Swiffer cloth works great to remove the fine dry dust from the crushed stone trails and similar - much better than paper towel
like riding the crushed stone trails - but the dust can be a turnoff - so much that we avoid the crushed stone trails during dry periods … prefer to ride those types of trails when damp / not long after rain - as opposed to when dry / dusty and then just about everything is covered with fine dust after a ride
