  Mel Brooks' idea is better. A giant vacuum cleaner to suck up all the dust!
  
  ok, might be a bit tricky making that work on the moon, where would you plug it in? :confused:

  On Earth, with a really long extension cord, of course.

  Yes, of course, an elegantly simple solution.
  
  just have to have a really strong spring to get the cable to coil up properly when you've finished, I know mine always gives up on the last 10% or so and having 25000 miles of cable dangling out of your cleaner would be untidy

  One problem: a vacuum cleaner isn't going to work on a planetoid with no atmosphere.

  well, you need to modify the existing vacuum-cleaner design, but not too extensively...
  just add an air-source that blows the dust into the vacuum-cleaner...
