This post is brought to you by Swiffer. It’s about Swiffer and about some deep thoughts I’ve had lately regarding storage.
But, other than the fact that a Swiffer duster is great for getting in all sorts of random places (could be storage places) and actually trapping the dust, storage and Swiffer don’t seem to go together.
Bear with me as I explain the reason I’m writing about these two things in one post. I saw, in August, the very best example of storage I had ever seen. And that was thanks to Swiffer.
Y’all know I’m a Swiffer Ambassador, right? This year for our Swiffer Immersion trip, we went to Los Angeles. We spent the morning learning about all the new Swiffer innovations that will release in the spring of next year. Some of them are very exciting. In a cleaning-products-that-solve-problems-I-face-everyday-make-me-excited kind of way.
I can’t share what new stuff is coming in the spring, because I had to sign things saying I wouldn’t (this is VERY serious business, y’all), but I can tell you that if you have a Swiffer XL, you can now get wet sheets for it! No more struggling to make do with two regular-sized wet sheets.
Still wondering where the thoughts on storage come into this story?
As always, Swiffer showed us a fun time. Honestly, that’s one of the reasons I love working with them so much.
We visited Adopt and Shop in Culver City and met some awesome dogs and served dinner at LA Family Housing to some of the friendliest people ever!
We recorded a Swiffer song at Capitol Music, and took a Warner Bros Studio Tour.
Very cool being where so many amazing artists have recorded!
The WB tour was where I had a Storage-Related Moment of Clarity.
We walked through one small section of the prop storage building. So many interesting things made my heart (the part of my heart that loves interesting things) feel all warm and fuzzified.
Memories of the days when I taught theatre came flooding back. In those fun days, I had a legitimate excuse for collecting and keeping any interesting thing that crossed my path.
I loved looking at fifty different styles of telephones and globes and such.
But then I started taking notice of the way this incredibly organized storage facility was set up. Shelves were everywhere. Paths were narrow. Spaces were full.
But every single thing was visible and get-to-able.
And it made me think about storage in general. Real-life storage as opposed to we-make-movies storage.
In frantic decluttering sessions early on in my deslobification process, I sometimes wondered if there was any legitimate reason to store something I didn’t use all the time.
Now, I understand that every decluttering decision comes down to the Container Concept. I can keep whatever fits easily in my home at a level I can keep under control easily, with priority given to things we use now.
Storage is fine, as long as it meets the guidelines of the Container Concept.
So how do you properly store things?
Piles aren’t storage.
Sorry. They’re my default, too.
If something is worthy of taking up storage space, I must be able to see it and get to it easily. Or see the box it’s in (and know it’s in the box it’s in) and get to that box easily.
This means having a room piled with boxes that would require a whole day (or whole week) spent digging around to find something isn’t okay. That’s not storing. That’s shoving.
So storage space, when applying the facts-are-facts Container Concept, needs to include not only room for the actual items to go, but room around those items to allow me to get to them easily.
Hmmmm. Lots to consider.
Maybe look at it like this: My goal is to be able to dust the item (or at least the top of the box the item is in) with my Swiffer duster.

I would clean my kitchen floor more often!
My floors would so welcome a beautiful Swiffer to bring them back to life to see the sunshine and cleanliness. As I have been healing from a femur/hip fracture.
Swiffer Immersion….lol Sounds like a pilgrimage we could all enjoy! 🙂
I clean my wood floors with swiffer
I have laminate flooring in my kitchen/dining/and hall. So many crumbs
Everything!!!!
I use swiffers on all my floors!
I use Swiffer dusters for all my dusting – they work great!
I love using the Swiffer to clean my ceiling fan blades.
I would use Swiffer to clean the babies room. It would be so nice to know I’m not using harsh chemicals. Or using something loud, like the vacuum, because, ya know, sleeping baby. Who wants to wake a sleeping baby???
But it would let me clean everything in the house, even if I was holding my daughter (baby snuggles are the best), because I would be able to do it one-handed. Bonus, it wouldn’t scare my furbaby either. Win-win.
