How to Clean and Wash Swiffer Dusters Correctly

To save a little money and keep things green, think twice before tossing your dirty Swiffer Dusters. They can be washed and reused with a quick rinse under the faucet or inside the washing machine.

How to clean Swiffer Dusters

While Swiffer Dusters are meant to be disposable, you can actually wash them in the washing machine several times. By washing Swiffer Dusters, they will become fluffy again and you can use them a couple of times.

Here’s how to clean and wash Swiffer Dusters:

After dusting, simply throw the Swiffer Duster into the washing machine. Use hot water to kill germs and wash the duster with a tiny drop of laundry detergent on the delicate or gentle cycle.

Once the Swiffer Duster has finished washing, be sure to air dry by hanging it up to dry. It is recommended to hang the Swiffer Duster outside. Once dry, it will become fluffy and look like new again.

By cleaning and washing your Swiffer Duster, you can keep using it again and again. It will eventually wear out, but it’s definitely good for multiple uses before you need to replace it!

And that’s how simple it is to clean and wash your Swiffer Dusters. While Swiffer Dusters are meant to be disposable, you can wash them several times to save money by not buying the refills.

You can also hand wash Swiffer Dusters

Alternatively, you can also hand wash Swiffer Dusters. Use a sink sprayer (if you have one) and rinse your Swiffer Dusters while gently rubbing them with a little bit of dishwashing liquid. After washing, place the Swiffer Dusters on a towel or hang them to dry before reusing them.

The regular Swiffer Dusters (blue and white) are not as fluffy and durable as the heavy-duty dusters, so hand washing them is the best way to clean them. Using the washing machine can cause them to clump up.

Go for the heavy-duty refills

Obviously, you cannot keep washing the Swiffer Dusters because they are meant to be disposable. If you need refills, I recommend buying the heavy-duty version. The price is not substantially more expensive than the regular ones, but they are dramatically fluffier and more durable.

Swiffer advertises its Heavy-Duty Dusters to be able to trap and lock up to 3x more dust and allergens. They are equipped with thousands of fluffy, specially-coated fibers that grab onto dust in every direction.
