Swifter duster handles

[Pappy]

Checking our laundry room for supplies and I find we 3 boxes of Swiffer refills, but not a handle to be found anywhere. I’ve checked the stores and online with no success. You have to buy another box that has a handle with it. So I guess we will have 4 boxes of Swiffer soon.

....luckily for you there’s no lack of dust AND it’s FREEnthego:

Go outside and find a stick to attach it to. I'm sure you can find a way;maybe with an elastic band?

 

[hollydolly]

I'm with you RR...find a stick in the shed or something, pappy...

Do you have one of those grabber pick up things? If you slide one side of the grabby part into one of the swiffer slots then you can squeeze the handle and it closes and holds the duster in place very well.

 

[Pappy]

Yes I do have a grabber. Got it from the VA. Will try that. Trees won’t work. All I have is palm trees, no branches. Finding fine dust everywhere from when my kids removed popcorn ceiling.

Pappy, run out and buy a new handle when you get home from the store two or three more handles will turn up!layful:nthego:.


Maybe some coathanger surgery would work.

What Aunt Bea said! And wmart store brand swiff imitations sells with a handle in the box, and possibly w/o handles too.

 

[RadishRose]

Oh right Pappy, you're back in FL- no twigs. The grabber will work, good idea, dkay.

BTW, how do you like the finsihed product??

Or look in a local thrift store. They usually have lots of handles -- at least the one I usually go to does.

How soon does it take for those Swiffers to get dirty, do you have to throw them out and use a new refill each time? I always see ads on TV for them, do they work really well?

It depends on how dirty things are. I can usually Swiffer the furniture, then I take the duster outside and shake it out. I can use each refill at least twice. They work OK for light dust.

 

[Geezerette]

Depends in what you use them on. Last quite a while on light furniture dust, less on really dirty ares that don't get cleaned often. I take it outside after using & slap the loose stuff of it.i still use a cloth if I want to use a polishing product.

 

[Pappy]

WE FOUND OUR HANDLE. IT WAS ON TOP OF FRIG. :banana:

 

[RadishRose]

Yippee!

 

[Sunny]

Pappy, just so you know for the next time you lose the handle, the word is Swiffer (not Swifter).

We let our dust be. As soon as it gets deep enough, we'll plant.