I use swiffer to wipe down the walls and remove the random fuzz and cat fur and who knows what (OK, it happens rarely, but it always looks so nice when I do do it)
We use Swiffers for dusting (which we need to do more of) and for our floors. We have laminate and they are gentle enough on them to not damage them but effective in cleaning up the messes of our family. I need to get a dry sweeper though, because our baby is about to start crawling and DEAR GOD THE ANIMAL HAIR SHE’LL FIND!
I have heard great things about the Swiffer system. I would really enjoy using this to clean! We live in the country, and we have LOADS of dust and dirt flying about that really need to be corralled, or should I say SWIFFERED 😀
I would clean my kitchen and dining room floors, which need very much to be cleaned, and now you’ve given me an excuse to wait another couple of weeks at least.
Would clean my kitchen stools that the day care kids eat on!
I would clean my kitchen floor more often. I think.
It would be so nice to get the dust/hair tumble weeds out of the corners without having to bend over (allergies) or squat (dodgy knees).
Love to get the cat hair off of my new vinyl plank flooring.
Ceiling fan blades! They are not my favorite to clean, so I just want to get the job done fast. 🙂
I LOVE using it in my bathrooms. It gets all the long and little hairs! Yuck! The regular broom just doesn’t sweep it all up.
First time poster here. Started reading (and listening) over the summer and I am making headway! Love what you do, keep on inspiring us!
Swiffer— dusting ceiling fans and intricate lighting. Wood flooring!
I use ’em on my wood flooring, the walls, and for dusting.
Baseboards. We moved into this house 15 years ago. I can probably count on one hand the number of times the baseboards have been dusted. But the only time I notice is AFTER guests are in the house… And OMG, WHAT IS THAT GREY FUZZ on the baseboards? Not mold… just dust bunnies. Something I might clean if I just didn’t have to crawl around on the floor to do it.
And did I mention we have DARK mahogany furniture? It’s gorgeous, when it’s not covered in dust. And it’s totally a dust magnet. Every.little.spec.of.dust.in.the.house. It’s a losing battle…
I would use it to dust off the TV and bookshelves. Cat hair gets EVERYWHERE, ya know?! 🙂
I love my Swiffer duster! If I won, I’d give one to my mom, I was helping her clean before a party the other day, and she doesn’t have a Swiffer! Let’s just say i skipped dusting, I’d already swept and didn’t need all that dust on the floor!
So all the “storage” places being built in our area, probably for us Baby Boomers who may be downsizing, should really be called “You Shove It” places. I can see the marquis now: “You shove it, here!”
The Swiffer products are fantastic for my laminate floors and the constant dog hair. And I’m soooooo jealous of that blinged up Swiffer!! 😍
Dog hair off our stained concrete!
Dusting! My least favorite.
All my knick nacks.
I would use it on my kitchen and bathroom floors for day to day cleaning (or mostly) 😉 Thanks for the giveaway.
I would use Swiffer to clean my hardwood floors. Looking forward to seeing the new stuff soon!
I am new to deslobification! I just got your book and now am following your blog. I needed this years ago!! With 2 children (one almost 3 and one 7 month) I would use the swiffer to clean up the kitchen floor after dinner so I don’t have to lug out my huge noisy vaccuum. It would help not to scare the baby. I could use it to get ready for the crawling stage. AHHHHH! My floors are definitely not ready for a crawling baby. Hopefully I can keep up the momentum! A swifter would help out immensely.
I use the swifter sweeper with the dry cloths to dust my walls since I have tall ceilings. Works great!
Getting under my son’s crib and under the furniture in the living room! Those hardwood floors get dusty!
Couldn’t keep my floors clean without Swiffer!
I LOVE SWIFFER!!!!! And I want one of those blingy things you’re holding!
I struggle with the rule of container limits every day. My hoarder tendencies wants to hang on to it even though my rooms are at capacity. Need a swiffer solution.
I love the bling Swiffer! So cute! I use Swiffer to quickly sweep and spot mop my floors. The extra one would be great since my children love to fight over who gets to use it!! LOL!
I would love an updated Swiffer to clean all my hardwood floors with. Love your book.
