“This spot where you are standing is where I first met Michael Jackson,” our voice coach at Capitol Records stated, “And here’s where Paul McCarthy recorded. Ok, let’s get to work.” We obediently began to chant, “Swiffer Sweeper, Swiffer Duster, Swiffer Wet Jet! Swiff it up!” “Hmm,” he stated thoughtfully after we finished. “That wasn’t as bad as I expected it to be!” And so ended my dreams of becoming a rapper. Instead, I would remain content to be a Swiffer Fanatic, a group of people who shares their love of Swiffer with the rest of the country. We had gathered in Los Angeles to learn the newest science behind Swiffer products and the newest innovations at the Swiffer “Immersion Event 3.0.” Because who wants to spend all their time cleaning the house?
This is a partnered post with Swiffer. All opinions are my own.
What’s the Scoop on New Swiffer Products?
Do you love your Swiffer Sweeper but wish it was bigger? Enter the Swiffer XL, which is one and a half times larger than a regular sweeper. While XL Dry Clothes have been available for a while, it was a pain to use the wet clothes. There were no clothes designed for this Swiffer so we had to use two regular sized wet clothes and attach them in an overlapping pattern. Not only was it messy, you had unused overlapping portions going to waste. Swiffer’s newest product is the Swiffer XL Wet Clothes, designed to fit the Swiffer XL perfectly. If you haven’t tried a Swiffer XL, it really does make cleaning the floors faster. And I can use those minutes I save to do something fun, like fold laundry. Not.
Swiffer Supports the Community
Over the years I’ve been impressed with Swiffer’s commitment to the community. They believe in giving back and helping others. This year we spent an afternoon with L.A. Family Housing, a coalition dedicated to reducing the homeless population in LA. This is not the typical homeless shelter that offers an overnight stay and a meal. At LA Family Housing they are “committed to our participants’ success in long-term housing stability by connecting supportive services to their housing.” This service seeks to provide comprehensive services in everything from employment support, financial literacy workshops, educational opportunities, substance addiction and health treatment, and youth programs, such as homework tutoring and family counseling.
Participants in the program live onsite with Bridge Housing, a temporary place to stay until permanent housing can be found, Permanent Supportive Housing for Single Adults, and Family Housing. After touring the building we were offered choices of how to help. Some of us packed boxes of Swiffer products to give to residents moving to permanent houses. The rest of us headed to the Bridge Housing Kitchen to serve or make meals and talk to the participants in the program. I left feeling uplifted by the program’s mission and dedication.
Swiffer Supports Animal Rescue
I am a huge animal lover so Swiffer’s commitment to helping pets find homes is near and dear to my heart. I’ve attended adoption events with Swiffer in New York City, and was excited when I learned we would be going to Adopt And Shop in Culver City. Advertised as the “Pet Store with A Purpose,” they offer pet adoptions, pet supplies, grooming and dog daycare, all in one location. All of the pets are rescues from local shelters and because they are non-profit, all of the money received goes back into saving the lives of more pets.
Adopt And Shop is the home of the “Catty Wagon,” a custom-built, mobile adoption vehicle designed just for kittens. Who says you can’t have fun with cats? They also offer a FREE for life microchip registry for any pet across the nation. If your pet ever gets lost or there is an emergency, this can help get your pet back to you quickly and safely. We spent the afternoon making adoption signs and cuddling cats and dogs. I can’t think of a better way to spend the day!
Swiffer Supports Having Fun
Swiffer products are designed to make cleaning easier. When the cleaning is done, it’s time to have fun! We spent time recreating a scene from “Friends” at Warner Brothers Studios and taking a set tour. I also learned a fun fact about television shows. Have you ever seen the extras sitting in the background talking and wondered how they don’t disrupt the scene? Maybe I’m the only one who has thought about this? As an “extra” in our scene from Friends, I sat at a counter and was instructed to “talk to the people around me, moving my lips only and not speaking.” Huh. It looked so real when we watched the take but none of us were saying a word. And who can forget our rendition of “Swiff It Up,” the jingle we produced at Capitol Records? Even we had to agree with our coach. We really didn’t sound as bad as we thought we would.
Swiffer Supports Easier Cleaning
Want to know some tips to clean your house AND save time? Here are some of my favorites.
*Keep a Swiffer Duster in your car. It’s great for keeping dust off the dashboard, seats and, really, any part of the car.
*Use Your Swiffer Duster to quickly clean blinds. Just run the Swiffer Duster over the blinds and see how much dust it picks up.
*Use Your Swiffer Duster to clean your computer. (Recommended: Turn off your monitor first.) Wipe down the monitor and the keyboard and see how much dust it picks up!
*Fun Fact- The green strip on a Swiffer Wet Cloth is a scrubbing strip. It’s made to remove tough dirt and stains.
*Swiffer Pro Tip- The easiest way to attach a Swiffer Wet Cloth is to place the Sweeper into the Wet Cloth Container. Then place the edges of the cloth into the Swiffer Sweeper Grips.
As you can see, it’s easy to be a Swiffer Fanatic. Cleaning, Commitment, and Quality. What more could you want? Do you use Swiffer products? Which one is your favorite?

