Need a Definition of Adulting? How About Dusting Walls?

Did you know Swiffer turned 18 this month?

Really.

Yes, I feel old now, too.

As a Swiffer ambassador, I’m helping with the celebration by sharing how Swiffer helps me adult.

Now, to be clear, as a former English teacher, I get that some people don’t care for the use of the word “adult” as a verb. But it makes me laugh. I’m a fan of made up words anyway (deslobification???), so new uses for old words is fine by me.

My definition of adulting for today? Dusting my walls.

Dusting and vacuuming was my job when I was a kid. In my memory, I was a natural at this task, but I’m sure my mom had to teach me. I’m sure, because once I started passing these jobs on to my own kids, I realized that most people are not born knowing how to dust, or knowing exactly what needs to be dusted.

My kids saw me dusting (really, on occasion they did), and to them, it looked easy. It was only when they were the ones dusting that they had to learn the details of dusting.

How even corners and backs-of-things and such need to be dusted.

How proper dusting requires moving things.

Honestly, it wasn’t until I lived in my own grown up house that I fully understood the importance of details like that, and that was mostly because living in my own grown up house meant there was no one but me to take care of those details.

If I didn’t do it, it didn’t happen.

But truly, honestly adulting happens when you’re grown up enough to notice that the walls need dusting.

Walls, y’all.

Walls.

Over the winter, I love to deny that this is true. But around mid-March, sunlight shines through my window and sends the nation into Spring Cleaning mode. That sunshine won’t let me pretend my walls aren’t dusty.

And this is one of those many times when I’m so thankful for my Swiffer. As easily as I can Swiffer my wood floors, I can flip the Swiffer sweeper up and Swiffer my walls. Even these dust-collecting paneling ledges:

Less than two minutes later:

I even dusted the walls themselves, not only the ledges. It’s hard to take photos of dust on walls, but here’s proof that it was there:

I’m so sorry if I’ve burst your adulting-denial bubble.

UPDATE: Giveaway had ended.

Hopefully, entering this giveaway will help you feel better!

I’m excited again to host a giveaway for another Swiffer green box! Just leave a comment on this post (click on the title of the post to get here if you’re reading via email), and tell me what non-floor areas you clean (or think you would clean) with Swiffer. One comment will be chosen (I’ll use random.org to choose a number), and that person will have 48 hours from the time I send them an email to respond with their mailing address. Continental U.S. only. (Sorry!) The giveaway entries will close on April 6th, 2017 at 9 p.m. Central time.

Included: Swiffer Sweeper Small Box Starter Kit, Wet refills, Dry refills, Swiffer Duster, Duster refills

Approximately $50 value.

    I’m cheap, I’ve always wanted a swiffer wetjet but cant bring myself to buy one when I have a perfectly good sponge mop. (its a total pain in the butt though! and It drips dirty mop water down my arm every time I ring it out… ) I think if I had a swiffer I would definitely use it on my knotty pine walls and my vinyl kitchen flooring. I don’t even know the last time I actually mopped its a job I absolutely hate. My mom is a house keeper and on days I’ve gone with her to help I’ve used swiffers and they are fantastic! I really need to invest in one… I think I’d use it a lot more than my mom..

    I would dust the walls. They get cobwebs that get grey with dust and threaten to fall on you when you least expect it. My parents call this “wall hair”. I am just over 5 feet tall, and I’m a giant next to my mom, so I like the Swiffer extended duster. Even with that though, I have to recruit my 6 foot tall 14 year old son to get the tops and corners of my 9 foot ceilings!

    We have smooth walls in our house which are so easy to dust with a swiffer! We are now working on a pretty large house project which really amps up the dust issue. I also noticed this morning a couple of dusty cobwebs I need to tackle this week too! So I guess I am thankful for the dust? Because I really may have not noticed the cobweb otherwise.

    Perfect timing. Not four hours ago i decided to clean out one of my bottom cabinets where i store my Tupperware. After taking everything out of the cabinet, i needed to wipe the bottom and shelf, but i have a really bad back, ( and i am also going to be 85 in less than a month), so got the bright idea to use one of my wet swiffer pads. The long handle made it so much easier than crawling on the floor. Now, tomorrow guess i need to dust my walls! Nony, i love your blog.

I’ve love to give the real thing a try and evict the spider colonies that have to be calling the ceiling corners home these days! And the idea of ceiling fans – I’d never thought of that before. The possibilities, they are endless 🙂

    I would clean those cobwebs in corners of the vaulted ceilings of the dining room my mother always likes to point out when she comes over! 🙂

    As a military spouse, I use swimmer a LOT when we move. We don’t have to “clean” our quarters when we leave, we have to hire a cleaner to do that, but we do have to surface clean. It is amazing where dust collects and what you see AFTER you move the furniture. So, fans, mantles, window sills, etc.

    I would be cleaning in those hard to reach places that I have been putting off for awhile. All of the light fixtures at least the top of them.

    I would definitely clean the walls and the door/window frames, but also the place where the ceiling meets the walls (you know, where my leftover “Halloween” decorations hang out).

    Definitely my kitchen cabinets, bedroom ceiling fan and high walls in the stairwell.
    I have been in this house 16 years, and bought the then-new Swiffer to help me with the hardwood floors. I’m a big fan but I could really use a new one!

    I would clean my ceilings on both my porches and the wall’s where the vaulted ceiling meets in the middle of the house. I use a broom for it now but it knock’s the dust down on top of me.Do you think a Swiffer would work on popcorn ceiling’s too?

    Hmmm cobwebs are a good idea but how about lampshades? I bet they are dusty and probably would be easy to clean with a swifter.
    What i love about a swifter is that my daughter would “help” and with a swifter the dust stayed on it even when she shook it! Pretty amazing.

    Ceilings, ceiling fans, the walls up next to the ceilings. How come I never notice these areas while we are actually cleaning? I notice them when I’m having a conversation with someone in my living room!! And then my “mental note” to clean them gets lost…

    There are so many things is would use a swifter for, but I think the place I need to clean the most is the beams in our family room. We have vaulted ceilings, and the only way I can get to the highest point of the beams is by getting on an 8 ft ladder. And that is NOT gonna happen unless I’m sedated…and getting on a ladder is probably not the smartest thing to do when you’re sedated😂

    The basement of our former house has wood paneling, so I understand what you are saying. I wish I had thought of a swiffer then!
