For a Clean House, Dusters-Which to Choose? Pledge Duster Plus or Swiffer Dusters

I'm guess you could call me a dust freak, I just hate the stuff, with 3 cats in my household I also find cat fur in strange places around the house so it's no wonder that I have tried quite a few dust cleaning products over the course of my housecleaning lifetime.

In the past few years manufactures have come out with some very innovative products for people like me and I've tried them all, well nearly all, I guess.

The two that I've used the most and will be comparing in this article are the Swiffer Dusters and the Pledge Duster Plus... Both have their merits but I like each one for different reasons. Both fit easily over the handles head that are made with two long prongs for that reason.

you just pull the duster down over the prongs until they are completely covered ...easy as one two three....one thing though, Swiffer Dusters and Pledge Dusters are not interchangeable with the others handles.

Swiffer was the first to come out with the idea of putting fluffy soft micro fibers in a pad like form that fits over a plastic handle, then, they can be removed to put a new one on when the old one gets dirty...genius!

Both have to be shaken before use to get the fibers all fluffed out.

They seem to fit into almost any space you want to dust, corners, and under the tiny areas around and between your electronics....

I also have the Swiffer Duster with Extended Handle which for me is a lifesaver...I am very short therefore dusting can present a problem when cleaning shelves or picture frames hanging high on a wall...Not anymore, this Swiffer does the job for me, extending 3 feet, it will dust even the highest shelves in my wall units and best of all, it bends into four different positions so that it can reach into every hard to reach areas like crown moldings, the top of the refrigerator and ceiling fans. I have fans in nearly every room of my house so I find this Extended Handle Swiffer a true lifesaver. Then if you want to use it unextended just press the little button on the handle and it's ready to dust those items at eye level.
