 Dusting Has Never Been Easier Mar 03, 2010
Dust is a big problem for me because it triggers my allergies. I try to keep my environment as dust-free as possible by running an air filter 24/7 and by dusting frequently with a Swiffer duster.
- The Swiffer Duster Works
Traditional dusters and dusting cloths oftentimes just push dust around especially on surfaces where there's a heavy buildup of dust. Not the Swiffer. The Swiffer picks up dust so well that it requires just one or two passes to get any dusty surface completely free of dust. Once the dust is locked in the Swiffer, it stays locked in, so it won't get released back in the air.
The flexibility and fluffiness of the Swiffer allow you to easily get around office equipment, kitchen appliances, and other objects into all the nooks and crannies. It really makes light work of dusting tabletops, window ledges, window blinds, and other surfaces.
- How It Works
Each Swiffer duster comes out of the box looking more like a pad. It needs to be pre-fluffed before use. To fluff, grab both ends of the pad with the dusting surface up. Do not stretch it taut; leave some slack in the middle. Next, shake the duster vigorously by moving both hands in a see-saw motion. Now, your duster is all fluffed up and ready for use!
- Why It Works
A newly fluffed up duster resembles cotton candy. The airy mass of material is made up of a lattice-like network of countless frizzy strands of microfibers that are responsible for trapping the dust they pick up. These microfibers are also electrostatically charged to attract dust.
-- Comparisons --
> Swiffer vs. Traditional Duster
A traditional duster does not pick up dust as well as the Swiffer and some of what it picks up oftentimes get released back in the air! The Swiffer readily picks up dust in one or two passes. Once dust is locked in the Swiffer, it stays locked in.
> Swiffer vs. Microfiber Cloth
A microfiber cloth picks up dust very well, but its surface quickly gets saturated with dust and it quickly loses it's effectiveness. The Swiffer, on the other hand, can pick up and lock in a lot more dust before it needs to be replaced.
> Swiffer vs. Chemically Treated Cloth
The chemically treated dusting cloths often leave streaks on glass and other smooth surfaces. Not the Swiffer. Since the Swiffer works by using electrostatically-charged fibers, it won't leave streaks behind.

Of all the different types of dusting products I've tried, Swiffer works the best. I love how readily it picks up dust, and as someone with severe allergies, I can certainly appreciate the Swiffer duster's ability to lock the dust in to prevent it from being released back into the air. 5 stars!
 Another One Bites The Dust Oct 11, 2008
Since moving, I've used a couple of products that have really been a life saved.
One of which is the Swiffer Duster. There are several pieces in this line, the regular duster and the one with the Extendable Handle, which is what I got. It extends up to 3 feet so it makes it easy to get those hard to reach places. But what makes the Swiffer Duster such an improvement over a regular feather duster or rag is that the dust cloths are made from the same lint-attracting material as other Swiffer products. Instead of just pushing around the dust, the Swiffer duster actually collects it and removes it from the surface.
With 2 refills (actually, I think mine had more), the Swiffer dusters themselves are easy to use. Shake them out to fluffy them up, slide them on the hand and you're ready to go.
The nice thing about the extendable handle is that it pivots so you can set it an an angle to dust the top of something tall, like an entertainment center or perhaps even a ceiling fan.
I found these really do pick up dust well and make the job a breeze. If there's 1 thing I'm not so fond about it's that the refills are relatively flat, not round like many feather dusters, so there's only 2 sides to use. However, Swiffer has a new 360 Duster that should do the trick for that.
Swiffer Duster - Great Product! Mar 09, 2008
The swiffer duster is a great product - makes my life 100 times easier! I hate dusting and this really does the job. The duster traps the dust, and it doesn't fly around the room like a feather duster. We have a large flat screen TV and quite a few computer screens, and it cleans the dust off of them with ease.

Excellent For Computers!!! Jan 29, 2008
I like the Swiffer dusters, for keeping my computer, keypad, printer, and my computer desk, dust free. I keep one handy by the computer.

Don't spread it, SWIFF it!! Oct 10, 2007
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R1COT4TXJRG5V4 This thing grabs dust like a magnet and hangs on to it too.
To start, just shake out one of the dusters to fluff it out, insert the handle and you're all set to dust.
When it gets too dirty to look at, just toss and grab another duster.
Don't make housework harder than it has to be - just Swiff it!!