I use my Swiffer to clean my RV floors. It can be broken down and takes very little space, but does a GREAT job! Anyone who has ever owned an RV knows that storage space is at a huge premium! Swiffer is pervect.
Oh I would clean the hard wood floor in my daughters room, dust ceiling fans and places that are a pain to reach, mini blinds. My dusting would be so much easier.
I need all the cleaning help I can get!!!
My hardwood floors could definitely use swiffering! And ceiling fans. And dusting. Seems like those things don’t get done nearly as often as they should.
I use swifter products!
I would dust my ceiling fans. Literally this morning I turned on my ceiling fan (oh high) and dust started flying everywhere. (I haven’t used ceiling fan in weeks since the weather had cooled some. I’m loving your podcasts!!
Swiffer sheets (or those fluffy duster thingies) are great for cleaning ceiling fans! That’s one thing I use mine on. Love the blingy-wet jet!
We are in the midst of a kitchen renovation project and it’s kicking up lots of dust! This would be great.
I would use Swiffer to clean all of the newly-decluttered areas in my home! I have been listening to Dana’s book on AUDIBLE over & over since spring! It’s the best motivator EVER for clutter. I can’t recommend it enough! My basement is almost empty & now clean thanks to Dana, for the first time in 23 years! Two thousand pounds of clutter gone! Thank you Dana! I tell everyone how you have helped me.
Between my long hair and my cat’s long hair, I sweep the floor with Swiffer EVERY DAMN DAY
Oh, Lordy, what would I NOT clean !?!?!?!
For the last 7 years, we have concentrated on ill, elderly parents – 90 yo Father, 89 yo Mother-in-Law with Alzheimers and 90 yo Father-in-Law with multiple myleoma. They are now at rest, but with (1) letting lots of housework slide while care-taking and (2) dealing with the cleaning and disposal of an 800 sq ft apartment and a 2200 sq ft house, WE NEED HEAVY DUTY TOOLS !
We just moved from an all-carpeted apartment to a house with lost of (beautiful) wood floors. I would LOVE a stiffer to help maintain cleanliness around here!
I love Swiffers for my hardwood floors, and my boys think it’s great fun to do it too!
This post got me thinking I actually need to use a Swiffer on the floor of my storage area in the basement!
I clean my window blinds with Swiffer sheets. They are also great for getting up glitter and embossing powder when I’m card-making. I’ve been wanting one of those fluffy duster things in the hopes that I could dust my fan blades without clumps of dust falling everywhere…
I have a weird problem (I’m sure you can relate to weird problems!). I in fact actually LOVE to organize. I’m the go-to person for loading up a dishwasher, I love playing tetris with things, moving and shifting them until everything clicks into Maximum Organized Position (where it all looks nice and neat and appeals to my sense of order and balance and use of space).
What I do not love is cleaning. At this very moment my kitchen counters are all at 99% M.O.P….and my kitchen floor is filthy. Which is sad and tragic because it’s a tiny galley kitchen with about 20 square feet of floor space, so how hard can it be to mop? But I also suffer from Time Awareness Issues, and I’m balking at All The Time it will take to clean. If I won the Swiffer contest I would be forced to confront this because I would feel too guilty not to. (I clearly need to re-read your book, Nony!)
preety much anything
I love to wipe down the walls. I always marvel at the dust that comes off.
I would use Swiffer products to clean all those decluttered spaces that I am creating by reading this Blog (and listening to your podcasts).
Mmmmm, you mean I have to clean…. of course getting some cool cleaning products may make me more enthusiastic to attempt to reduce the layers of dust that have become dust bunnies that are overtaking my house!
My kitchen floor!
My wood floors!
My old Swiffer broke a while ago. Several years ago actually. It may have been used for sword fight, or air guitar, or something else. I don’t know. My boys wouldn’t ‘fess up. I never replaced it because I was afraid my boys would repeat whatever caused the first one to die. Now they are teens and wouldn’t touch a Swiffer unless under threat of computer restriction. I would love a new one!
We are moving to a home with all wood floors. I’ll need a Swiffer to replace my vacuum cleaner! And I love the duster!
