Swiffer is a line of cleaning products by Procter and Gamble. The brand uses the popular razor-and-blades business model, whereby the consumer purchases the handle assembly at a low price and must continue to purchase replacement refills and pads over the life of the product. The names of the products and the descriptions consist of the following:
Swiffer WetJet is a Powermop in which the user places a bottle of WetJet Solvent into the dispenser and a pad on the bottom of the mop. Then the user uses a switch on the handle to spray solvent on the floor then wipes away the Solvent and dirt by passing pad over the sprayed area. Models made since 2006 have a scrubbing strip on the side or front to scrub dried on messes. When pad is dirty, the user simply throws it into the wastebasket. The solvent bottle is nearly impossible to refill and is recyclable in areas that accept #2 plastic. The scrubing strip gets placed into the washing machine when soiled.
Swiffer Sweeper-VAC is a Power Sweeper in which the user places a filter inside the dust cup and a dry cloth on the bottom. The user then uses a push button on the non-replaceable battery compartment to turn on the vacuum. When the cloth is dirty, the user simply throws it into the wastebasket. When the Dust cup becomes full, the user removes the filter and dumps the contents into the wastebasket. Filters should be changed when the furnace filter is.
Swiffer sweeper is a sweeper/mopper in which the user places either a dry cloth or wet cloth on the bottom and sweeps or mops. Mopping cloths have a scrubbing strip for dried on messes. When the pad is dirty, the user simply throws the cloth into the wastebasket.
Swiffer Sweeper X-Large has a cloth head that is one and a half times larger than the regular Swiffer Sweeper. This handle uses two wet cloths or one X-Large Dry cloth or can easily use 2 dry cloths.
Swiffer Dusters are disposable dusters in which the user slides a duster onto a handle and dusts. When the duster is soiled, the user simply throws the duster into the wastebasket. The system has two variations in dusters and two handle variations. The original dusters (180°) and 360 Dusters (360°) and the original handle primarily for dresser tops and other surfaces and the extender primarily for ceiling fan blades and crown molding. Both handles accept both forms of dusters.
Swifer Dust-N-Shine is a furniture polish in which the user sprays on furniture and wipes away with a dusting cloth.
Swiffer Carpet Flick (2006–2008) was a carpet cleaning product for carpet in which the user slides a sticky pad into the slot and the dirt and crumbs got trapped on the pad. Swiffer discontinued this product around 2008. Some WAL*MAR°T's still sell refill pads.
