Why is it better to remove dust from furniture with a wet cloth than with a dry one?

It is almost impossible to remove dust with a dry rag, because it only flies off the surface, and if the rag is wet, it will attract dust to itself. This is due to the fact that the water molecules that are in the rag attract dust molecules that are on the surface of the object. This is how the interaction between dust and a wet rag takes place, which is several times greater than between dust and a dry rag.