My dining room needs this!
My wood floors throughout my whole home and then the ceiling fans, chandeliers and my beautiful collections of pictures throughout.
Ceramic tile floors, and every picture frame in the house!
I would clean my dust bunny covered wood floors (especially under furniture and corners). Also my impossible-to-keep-dust-free-ceiling-fans if Swiffer can do anything with that!
I would clean floors more, as well as tops of things…bookcases, picture frames, etc.
I’ve used a Swiffer for my floor for years, but recently I purchased the Swiffer 360 duster and it is absolutely THE best thing for dusting, reaching the ceiling corners and the ceiling fans. I hate cleaning, but this makes it so much easier to dust… that it actually happens more often now!
I’d dust the ceiling fans. This is the time of year when I can see the dust, buy who wants it falling on everything?
I would use on my floors and be able to get my ceiling fan blades.
Oh, man! I would clean so many things with all the Swiffer swag! I could do the floors in my kitchen, dining room, entry hall, and bathrooms (ugh, the bathrooms!), and I would dust my whole house. It would be awesome to win this kit.
I cobweb catch!
I gather dust and hair with Swiffer. It does a great job!
So. Much. Pet. Fluff. I have to use my Swiffer every day to keep it at bay. But let’s be honest, I don’t always keep it up.
Swiffer dusters are a life saver! My blinds are pretty disgusting but since I have started to de-slobify I am actually getting to those types of jobs. Swiffer duster to the rescue!
I love using my duster to get dust and fuzz at my office desk. I actually keep one in my drawer! It gets really gross around here, so I like knowing that I have something within reach to help keep my allergies under control a little better.
I love the swifter duster to get my youngest cleaning! She has older siblings who clean toilets and vacuum, but she knows she has the best job. It’s a game to get the dust off of every horizontal surface she can reach. Cleaning can be fun!
We have 7 large dogs that are family and needless to say they leave hair all over, all the time and I swiffer everything – really everything. Getting the dust off all our pictures and the dog figurines with my swiffer makes it easy. Chasing dog hair under furniture is such a plus. I just love my swiffer and would never, ever like to do without it.
I would start with my kitchen and move forward.
I will clean my fifth wheel travel trailer from front to back!!! There is so much dust and grime from driving and then parking on dusty roads. It’s very difficult to reach
all of the nooks and crannies with a dust cloth and I want even describe keeping the floors clean. A Swiffer would also be easy to store.
My mom had a Swiffer, it was pretty cool. I’ve nver used it but am intregued by the wet and dry and XL, I love anything XL.
I would use my swiffer to clean my floors and the top of my fridge and other hard to reach areas
I love Swiffer products. The small dusters work great for cleaning blinds!
I would definitely use a swiffer for my walls, I know it sounds dumb but they work wonders on our knotty pine walls! I had one for a long time but my husband accidentally broke the handle by closing it in the bathroom door lol. Haven’t had one since my last one broke, but would love to have another
I clean my fan blades with the duster
I would love to have a Swiffer that quickly cleans my entry way hard wood floor. I hate the ‘dust’ I see every day 🙁 when the sun shines thru the door.
I think I’d use it to go after the cobwebs. Don’t look up at my house, people!
I may have to clean around piles of hubbys randomncrap- but I will have cleaner floors! Non-crumby non-sticky floors:)
I love that I have a Swiffer Duster at work for keeping my office neat and dust-free!
At home, I could clean … everything. And Swiffer would be pretty handy for that, too.
I have several shelving units in my house that I would use the Swifer Duster to clean. They hold lots of little knick-knacks and the duster would be ideal to clean them.
I would dust and Swiffer up all the dog hair in my house!!!
I use Swiffer everyday on all my floors. Love the Swiffer duster for my once a week dusting and quick touch ups when company is expected.
I don’t have much tiled space, a Swiffer would be great for my kitchen and bath though!
I don’t own a swiffer but would probably use it on floors.
Swiffer is perfect to clean underneath my king-sized bed. I can never reach underneath the whole bed with the vacuum without moving the bed, which is a big hassle.
