Goodbye dust cloth
I use these every time I dust my home. I have glass tables and these are perfect for picking up the dust between cleanings. And they're the perfect 1st step in the deep cleaning process.

Sad purchase
I am sorry I purchased the Wet Jet for the same reasons stated by others. It does not clean the floor. It leaves a residue that my white socks can attest to. I also never even thought about the plastic bottle/multiple pads that I would be adding to the landfill. An overall terrible mistake.

Response from Staples :
We know how important it is for your Swiffer WetJet cloths to stick to your WetJet, and want to help, Stacy. If the pad doesn’t stick, the fastening strip may need to be cleaned. You can clean the fastening strip using tape, like masking tape or double-sided tape using the sticky side against the strip to remove debris. If you get the pad wet with WetJet solution, it will stick to the bottom of the mop. Place the pad on the bottom of the mop, spray solution on the floor let the pad absorb some of the solution and the pad should stick. There is no need to remove any part of the cloth when attaching to your WetJet. So we can help further, please call us at (800) 742-9220.

Super effective a nd easy to use my only gripe is
Honestly, this Swiffer Heavy Duty Duster surprised me in the best way. I grabbed it thinking it’d just be another basic cleaning tool, but it actually makes cleaning feel… easy? The handle is lightweight, the duster fluffs up nicely, and it grabs dust so well especially in those annoying spots like blinds and baseboards.

Solution doesn't really clean well
I thought this would be an easier option to clean doggy prints off my hardwood floors, than my O'Cedar spin mop and bucket. It's not. We have 3 German Shepherds and it's hard to keep up with dirty pawprints on the floors, but this Swiffer Mop is definitely not a good option. The solution really doesn't clean that well and you have to keep going over the dirty area ov...

Cleans dust in hard to reach places
This is a must product at my home. I have bought the one which extends and could tilt a bit. It is so easy now to keep my home clean plus to reach all those nook and corner. This heavy duty dusters are so much better than the previous ones and Cleans very well.

The product does the job, but it keeps breaking
The first time I bough the suiffer i was happy with the results, however, the handle brake after using the product for only 2 months.

Stops working
When it works it’s fine, but good luck trying to change the batteries. The call center is somewhat helpful when you do have issues, but they’ll just give you the number to the manufacturer which is actually just a bot. Not helpful, probably wont re buy if i cant get mine to work.

Response from Staples :
We're sorry to read about your recent experience with Swiffer WetJet. We expect our products to work perfectly for a long time, as they're closely monitored during the manufacturing process to ensure top quality Swiffering performance. If you haven't tried this already, wipe the sprayer nozzles with a damp cloth to make sure they're not clogged. Your WetJet also might need priming. Hold the button on the handle for several seconds until spray comes out of the nozzles (hopefully!). You may need to squeeze the solution bottle gently while pressing the spraying button. If these tips don't get it working again, or you still need help with replacing the batteries, please call our human team of Swiffer experts at (800) 742-9220.

Perfect for Car Dusting
I use it in my car to wipe off dust, and it works great! It reaches hard to get spots like vents and corners, and it actually collects the dust instead of just moving it around. Very handy to keep in the car.

Revived my FrankenSwiffer!
I like it, but it's a bit of a pain. My older model Wet Jet died, but I found the battery compartment between the bottle and handle. I replaced the four AAs, and voila! I'm back in the kitchen while my wife is sunning on the deck, wearing only a little more than her floppy hat. Thanks, Swiffer.

Product is lacking
I have bought a few. The last couple did not last at all. The concept is great. But the product is lacking. I have 2 dead swiffers that I keep trying to revive. No such luck.

Unhappy customer
Zero stars. This product is horrible for the environment and a drain on your pocket book as the plastic canister is not refillable. As such, in addition to replacing the pads forever, prepare to purchase plastic canisters for the life of the unit. That's greedy, P & G. Do better.

Just didn't last
I got another WetJet Mop to replace the one I had for many years. This one stopped working before six months was up. It worked fine, right up until it just stopped working. Changed battery. No go. Inspected it. No obvious problem just stopped working after a few months of light duty.

We're sorry you're disappointed to find dirt left behind after using our Swiffer WetJet. We're dedicated to making cleaning easy, and a lot of thought and research goes into our product designs. For best results, we recommend that you always sweep or vacuum the floor before using Swiffer WetJet. When using the WetJet, spray cleaning solution onto the floor by pushing the spray button on the handle down for 2 or 3 seconds to release enough solution to clean 10 square feet of floor. Spray a generous amount of solution on the area you are cleaning. Let the solution sit for 10-15 seconds to help lift the dirt, which is absorbed and locked into the WetJet pad. If the pad doesn't glide smoothly, spray more solution. We recommend that you clean the least dirty area first, saving the dirtiest floor for last. If you need to clean tough spots, scuff marks and stains, spray the cleaning solution onto the stain and leave it to soak for a few minutes, then scrub the area. Also, if you have uneven surfaces such tile floors with grout lines, you may want to consider our Swiffer PowerMop, which features cleaning pads with scrubbing strips that are designed to lift dirt from grooves and crevasses. Your satisfaction is very important to us, and if you have more questions or concerns, we're here to help. Please give our team a call at 1-800-742-9220 from 9AM -- 6PM EST Monday -- Friday, and we'll be happy to assist you.