I have the Swiffer wet jet. I like it but can only use it for middle of the week quick clean ups… the cleaner just doesn’t make my floors look clean, it’s like there is a film.

I am probably one of the very few that has never used/owned a swiffer so I can’t say which I would like the best. I would assume that a wet/dry would be best as there is always stuff that has to be dampened while cleaning the floor (I still do the Cinderella style….one hand washes while the other drys!). Thanks for the chance to make my job much easier!

I love the swiffer brand- even more now!
Swiffer Sweeper is my favorite. I enjoy having a clean house and Swiffer helps get it done fast and easy.
I have always loved Swiffer but now I love the company even more knowing how they support animal charities. Its funny because the animals pet fur probably poses the biggest challenge for their products!
Cleaning should be easier, and it would be nice for it to be fun. I could totally use a big XL Swiffer to deal with the hair the dog sheds.
Never heard of that product before but that looks like a great product. I love it that they support for a good cause.
I love supporting companies that give back through a good cause. It’s really important for me to learn that about the products that I buy.
I love when brands have great interactive events! Wait I didnt know people could use swifter for your car interesting.
I had no idea that swiffer supports animal rescue! I love when a brand backs important causes like this, it lets me know they are more then just a company out for profit.
This is awesome! I love having fun while cleaning. Thanks so much for your tips!
I have got to try a Swiffer XL! With our dog and two kids, our floors are always dirty, and our regular Swiffer really does make it easy to clean them. I had no idea that Swiffer was so involved in the community. That is wonderful!
It’s true their products actually work. What a great cause too!
Their products are so convenient. I love the dusters – I made the mistake of using my vacuum attachment for dusting and it scratched up a bunch of surfaces. Love that Swiffer is supporting animals!
My favorite Swiffer product is the Swiffer Duster. It doesn’t just push the dust around. The dust clings to it.
I love swiffer. I use the floor duster, hand duster and wet mop. It’s great that I’m using so many great products from a company that supports our communities.
I am so happy to hear that Swiffer gives back so much to our communities. I love to support companies that give back.
I don’t think I could live without my swiffer! I had no idea they support animal rescue!
Swiffer products can be great. I think things like this really do show why they matter.
I do not have any swiffer products but my sister does and i loved her wetjet! So nice!
Swiffer should promote their philanthropic endeavers more. I am an animal rights and rescue volunteer so I have a great reason to support them now that i know.
Swiffer seriously makes things so much easier! I need to pick up a new one I think…
My favorite Swiffer product is the wet mop. Having pets in the house, I use it pretty much every day. I am also a big fan of the dry cloths.
I love the Swiffer! I have hard surfaces in my bathroom, (its like the material one saw in restaurants in the 1950’s) and the Swiffer works great to clean the walls and ceiling!
I have to admit I’ve not tried Swiffer before but I am going to have to look out for them, especially if they are all about helping animals with some of their proceeds.
I really love all that Swiffer is doing to give back. But I’ve recently transitioned back to a regular mop because I found my Swiffer just wasn’t cleaning the floor well enough. We have several animals, so many we just get more dirt in the house. But we still use the swiffer for quick clean ups!
I remember when Swiffer first came out and I was like “Meh”. Then I bought one and we LOVE it! We have a shedding doggy and hardwood floors and the Swiffer is the quickest way to sweep pet hair off the floor and the kids can use it.
I need Swiffer for my house. My dog tracks in a lot of dirt and I need to clean it daily. I love using the Swiffer duster’s because they really pick up all the dust in our house!
My youngest is in charge of using the Wet Swiffer to clean the kitchen floor and my oldest uses the Swiffer duster to dust the living room.
I love this! Swiffer basically supports EVERYTHING I care about! I knew there was a reason I loved these guys!
I always loved Swiffer for how easy they make cleaning, but now I have a new reason! I love what they’re doing to give back!
I just love Swiffer products! I have the duster. The wet mop. The dry mop. So many things! They work really well.
I use the swifter duster and floor mop. They are easy to use and clean up is great. Love their products.
