The Swiffer Effect + Swiffer Green Box Giveaway
Here’s what I have learned since becoming a mom:
It is impossible to keep your floors clean.
Dirt, cheerios, sand from the sandbox and more ends up on our floor ever day.
Can I get an amen?
While cleaning isn’t one of my strengths, with Ezra about ready to crawl, Matthew and I are really trying to make sure the floors are clean.
One of the ways we have been doing this is by swiffering our floors regularly.
A few weeks ago I was given the opportunity to travel to Cincinnatti to participate in a Swiffer immersion with about 20 other bloggers. The timing seemed perfect given our desire to get those floors clean. One of the company’s main goals is to help busy people keep their homes clean with their quick and easy-to-use products.
Cleaning that is quick and easy makes me so happy! That’s the Swiffer effect. Sign me up!
More importantly, Swiffer genuinely cares about helping their customers. Every member of the team spoke passionately about their work and the way Swiffer products impact people’s lives.
But it wasn’t just this passion that inspired me. You see, working at a research health care institution has made me really appreciate data. If you can show me research that proves your theory, I am sold.
And let me tell you, Swiffer has done its research. They shared slide after slide comparing how much more dust and dirt their products collect than generic counterparts. Then they let us test it ourselves.
We were each given a jar filled with a week’s worth of dust in it. Each jar then had a dusting product in it – feather duster, generic duster, Swiffer duster. The bloggers were asked to shake the jars and collect the dust.
It was incredible. The jar with the Swiffer duster literally sparkled. It got every bit of dust. No other product came close. Moreover, when the dusters were taken out of the jars, the Swiffer was the only one that could be shook and no dust came off of it. The researcher said that the products are tested for 3 years and the dust will not come off once it is trapped.
During the event I texted Matthew and said, Get ready! I have drunk the kool-aid.
I came to the event liking Swiffer products, but after the research and live examples, I was blown. away.
Gaining an appreciation for the quality of the products though was only one part of the immersion. On our second day, we had the opportunity to give the products to other people, just like in the commercials.
My favorite experience was recording a video for a Habitat for Humanity family who we got to bless with a box of Swiffer products for her new home.
The video will be shown to the new homeowners when they celebrate moving into their new home.
Later this fall, my family will have the opportunity to bless several local families with Swiffer green boxes, but today, I get to give one away to a lucky Mom Creative reader! Simply enter using the Rafflecopter below. I know the winner will love the Swiffer products as much as I do.

Love these products! Would use them to give my house a good fall cleaning
I’m closing on a house next week! My new house has wood floors downstairs so I’m preparing to build a collection of good cleaning supplies for it! And Swiffer is definitely on the list. I have two cats and a daughter so my floors need serious attention!
With a dog that sheds, swiffers work great to clean up all the hair!
We need these!!
We have a dog in the house…and an 18-month-old. We could definitely use some help keeping our floors and the rest of the house clean!
This would be great to deal with the cat fluff all over my house!
I use the swifter duster all the time. Takes about 1/2 the time and I can reach in the high places with the extender arm. Love them!!!!
I’m not sure who loves Swiffer more…me or my 13 month old. I shortened a regular Swiffer so now it’s “her size” and it’s become
Her favorite toy to follow me and “help”!
I have done my own personal research on Swiffer Products, including testing them against my own home-made products. Swiffer always wins and is much preferred! I did not know it was locked in for3 years, though (dust). That is terrific!
Wet swiffer around the toilet base – my life saver!
we have 3 cats and live in a home with mostly wood floors… we moved there in may, and i sweep almost every day but still have lots of dust. i use microfiber cloths in my swiffer but the actual swiffer cloths work so much better. i need to switch back!
hpouse full of kids im always cleaning ,this sure would make easier
swiffer is the only reason my floors ever get mopped! 🙂 I really want to try their dusting products though!
I would LOVE a box of swiffer products. We used swiffer for years when we had a home with a wood floor, then moved into a few places with just carpet (ugh, I dislike carpet!) and now we’re back to beautiful wood floors. I need a restock! 🙂

I got rid of my Swiffer WetJet several years ago in favor of an old-fashioned sponge-mop, thinking it represented growing into more “mature” housekeeping (or closer to it–my mom is still a die-hard hands-and-knees mopper). FAIL. I wish I had my Swiffer back, and really want to get a new one!
I would love to try some of their new product. I already use their WetJet for my kitchen and bathroom floors. I love house easy it is to use. Thanks!
I would love the swifter products as I wood floors and two cats who do not vacuum or swifter.

My house needs the Swiffer effect!

I have a crawler. And 4yo triplets who like to “help” clean. I love that Swiffer products are easy enough for the little ones to use and I don’t have to go back and redo everything!
I’m a farmer’s wife, and with harvest about to be in full swing, my house always has more dirt in it this time of the year. One of the “perks” of country living!
With 5 kids, a dog and 2 cats, it would come in so handy having their products to use.
I love my Swiffer dusters. This is a great give away!
I have been trying to paint some rooms in my house and the Swiffer products would help me clean up after the painting!
I have wood floors and tile floors and two doggies. Between the dog hair and the dust it is overwhelming. The Swiffers would be a welcome treat!
I battle dust daily as a result of my love for the outdoors and I leave all my windows and doors open in the summertime, on top of that……we live on a gravel road halfway up the mountain, and dust reigns here! So excited to hear of a product that acually PICKs it UP instead of just moving the dust and dropping it elsewhere!
Would love this!
