The swiffer can be great but If I remember correctly you have a dog, and the swiffer can be very dangerous for the dog. If you use it on the floor when, What happens is they walk on the floor and when they clean there paws they get that chemical in there mouth and it can make then real sick and even kill them if they get enough of it. Just thought I'd share you may have already heard this but just in case.

I have heard that before jdogg. After I heard that, I only use them in my truck.

Alrighty then. Now, I have heard that they are bad for your pets, and I have heard they are not.

You just used the duster in your truck, right? That doesn't contain any chemicals in it.
Hell, you could dust the dog with it if you wanted.
I use them too. They do a great job of picking everything up off the interior before I Armorall it. I give it a .

It's cause all your thoughts are random, we need something that is out of the ordinary.

Well heck jamz . . . it's no different than what we were discussing with second hand smoke. You mentioned that sure, breathing it non stop would be bad, but every so often in a bar should be no biggie . . .

No different here. If your dog licked swiffer non-stop it would probably be bad, but licking just the residual after you clean every week or so . . . shouldn't be a problem.

I concur, swiffer does a great job at getting the majority of the dust off of the dash, console, etc. for a quickie.
But to get down inside the vents and little cracks I use a variety of make up brushes. Yea the clerks look at me funny when I come out of the makeup department with an assortment of brushes. But hey, nothings to good for my baby.

I used that cool little duster on a handle thingie they have now. It does a great job of getting in the vents too. Might wanna pick one up. It might have you retiring those little brushes.
