Swiffer 360 Dusters

I recently was given a Swiffer 360 Duster to try out from the folks at MS&L, Swiffer's PR agency. I was more than happy to try it out for a couple of reasons. First reason was that my apartment is in the front of my building, which faces a busy street, and we therefore get way too much dust and soot in our home from outside. The other reason was that having allergies to dust and other kinds of allergens, I wanted to see if this duster really "trapped dust and allergens" like it claims to. Dusting for me is usually a nightmare because all that most dusters do is shake the dust around a bit so it doesn't look like your home's surfaces are dusty - but we all know better, just give it a couple of minutes and the dust will settle right back again. With all that dust shaken up in the air I'd sneeze and my eyes would tear - ugh. What I usually had to do was wet a paper towel and wipe surfaces down instead, but you can't wet every surface. So, you can imagine that I was keen to see if the Swiffer 360 Dusters did what they claim to (traps and locks more than double the amount of dust, pet hair, and allergens from dust mites and pets). And guess what...it does!

I dusted my perfect-for-a-duster-test apartment with the Swiffer 360 Duster and it worked extremely well. It not only dusted my surfaces, but kept the dust trapped on the duster. No sneezing, no teary eyes - it was great! And would you like to know THE best thing about the Swiffer 360 Duster? Because it traps the dust and doesn't just spread it into the air, I was comfortable letting my 2-year-old dust. He's at that age where he thinks anything I do looks like fun so when he saw me dusting he wanted to as well - so Mama handed over the duster, pointed out where he should dust, and sat down while watching her minion take care of business. Can I say Fab-u-lous?!?!

So, Moms, if for no other reason than to experience the joy of watching your children do housework with a product that actually does the job, I recommend the Swiffer 360 Duster. You'll be glad you have one in your house-cleaning arsenal.
