Swiffer wipes refills attach to the Sweeper broom to catch and hold dirt, dust, and hair on all the floors of your home. They are 3 times more effective than a traditional broom. They can also be used in addition to your vacuum cleaner, to catch the remaining fine dust, or as an intermediate cleaning tool to avoid having to deep clean too often. Swiffer wipes can be used on all hard surfaces such as: linoleum, vinyl, and ceramic floors that can be waxed or not, as well as varnished hardwood floors.
