I don’t like Cleaning!
I do like things being clean, but cleaning is tough. Especially for working moms and dads, and for old people. I know “old people” isn’t politically correct, so don’t get me wrong, I LOVE old people. Most of them are hilarious, full or stories and wisdom, and great role models. Swiffer wants to help us all be able to clean quickly, easily, and efficiently. I use a Swiffer Sweeper, a Swiffer Duster, and a Swiffer Sweeper Vac to clean and dust my house. I have since I graduated college, and I couldn’t imagine cleaning with a mop and bucket like when I was little.
My grandma is currently living with my parents, she has been since she moved up with my grandpa who was on hospice care and passed away recently. When he was healthier and more active, they were a lot like the couple in this clip put out by Proctor & Gamble and Swiffer. The first time I saw the shorter, commercial version of this clip on tv, I laughed out loud. Old people are so fun to watch!
Grandmas are great at Cleaning!
My grandma loves having things clean, but she is SHORT and getting old. She is such a sweetheart and never asks for help, so I have many memories of her getting up on stools and reaching on her tippie toes to clean everywhere. When I was little, I knew if I waited to clean my room until my grandma came over, she would do all the work and I could relax. Things like cheese slicers and mixing cups frequently disappeared, but us kids washed WAY fewer dishes when grandma and grandpa were in town for the summer. My grandpa didn’t seem to know how to clean even if the dust fell on his face. I don’t think my grandma knows much (if anything) about Swiffer, so I plan on showing her this video soon!
What will I be like when I get old?
Couples like this, and many of the old people I know, make me wonder about what Peter and I will be like when we are old. I hope we will be one of those “cute old couples” that holds hands on walks, has friends over at least once a week, and makes each other laugh daily. I hope we can travel the world and fill our time with family and fun. I never really thought about how cleaning will work when we are old…. probably just like this couple – Peter will nap and I will clean. Oh wait, that’s how it works now! Haha, I love Peter but cleaning tends to be the last thing on his mind, so he does the projects and home improvements, and I clean up when he’s done. And he’s a great cook so I’m happy to wash more dishes after he cooks for me.

I would love to have a Swiffer Duster to clean my ceiling fans. It is amazing what dust they can collect.
Everyone needs to clean and these are such practical answers to the tricky out of reach areas. So much better than risking a fall or brazenly ignoring the dust that accumulates.
I use the stiffer dry clothes to do my dusting with.
We recently had some drywalling done. The contractor said to use Swiffers to clean the dust off before priming and painting. Worked like a charm.

Swiffer is such a great way to keep things clean!

I used to have the swiffer wetjet, it was awesome on my tile floors and I loved the way it made my house smell. Unfortunately it was lost when we moved and I haven’t replaced it.
I love swiffer products! We have 2 dogs that shed a ton and swiffer is a huge help!
I love the Swiffer 360 Duster. I want to try the swiffer sweeper and wet jet one day as well.
I love the new swiffer commercials, they are so cute.
I use my Swiffer on my hardwood floors weekly.
Ive been wanting to try the swiffer wet jet. We just got hardwood flooring and I think it would do a good job.
You can never have too many options for how to get something cleaned!
Since putting in hardwood floors throughout the house it has made my daily cleaning routine a little difficult with all the sweeping and mopping with the old fashioned ring out by hand mops so I really think I need to invest in Swiffer products 🙂
Swiffer is the only brand I trust to clean my house
I recently purchased a swiffer duster starter kit. I like the product. I would like to have an extender though to reach my ceiling fans
Not my momma’s mop!
My sister has a Swiffer Sweeper and always brags about it. I want one too!
I currently have the 2 in 1 Swiffer Sweeper and it is very useful in my housecleaning. I love the fresh scent they leave behind.
I would love to try a swifter! Scrubbing the floors by hand daily cleaning up after toddlers takes away so much time!
Swiffer products makes cleaning both family friendly & fun
I haven’t tried the Swiffer. Just a little hand one I got as a free sample. I loved it. I love the commercials of the couple cleaning. Remind me of my Aunt and Uncle.
Now that we have a dog I bet that cleaning would be easier with the swiffter than my regular broom.

I have used Swiffer dusters for years and love them.
I would love to try the Wet Jet.

I love to have my house clean but admit that cleaning is not my favorite thing to do. I love products like Swiffer which makes cleaning so much easier.
I can so relate to the commercial. My mom would think nothing of standing on a revolving desk chair to reach a high shelf that needed dusting, so scary!

My husband’s grandma is 84 and is stubborn as ever when it comes to cleaning by herself. She will clean her house from top to bottom in 2 days even though she can hardly walk anymore after falling almost a year ago. I just don’t know how she does it!!! I’m the same way she is though, in which I have to have things done my way or it is not clean enough. lol I’m thinking that I’ll be the same way when I get older. 🙂
When I originally commented I appear to have clicked the -Notify me when

Is there a means you are able to remove me from that service?
Thanks!

An absolute rushed movie. I’m not even a fan of superheroes or that sort of theme/genre. But I can tell a bad movie when it is a bad movie.
Wonderful blog! I found it while surfing around on Yahoo News. Do you have any suggestions on how to get listed in Yahoo News? I’ve been trying for a while but I never seem to get there! Thank you
I’m impressed, I have to say. Really hardly ever do I encounter a blog that’s both educative and entertaining, and let me tell you, you might have hit the nail on the head. Your thought is excellent; the issue is one thing that not enough individuals are talking intelligently about. I’m very comfortable that I stumbled across this in my search for something relating to this.