I suppose it wouldn’t hurt if I just cleaned something with a Swiffer. So much to do, so little time!😜
I would get back to dusting the mantle again instead of using the vacuum cleaner brush attachment. It’s a rustic, unfinished wood beam that’ll cause any dust cloth to snag.
I would clean ALL THE THINGS! Well that’s what I’d like to think anyway. In reality I’d probably use it to clean my kitchen and dining room floors because those are always a constant disaster. I have a 2 year old that loves to shove his cheerios in any little space he can find.
I would clean my tv cabinet bc it is black and shows dust soo easily! This post is very eye opening on storing not shoving and calling it storage! I LOVE the way you think maybe bc it has helped me so so much! We are definitely kindred spirits as you would say!
I’d Swiffer my mom’s apartment
I’d love to have an easy way to capture the dust wads that sneak around on my hard floors and ceiling fans. (don’t add my comment to your giveaway – I’m in Alaska 😫)
Under my table where you never know what is stuck there with little kids around.
Or maybe it would have been very useful just now when my in-the-middle-of-training son ran off the toilet and pooped on the floor.
Ever notice how every little speck shows up on dark laminated floors? Swiffer keeps me sane enough that I don’t go out and spend money we don’t have on carpet!
I use Swiffer products “everywhere” from ceilings (cobwebs) to top of the entertainment center (dust from electronics) to my floors laminite in the kitchen, wood most other rooms except, the tile in the master bath. One time I even used a Swiffer wet jet & washed off my car while camping (worked pretty good to get the mud off the car & camper outside clean). I’m still finding unique ways to utilize some of the other items Swiffer has as well.
I would love to have a swiffer! We recently bought a new home and every single room had carpets! Every. Single. One! No joke, the bathrooms, kitchen, and garages all had carpet! We are slowly updating and getting the carpet out of rooms that shouldn’t have carpet! Since I no longer need to vacuum my kitchen floor, I would love to get a swiffer to use instead!
I use the Swiffer to clean my kitchen floor, entry hallway and bathrooms, both dry and wet mop all. So easy!
I use my swiffer for walls and regular daily floor clean up. I’d use the duster to do baseboards and curling blade fans and the tops of frames and door jambs.
I would clean my bathroom, dining room, living room, kid bedroom, and kitchen floors. Among other things. I would use the Swiffer to clean all the things…once we uncover enough to clean.
I would clean my ceilings. This is cobweb time of year outdoors and indoors. I want to nip any spider webs in the bud and get my home clean for Thanksgiving. Dana, thanks for your encouragement to get our houses under control so that we enjoy hosting family and friends!
I clean floors, walls, ceilings, corners, tv’s, gaming consoles, computer surfaces, desks, bookcases, etc. Not always because otherwise, hehe, there would never be dust on them!
I would use the Swiffer on my tile floors. Two loveable dogs leave 8 messy paw prints throughout my tile floored rooms. Also, one of them leaves enough hair on the floor, that I could pick it up and make a ball of yarn!! Thanks!
Never had one, but I think I would start in the kitchen and keep moving from there…
I CAN SWIFFER:
Stairs
Walls
Inside Closets
Foyer
Front Bedroom
Everwhere
Regularly!
I would clean under our beds with the SWIFFER, knowing my granddaughter will think that is cool and ask to do it herself!
If I win I will give the prize to my sister-in-law who is Asperger and lives on limited income. Just today she asked about Swiffer products. I think she would be trilled to get this. Fingers crossed. Thanks Swiffer and Dana.
I use the swiffer duster on my walls (who knew was get dusty!) and ceiling fans. I use the swiffer wet jet on my tile and laminate flooring to clean up after my new puppy!
Of course, it all seems so obvious once somebody shows you how it is done!
I am a big fan of storage boxes you can see into without opening. After Christmas last year, my husband decided he wanted LOTS of storage containers to put all the decorations and surplus things away. He came home with opaque red ones with green lids because he thought they looked all, “Christmassy”. (We store our Christmas things in a cupboard in the basement where nobody but me is ever going to see them). They drive me crazy! Even with labels on the outside, I never remember EXACTLY what is inside them without opening them up. I think this year I might try to make them into Boxes of Blessings to pass on to other people filled with holiday goodies. Or I might just donate them. Either way is good, so long as they go!
