If you have beloved antique linens such as quilts and pillows from Grandma that are too fragile to be washed, you can easily rid them of dust if you stretch a clean pantyhose leg over the opening of the bush attachment on your vacuum cleaner. Secure with a rubber band. With the vacuum set on low, move this around the heirloom carefully by lifting not dragging. The dirt will flow through the nylon but the fabric will be protected.
