AsteriskRating Disclaimer

Reviewing products, like reviewing movies or restaurants, is arguably a subjective process (even for well-funded consumer groups) based on the review criteria (what the reviewer considers important) and the unique perspective of the reviewer. Thus, when considering The Housekeeping Channel's reviews, please do not use the numerical product ratings (e.g., "9.5 out of 10") for direct product comparison purposes since these represent the unique 'take' of each reviewer, and will often vary qualitatively and quantitatively from product to product.

Do rely on the text of the reviews for issues to consider when purchasing similar products, and do consider the scientific data supplied (for example, information from the Carpet and Rug Institute's Seal of Approval-related research) that will help you in your decision making process. We believe the "truth" about products can only be discovered by weighing, then averaging, a number of factors and credible viewpoints based on available resources and science, then making buying decisions based on what is important to you.

Pros

  • Traps and removes dust.
  • Telescoping handle.
  • Extremely convenient.

Cons

  • Must purchase refills.

Editor's Note: Tom McNulty's articles and reviews poke fun atthe stereotype of the housekeeping-challenged male, while offering useful tips for men - and women - everywhere.

The Swiffer® earned an instant spot in the Clean Like a Man Hall of Fame. And while this little hand-held spinoff doesn't clean any wet spills, it's a very nice dusting tool thanks to some unique features.

The Swiffer Duster® traps dust with a fluffy, elongated, fabric-fiber head that quickly cleans tabletops but also handles tight areas like the tops of shelved books, and between mini-blinds.

 

Best of all, its plastic handle telescopes out to three feet (like a golf ball retriever, which we love) and has an adjustable pivoting head, so you can dust hard-to-reach spots between appliances, your car's dashboard or console, and the tops of ceiling fan blades. Spray the head with a little Pledge® or Endust® to grab dust even better.