I would be able to get my kids to clean the floor and dust their rooms with this prize.
I use swiffer dry on the wood look vinyl plank. Thinking now about using Swiffer wet on the kitchen floor. It could look awesome every single day!
I use swiffer for walls, floors, and trying to get my kids to help! 🙂
I would use this as a quick clean to get all the dust bunnies that accumulate in our bedrooms upstairs,!
I need this with mostly tile floors. Have never had one before.
I clean almost everything with my Swiffer products. They get a good workout in our house!
I would clean all I could with the ease of Swiffer products. They would help a lot with saving time.
I used to have a swiffer but I think I didn’t like the way the pads attached to it…has that changed?
I do love the dusters! I use them for everything dusty – tops of tvs, shelves, lampshades, the walls and ceiling above our forced hot air heat vents….
I think I need a swiffer mop again!
You mean with a Swiffer duster I would no longer have an excuse as to why I don’t clean the light fixture hanging over my staircase? I guess I would be able to reach it more often with a Swiffer duster. Not to mention my floors would shine more. 😜
My children love to use the Swiffer in our kitchen and bathrooms. And like a good mama, I let them clean all they like!
I don’t need this, but I may have to “sparkle” mine up. How many do you think they would sell if they were “sparkled up”. I have two of these. One for upstairs and one for downstairs. Yesterday I bought the regular one because mine was on its last leg. It fits better between the toilet and the wall. Mine was grey and this one is green, so its been a while.
I want to know what they have for this Spring!
I’m still reading in 2011, but decided to see what you were up to now. I have read your book and see that you have a one soon. Is it new stuff? Inquiring minds.
Swiffers are great for dusting….floors , baseboards, and walls. I have MS so lack of energy is a problem – I need something that does the job well when I do clean and Swiffer products do just that. Looks like you had an awesome time on your trip!
Clean and dust my ceiling fans more often!
My bathroom floor
Swiffer-this, Swiffer-that, Swiffer All’round. Our original has been co-opted for the dog’s room, so we need one for the rest of the places we used to use it.
Fortunately, I’m a random number magnet so I’ll be awaiting your email after the random thing picks me!
We are finishing our basement and will have vinyl plank flooring down there (as opposed to the carpet we have in our current living area). I will need a Swiffer for the floors sure! And dusters…oh, the drywall dust…
I would start in the kitchen! I don’t have a Swiffer but it looks very useful.
I would be able to replace my old Swiffer wet one which broke and I’ve been using wet wipes to wash my kitchen floor. 🙂
I LOVE LOVE LOVE Swiffer!!! I’d clean my floors more often – 4 cats and BIG dog make a LOT of hair!
Clean my kitchen floor more often
I would clean my wood mini blinds! They need a swiffering bad.
I’ve never tried a Swiffer….. can you clean ceiling fans with them? Their my nemesis right now!!
p.s. love your blog!
Absolutely!!
You have me rethinking my original plans for shelving in my basement! I need access…not just shoving things on my shelves!!! Need to knock the cobwebs down first!!! 🕷🕷🕷
I dust the dashboard on my car and all the dusty parts on the instrument panel with a swiffer!
I would keep it by my vanity since my cats love to hang out there and it gets soooo dusty/hairy!!! It would also be nice to have to help control the cat litter mess in my dining room. 🙂
I use Swiffer everywhere, but a fun place to use it is my coffee bar.
Everything!!
It would be lovely to have one in the larger bathroom to keep behind the door so the, “I don’t have enough time/energy/drive to get the real mop out” gremlin wouldn’t win, since we all know a quick sweep more often is better than a “the floor is downright scary” deep clean.
I use the Swiffer Duster for my routine dusting (approximately weekly, LOL)
Absolutely loving your sequined Swiffer. What fun you will have using it. I wonder, though, do you have to dress up like the housewives in the 50s TV shows to use it, lol?
I use the Swiffer duster for all my dusting. It gets into spaces I wouldn’t normally be able to get into. It’s fast, easy and most importantly effective!
