Try putting something heavy on it. Got a piece of 4x4" ceramic tile?
It doesn't matter if the lid doesn't completely close.

I use a Swiffer duster which you can buy at the supermarket or
drugstore. You can just buy the refills since, for this application,
you don't really need the plastic handles. I also cut them up into
several pieces and put the pieces in a resealable plastic bag. I use a
small piece to dust film before it goes in the scanner. Dust sticks to
them like a magnet. Hide them from your wife. If she finds out about
them yours will disappear.
