I have used swifter dusters in the past. I have thought they were good, but cumbersome to handle, especially once dirty. We live near an airport, so it's ALWAYS dusty. I hate dusting. So I let my 6 year old dust because she thinks it's fun. Sometimes she uses a sock or a towel, sometimes our old swifter kit, if I had refills. I found myself not buying them anymore because they were a pain to put together.

Not anymore! The new refills seem to slide right on easily. In fact my 6 year old can do it herself, she doesn't need my help. And the duster doesn't slide off while dusting, but it's easier to remove than the last kit I used. I also had the original one that didn't extend. The extending wand is FAB!!! My Lil one can reach everywhere! And she thinks it's a fairy wand, so she always wants to dust. She constantly asks for her fairy wand. Swifter you are magical!!!