I would clean my wood floors, dust the window sills, clean the fan blades, and keep my piano shiny! My house was built in the early 1920’s and dust is everywhere all the time. Swiffer helps us keep up with the dust bunnies that multiply like crazy around here.
Love the Swifter wet sweeper to clean the bathroom floor….just did it last night and they work great! Would love a duster to get the ceiling fan blades….and everything else.
I want one so my kids can easier help mop the floors
I would love to see if having Swiffer wet pads would improve my mopping motivation. I would dust lots of stuff.
Dusting would be so much easier with a swiffer duster!
I would use it for my ceiling fans. They are also great for picking up the pet hair!
Kitchen floor and tile hall/entry!
I’d clean my kitchen and mudroom floors.
I would use it to clean my wood floors in the living room, as well as the bathroom floors–yuck!
I use Swiffer for my floors and have recently started to use them to dust. They are great for blinds and ceiling fans!
I’d use the Swiffer duster to get the tops of my bookcases where the cat lurks– and sheds. I’d use the Swiffer Sweeper on the floor, where I do not clean often enough!
I think a Swiffer would be perfect for cleaning my bathrooms!
I don’t just want, I NEED Swiffer! We adopted a cat and named her Maui (after our favorite Hawaiian island). Just one problem; she sheds fine white fur EVERYWHERE! If I try to sweep or vacuum, it just creates a white storm! Help!
I have used both the dry (dusting)swiffer and the WET swiffer on my kitchen
and bathroom floors. The one time I got my husband to WET swiffer his bathroom, he snapped the handle in two pieces. Haven’t replaced that WET swiffer but need to soon. Of course ALL the floors need to be swiffed!!!
I already clean EVERYTHING with Swiffer including my kitchen and bath floors, office floor, ceiling fans, car interior, and so much more!
I would clean my kitchen & bathroom floors more frequently.
I have 9 foot ceilings, and I am 5’1″. Between my Swifter extendable duster and my 5’11” 15yo son, I can dust the corners!
I use Swiffer on my hardwood floors. Sometimes. When I think about it… 🙂
I’d use it for everything.especially since a new grandchild will be coming soon.
My hubby broke my last Swiffer (so sad!) but it was really useful for the tile in the bathrooms and kitchen, and the laminate in the front room and hall. I could use help with dusting just about everywhere.
I would clean my floors more often since my fur babies leave hair, grass, and little paw prints that need to be cleaned often. This would be a great help.
I would clean out all the places the kitties and their fur accumulate. Did I mention the short haired tortoiseshell momcat gave birth to 3 longhair orangies?
I would clean everything… especially since there’s a new grandchild coming soon.
Some of my storage is still chaos, but I’m working on it. I use Swiffers all the time. I even keep one in my car’s door pocket to clean off the dash.
When I discovered the Swiffer dustmop, I purchased my mother-in-law, my best friend, and my daughter one. I loved it because it could be used for dusting everything. The one thing dusted that sold me was the ability to dust walls. Now we dust walls, the floor, furniture, everything.
My kitchen floor!
THIS is exactly what I have been trying to wrap my brain around.
My pantry in the kitchen is DEEP. So things are always getting lost back there. I am trying to declutter AND get container storage that allows me to see things at a glance.
Cabinets just don’t work- so.much.shoving.
WOW!!! I love your bedazzled Swiffer. I want to see it in a video. I’m new to your blog and channel so it may already be in there. I recently started my deslobification journey, FOR REAL this time. I’m on week 2 now and I have to say that laundry and dishes have been the eye-opening aha moment for me. Those two things, when done, allow me to see other things that need to be decluttered, given away, let go, and all that jazz. Then after the decluttering comes the actual cleaning and storing of things I actually use everyday. It is a process and I’m exhausted, because the initial process is always the most difficult since it means I’m removing layer by layer, but I’m also very motivated and seeing my home in a new light is so satisfying. Thank you for doing what you do and showing us ‘slobs’ that we are normal and we can change by shifting our perspective on our homes and what it takes to keep them under control.
