Swiffer Challenge – Find Out Who Wins: Swiffer or the Store Brand

Swiffer vs The Store Brand - Find out which is the best cleaning product for your needs

Now for the Dust Mop Pads. The store brand was visibly thinner, and had no “fluff” to it. Because of the lack of “fluff”, there were no deep little cleaning channels to trap dirt, dust and doggie fur. I have tons of laminate in my house, so finding a lot of floor space to clean wasn’t a problem. I ran the dusting pad over a measured area, and it did act like a sweeper and I accumulated a good amount of debris. When I turned the pad over, it was hardly dirty and there was no hair or dust or fur attached to it. It looked pretty clean. Then I swapped it out for the Swiffer Dust pad – which was thicker, fluffy and had nice little channels to collect dirt and dust in the pattern.

I cleaned the same amount of floor space and got a nice little pile of debris. When I turned the pad over, it was filthy, covered with collected dust, dirt, hair and doggie fur! Do I need to convince you any further.

When my son came in the room, I showed him both pads and asked him which one he thought worked better. He said “of course the one that is dirtier, mom!” From the mouths of babes.
So now you know – Swiffer Sweeper Dry Sheets trap & lock up to 4X more dirt, dust & hair. (*vs the leading store brand dry cloths over total life of cloth). The Swiffer Sweeper dry sheets have nifty deep textured ridges that trap & lock dirt, dust & hair.

The Swiffer WetJet Pads absorb up to 2X more (*vs the leading store brand mopping pads). It was so obvious to me the Swiffer pad was twice as dirty as the store brand. The Swiffer pads have a more absorbent core, so the pad lasts longer and absorbs more. It would have been senseless to continue with the store brand, as it just wasn’t picking up any dirt, and it left vacant dry splotches as I mopped. I could have kept going and going with the Swiffer Wet Jet pad.

There you have it – my totally scientific Swiffer Challenge test! Swiffer out-cleans the store brand! Be sure to pin and share the results with your friends and family, to save them from a cleaning fiasco!
