Feather duster
If you’re concerned about your Swiffer Duster’s cleanliness, you can wash them in the washing machine. However, you must clean them first. You can use detergent or soap to sanitize them. Just be sure to use a low-speed setting and dry them thoroughly before reusing them.
Using a Swiffer feather duster is easy. The material is washable and can be stuffed into small spaces without crushing the feathers. However, it is important to remember that you should be gentle with the duster. If you use too much force, you could damage the feathers. In order to make sure that your Swiffer duster is clean and squeaky-clean, you should dust it lightly.
Swiffer dusters have specially coated fibers that trap dust. The 360-degree rotating wand easily dusts any surface. Swiffer dusters are available in a range of sizes and colors. You can choose one with a lavender scent and an extendable handle. They come with refills of 10 ct.
Microfiber cloth
Microfiber cloths were originally introduced in the 1950s and have since become very useful household cleaning supplies. They are extremely effective at cleaning surfaces and can hold up to eight times their weight in water. They are also very easy to clean and don’t leave any streaks or lint behind. These cloths feature split fibers that help them grab dirt and grime.
These dusters can be easily washed, but you should avoid using hot air to dry them. This will ruin the grooves and texture of the microfiber. Also, fabric softener will reduce the dust trapping ability.
Fabric softener
Fabric softener can be used to soften clothes, bedding, and rugs. But it can also affect certain types of fibers. According to Carolyn Forte, director of the Good Housekeeping Institute Cleaning Lab, using fabric softener on certain materials can ruin their effectiveness. Microfiber, for instance, has intricate threads that can trap dust and absorb spills, but fabric softener can ruin their efficiency.
A common home-made alternative to fabric softener is baking soda. It can be added to your main wash cycle to soften clothes. Just be sure to use the Swiffer Heavy Duty Dusters to avoid the problem of snagging your clothes.
Washing machine
Swiffer dusters are reusable. You can wash them in a washing machine but they won’t be as fluffy. It’s best to rinse them under the faucet before putting them in the machine. However, you should avoid washing the handle. It can rust and rot.
Swiffer dusters contain mineral oils to attract dust particles statically. This oil is colorless and odorless and does not mix with water, which helps keep them from becoming soggy when washed. Also, the mineral oil does not irritate the skin and does not cause allergies.
