Review: Swiffer Duster

A couple of months ago, I signed up saying I would love to try the new Swiffer Duster and in return I would be happy to do a review of it on my blog.

Wouldn't you know that my Swiffer package arrived two days before we left for Illinois and literally a day after I had finished cleaning the house so it would be clean when I returned home....

So, I had to wait and I could only hope that the Swiffer people who had sent me this starter kit wouldn't be too peeved with me.

So here I am...a month later and you would not believe how much dust can accumulate in a house that is unoccupied in one months time...

Today, I got out my little Swiffer kit. It was very easy to put together. I enjoyed fluffing out my little duster and then I went to work. It is easy peasy!

I have often looked at dusters at the store and wondered how they would do, you the fluffy kinds that French Maids used...but it always seemed to me that all they did was move the dust around...and how did you get the dust of off them? Anyway...I have steered clear of them. Instead, I use a rag and spray and wash the rag. But this has its problems. I can't reach all the spots I need to. It is hard to dust computers this way. And I have to be careful where I spray because the dust spray makes the wooden floor very slippery.

Anyway, I am a convert. I dusted my house with my Swiffer duster. It took less time, collected all of the dust and I could reach those hard to reach pieces and it easily cleared off my computer.

So, go ahead, try it out and see what you think!
