static electricity. Never been much of an issue in my systems. There was one time I THOUGHT I had a problem, but it turned out to be something else entirely. I even got a humidifier and the Hudson arm brush in hopes they would help - but they had no effect, here.
Have a friend with the DS Audio ionizer tower who likes it, and it looks cool as hell, but....nah, I kind of hit my wall with crazy audiophile tweaks, and this sort of thing no longer appeals to me.
